- | ===== A Quick Guide to Puzzle Box Solving Methods ===== | ||
- | Many years ago puzzle boxes were introduced to the original version of our game.[sup][font size=" | ||
- | These were 5 x 5 grids meant to emulate a game that first became a popular | ||
- | craze between 1870 and the 1880' | ||
- | |||
- | In the game a player is presented with a picture broken into 24 square pieces and subsequently scrambled. | ||
- | the picture looks like when solved. | ||
- | |||
- | Learning the general steps of the process can be important to applying them in a real scenario. | ||
- | |||
- | The scrambled version of this image could vary significantly but will resemble something like the following image (which is the one we will be using for demonstration purposes). | ||
- | |||
- | To illustrate the process we begin by building a numbered reference based on the solved image. | ||
- | |||
- | Using this system we then label the images as they appear in the scrambled version above. | ||
- | |||
- | Numbers can only be dragged into the grey space (25) at which point 25 will replace where | ||
- | that number once was. | ||
- | |||
- | Starting at the top left we begin to solve the array. Notice that, here, several numbers are already in their correct spots (1, 6, 11, 17, 24). | ||
- | |||
- | Working left to right be can easily assemble the first 3 numbers: | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | - Block 7 moves down into what is now block 25, | ||
- | - block 2 moves left into what is now block 25, | ||
- | - block 3 moves up into what is now block 25. | ||
- | |||
- | Note that this process winds up with the upper left grid of 4 completed as well! The array as completed so far appears on the right. | ||
