AlexHW · **on:** February 06, 2007, 01:23:14 am

The puzzle consists of 8x8 pixel puzzle pieces.
When you think you've solved it, post it here.
If you want to add a new puzzle, you must first solve a puzzle.
If all puzzles are solved, anyone can post a new one.
anybody posting new puzzles without solving one will have their post removed(unless all are solved).

Maybe hard for you, but the challenge is more fun without clues. I'm already half way done.

ptoing · **Reply #3 on:** February 06, 2007, 02:03:52 am

Nah not that hard, 25 minutes ot something

Good fun, neat idea for an activity I have to say.

working on one

Ptoing = Killer of Joy.

This stupid thing was driving me crazy. I just opened it up at work, and tried separating each cube with graphicgale's hard ass selection tool( the free version...not good, no eraser, no fun)...Maybe the next one will be up soon. I need something to kill time while I'm at work.

Joseph · **Reply #6 on:** February 06, 2007, 02:19:56 am

lol ouch...I was way off. nice work

Stwelin · **Reply #7 on:** February 06, 2007, 02:22:53 am

I invested 5 minutes of my time into programming a little applet to blow up everything 4 times and seperate it into blocks for dragabilty.

Is that cheating?

Cow · **Reply #8 on:** February 06, 2007, 02:24:59 am

I'm liking the recent upsurge in activities and challenges.

Someone should do a massive one.

Larwick · **Reply #9 on:** February 06, 2007, 02:28:03 am

Wow, this sounds pretty neat. I'm pretty good at puzzles, methinks. Well, we shall have to see. $:-\$

Btw, are any of the tiles rotated? Cus that would be solid.

ptoing · **Reply #10 on:** February 06, 2007, 03:02:48 am

Here you go.

I think this one is prolly easier than the one Alex made.

Nothing in Alex's was rotated and neither is anything in mine, I think that would be too hard. Lets keep this fun.

Akzidenz · **Reply #11 on:** February 06, 2007, 03:44:03 am

Man, this is a bitch. At least I know what it is now - just have to get the pieces to fit.

Akzidenz · **Reply #12 on:** February 06, 2007, 03:53:49 am

Oh god, I'm retarded.

I was so confused, it seemed like there were pieces missing, and then I realized that I had forgotten to turn 8 layers of Photoshop back on.

I'll pass the next puzzle onto whoever would like to do it - I don't want to keep people waiting, and it'd take me awhile.

AlexHW · **Reply #13 on:** February 06, 2007, 03:59:07 am

someone else can make the next one if it's right

Stwelin · **Reply #15 on:** February 06, 2007, 04:01:06 am

i fucking hate you all. :\ I'm slow to catch on.

~~I'll try to make one, if no one else has anything they are dying to post?~~

nevermind, too much work to do. :\

Didn't see that Akzidenz modified his post. Good thing, as I don't have time to make anything. Woohoo!

I don't give a flying fuck if the top bit is correct, because it is baaaad puzzlemaking, the top 2 rows are really really arbitrary and ambivalent. The rest is nice tho.

AlexHW · **Reply #36 on:** February 07, 2007, 04:25:29 am

if all have been solved, pretty much anyone can post a new one.. but if there is one which isn't solved, its recommended it get solved first.

I dont care, go ahead. once you post one (or whoever) I'll have to wait until I solve another to make my own correct? or since all three of us basically solved the turtle can we all post one?

You're right. I realized at the same second I saw the scrambled version that it was going to be impossible to solve the top part. Sorry about that. Hopefully everyone learns from my mistake so we won't have to see that again. And for the record, here's the unscrambled version:

if you solved at least one, then you can post one anytime.
I just don't want people making tons without solving any and then having a bunch of unsolved puzzles.

but maybe that wouldn't be a problem?

Akzidenz · **Reply #42 on:** February 07, 2007, 08:10:25 am

I don't think that'd be a problem.. I'm sure there'd be at least a few people taking a crack at each one.

ptoing · **Reply #48 on:** February 07, 2007, 11:03:17 pm

In anycase, Lawrence's one was unsolvable, a hoax. That is why he removed it and correctly so. If I spot anyone posting hoax images that are unsolvable I will personally ban him for 3 month. Because it is not funny and spoils the fun. Spoil the fun and get your fun spoiled!

