Level MINUS 17

[amh]

Hey, I have completed this level, but I saw some people here saying they can solve this puzzle in 5 or less moves. Is that really true in the general case? I wrote myself a brute-force program that simply tries all possible sequences of moves (yeah, it's "cheating" but not cheating), and most of the time it required 7, sometimes 6 moves. Am I missing something about the mechanic? Is my program wrong?

I hated this level at the time. Recently I revisited it, after someone claimed "it's not that hard' here. I started with a puzzle that looked almost complete and took my time, and yeah, it's not that difficult ... and I did it in 5 moves.

I highly recommend grabbing a piece of paper and a pen and drawing five by five squares with numbers. Inside of each box write a number of clicks required to change the tile color to the right one.
Having in mind how do those tiles react on click and which color switches to which will make the riddle easy.

I completed the puzzle and whenever I click to continue, it sends me to the beginning. I don't know what to do to continue. can i pm someone?

I don't know if anyone still reads any of this, but I wanted to say this is my favourite level. Ever. In the whole thing.

There's still quite some activity here. Good that you loved this level, I hated it lol

This is the best advice. I wrote a small program in JavaScript that did exactly that, and ran it in the browser console for every puzzle. Solved all 9 in no time.

Hi,

Is this level broken? I solved it multiple times but after it the puzzle disappears and I get a PHP error like this (redacted for spoiler reasons):

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: join(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type ?array, string given in <path-to-this-level>.php:97 Stack trace: #0 <path-to-this-level>.php(97): join(Array, ',') #1 {main} thrown in <path-to-this-level>.php on line 97

I tried this in level in multiple browsers (including clearing the cookies between attempts) but I think this is server-side.

Can someone please advise/check it? Thanks.
