GOD!!! NO TAKERS? They are not that tough, Are they?

Ashok.

I was able to do game one no problem but i cant do game 2

yea, those stupid canibals are giving me a problem too. if you could send more than 2 in the boat, or send and empty boat, i could do it easy.

hey
the third round is realy tricky and nearly took 30 mts to crack that !!
cool games indeed !

I am still stuck at Game 3 !!

Ashok.

Greg, May be this clue will help :
At a point in the game, if you are on the right track, you will have one moster and one saint each in either side of the river and in the boat.
Good Luck !

Ashok

yea, the next time i tried it i finished without even paying attention to what i was doing! game 3 was pretty easy because i have seen that problem recently... now i am bored.

ashok,
just because 1 is the fastest does not mean he has to go on each trip... think about consolidating a couple longer trips into the same...

These games drive me nuts, in the sense that once I start, I can't stop. I can easily waste half a day on puzzles.
I have finally finished game 3 and now I am anxiously awaiting game 4 (they mail it to you)...

Of course if your name is Saprano, you just kill the old guy.

Forgive my ignorance but who is Saprano?
I asked for game 4 by email but did not get it. It is a ploy to make you gave your feedback. I was CHEATED

! Now I'm all depressed with no game to play. Looks like I'll have to work for a change.

First two weren't too hard. Game 3 is the hard one. That clue didn't help one bit!
Ahh well. I'll keep trying!

Coool Idea... I was desparately searching for an alternate way to spend my tiring office hours! Thanks Rosie

Ashok.

hey the game are cool,
but i am still stuck at game 3....give a clue...its driving me nuts.
Aakanksha

i finished all the three games in 5 mts
could someone send the 4th game

Game 3 is bugging me too

Cracked it .... I'm amazed I didn't think of that solution earlier ... must have been tired!

Ok, another clue for all those who are still spending all their office hours trying to crack game 3..
slow-movers goes together.. but keep in mind that sending one of the slow movers back with lantern is foolish... so we need a fast moving guy to bring back the lantern....
Oh.. I said the whole secret ! This is like FilmiFunda quiz, MTV India.
Question: Who is the hero of Amir Khan's new superhit movie, Lagaan?
A. Spiderman,
B. Batman, ORRRR...
C. Aamir Khan.
And.. here is a clue... Batman and Spiderman doesn't speak Hindi.. Best of Luck!!
Happy cracking game3 !!
Ashok.

Wake up Logic-Kings of Javaranch !! They have included Game 4 !!
Give it a try...

[I just saw that - haven't tried yet]
Ashok
[ Hey, iaf !! Dont do that please... those who are new to the game will never find the real fun in solving it if some one tells them the solution forehand... please.. There are so many other who solved that third game, including me.. but we kept it a secret so that others can keep trying and enjoy them...]

OK, solved all 4 available, but worked out 3 and 4 on paper first.
After seeing the first missionary consumed, I lost my appetite for losing!

GimMe the ANSWER to 4

GIMME GIMME GIMME

I breezed through 1, 2, and 3...but stumped on 4. It almost seems like you have to know or memorize a specific path.

Could not get thru the game....

Hi guys,
For those who would prefer to do Number 4 themselves, don't look.
8 3 12
2 5 14 11
9 12 7 4
1 10 13
The spacing doesn't look good here, but if you put it on paper,
where you start at 1, move sequentially (difficult for OOP folks)
and then move from 14 back to 1, that's it.

What do those #'s mean, howard?....They are not even normal knight moves (move 2 and over 1)....is it just me or does it make sense to everyone?

Also i dont see a 6.

Sorry, 1st 12 should be the 6.
Let's try this>
<pre>
------------
| 8 | 3 | 6|
----------------
| 2 | 5 |14 |11|
----------------
| 9 |12 | 7 | 4|
----------------
|1 | 10 |13|

The fifth game is up!!!
LOOKS TOUGH

I got it in 8 trys my first time...I don't think that was a good score though.

Tough indeed. I got it in first attempt, but in 21 movements!!!

In Hall of shame, if they have any.. !!
There should be some better combination to do this!

I have cracked Game5 with 3 solutions. Two solutions need 8 moves, one solution needs 13 moves.
Anyone who needs the solutions can mail me.

Doug.

Justin,
You should NOT tell me about such games when I am at work, it is TOO frustrating

Of course it could be cuz I have not had enough time to work on it. Good puzzle though. < nasty little minotaur, grrrr >

ahh, the Knight's Tour problem... i just learned about game #4 in Discrete Modeling (mathematics class) this semester. we are going to model the knight's tour over a complete chess board next semester in the 2nd class.
i am going to figure this one out using graph theory before i attempt to play the game. is that cheating, or just using my knowledge?

Down to 5 moves for puzzle 5 but still no perfect, only outstanding

There must be a quicker way...

i solved the elevator problem (game #5) with 8 moves as well... does anyone have a shorter solution?
**edit**
my post looks pretty stupid because you got your post in just before me... duh!

5 moves for puzzle 5

Now I can't figure out how I did it and I'm back to 8 moves again, where's a pencil and paper when you need it