Keep it up, this is really a fun activity.

pkmays · **Reply #49 on:** February 07, 2007, 11:35:22 pm

Yeah, I messed with Lawrence's for a while but gave up after about half an hour. I already had more important things I should have been doing, but working on an unsolvable puzzle is a complete waste of time. Thanks a lot, jerk face. >:P~

ptepid · **Reply #50 on:** February 07, 2007, 11:53:19 pm

Yeah, I thought yours might be unsolvable. I just didn't believe it, seems a terribly vindictive thing to do.

Anyhow, seeing as no-one is posting a new one yet, I'll post mine. Hopefully it's not too hard:

AlienQuark · **Reply #51 on:** February 08, 2007, 03:34:35 am

I had one lined up and everything. Oh well.

pkmays · **Reply #52 on:** February 08, 2007, 03:42:16 am

Yeah, I'm still working on mine. I'm using Pro Motions tile export plugin, that way I can tell if there are any identical tiles. I'm so smart.

Well, I made a pretty messy one, but that should be easy... if no one else has got any. I tried something different when making it. And I'm not gonna use that particular method again... But it works as a puzzle!

(Guile voice) Too easy...

I had this all scrambled and ready to post, but I decided to test it out, despite the fact I knew it had no identical tiles. Good thing too, 'cause there was still some ambiguity, but it should be gone now.

Rox · **Reply #75 on:** February 11, 2007, 11:49:33 am

Yay, the thread lives. See, I told you mine would be easy. Wasn't it easy? I sure as hell hope it was easy, because I spent HOURS trying to figure out how to make it as easy as possible! It's color coded, even. Blue on top, green on middle, brown on bottom, and there's a big figure standing there, and I even made some roads that snake around JUST to make sure there are no interchangable tiles. Also, borders. The one starting point for real life puzzles. Yeah, I sure do hope it was easy.

That's weird, Ptoing. A friend of mine on MSN also said he couldn't see it... but it's a normal Imageshack upload, and no one else has any problems...

ejay · **Reply #76 on:** February 11, 2007, 01:22:08 pm

Actually it was pretty difficult for me, perhaps because it's my first time, but more likely just bad genes.
Here's mine. I'm guessing this will be pretty hard because of the rendering style I used.

I do agree with the zoom its going to be hard to solve thing without zoom.

Good luck

ejay · **Reply #91 on:** February 14, 2007, 07:34:04 am

fil_razorback - cool, seems to work well. The interface design makes perfect sense but it has two usability issues- one is that the tiles' movement resolution is the screen resolution rather than the original image's. The second is the size of the work space- it's easy to run out of room .

.TakaM · **Reply #92 on:** February 14, 2007, 10:08:08 am

I made a pretty simple design, which probably means it'll be a bit hard to figure out

also made one pre-separated for convenience

tomas · **Reply #93 on:** February 14, 2007, 10:41:58 am

fil_razorback's puzzle

I didn't use your online solver though. It would have been great, if you'd have some more space to work on (for example making the workspace twice as wide) and if the tiles snapped to a 8x8-grid when you move them around the canvas, meaning that the possible x- and y-coordinates of the individual tiles could only be multiples of 8.

fil_razorback · **Reply #94 on:** February 14, 2007, 05:16:05 pm

tomas => Congrats ^^
This was the new Therion album's cover ^^

I'll try to find some free time to update the online solver. I also did an ofuscater (thing which messes your bitmap). I'll probably upload it tonight.

GK2.png - mine (solved)

nice work, it would help a lot if you included some way of selecting multiple pieces and moving them round

SCiDT · **Reply #107 on:** February 17, 2007, 10:36:23 pm

Wow, thats really nice fil razorback! I solved a little of my own and just realized its reallllly hard!

Goodluck to the one that solves it!

That is perfect down to the last pixel! I applaud you!

Well Done!

ilkke · **Reply #113 on:** February 07, 2008, 06:09:35 pm

Faktablad, if you unscramble a puzzle, you have to make the next one!

tocky · **Reply #114 on:** February 08, 2008, 06:29:33 am

maybe it'd work better as a free-for-all: if there's no puzzles left, anyone can make one?

Well, if no one else is going to take the opportunity, then allow me to stick my fat nose back in the room. I'm still in awe in how fast Faktablad guessed the last one...bastardo.

Is this it?

tocky · **Reply #118 on:** February 11, 2008, 01:13:36 pm

So I'm not sure if this is a legal move, but Lawrence's solution looks right to me and I have one ready - so I am throwing caution to the wind and declaring it to be new puzzle time!

difficulty: probably kind of easy?
...apologies if this is a dick move. I really don't want to piss anybody off, but I figure more puzzles = success.

Terley · **Reply #119 on:** February 11, 2008, 02:14:19 pm

That actually looks pretty hard, I cant even begin to put any two pieces together.

It looks hard, because it only has five colours, but if you collect the ones with similar patterns they should start to line up kind of easily. (though I can't really quite gauge the difficulty because I already know what it's supposed to look like).

ilkke · **Reply #122 on:** February 11, 2008, 09:39:00 pm

Yeah, it's very hard cause of the blocky style!

Terley · **Reply #123 on:** February 12, 2008, 04:46:48 pm

I think I can make out some letters, but I don't know, I haven't got any puzzle so far.

MikeG · **Reply #124 on:** February 12, 2008, 05:46:36 pm

ive now spent like 2 hours trying to get this puzzle, and its driving me nuts, so i thought i'd share what i've "accomplished" so far, in hopes that someone else sees something in my mess and can finish it...

it doesn't look like anything to me, but each tile in the big chunks doesn't really seem to fit anywhere else. Maybe i've just stred at it too long and i'll get laughed at in a minute, but oh well

whats interesting (to me at least) is that the straight bits where it seems to not fit well are mostly on the tiles themselves, not in the border between them... thats why i've joined it up like this.

Anyway, i cant stand looking at this any longer, enjoy!

Cure · **Reply #125 on:** February 13, 2008, 01:02:18 am

I tried, and mine looked nothing like your segments. Tough nut to crack. Maybe even impossible, unlike real jigsaw puzzles, there is no one correct way.

ptoing · **Reply #126 on:** February 13, 2008, 01:07:54 am

Indeed the big problem here is ambivalence. There are lots of combinations which look like they are making sense, regardless of being right or not.
Same goes for Bob's castle. There are some tiles which are interchangable and it would not look broken. I urge people who are making puzzles that they make less noisy stuff and check that they do not have tiles which are pretty much identical.

Also, I would say, everyone should feel free to post a new puzzle if the newest one is not solved after 24 hours. This way we can keep this thing going.
Nothing speaks against having more than one puzzle open either.

Keep on puzzling

tocky · **Reply #127 on:** February 14, 2008, 11:23:08 am

Okay, I think I should retract this one - it seems pretty unlikely that anyone will solve it, and, looking at mikeG's interpretation I can see where I messed up. I feel bad for posting such a broken puzzle.

Should I just post the solution or something?

Rosse · **Reply #128 on:** February 14, 2008, 12:18:36 pm

Please do not. Maybe someday anyone will solve it. I'd love to try this one and I don't like to skip this thread until then

ilkke · **Reply #129 on:** February 15, 2008, 12:10:33 am

Yeah, Tocky, no spoiling!
Just make sure to not make such a blocky one next time, ok?

I like SO wanted to solve that one, but almost all of the pieces fit 'equally well'.
Darn! I'm sure it's something awesome once you assemble it...

mattpk · **Reply #130 on:** February 16, 2008, 09:13:01 pm

maybe a tempting link to the answer would help, some people who haven't started or quit can see, and people who are working on it can make themself not look at it.

Antago · **Reply #133 on:** July 21, 2008, 05:27:18 pm

close! But the tile under the O should be replaced with the tile under the M

Sampe · **Reply #134 on:** July 22, 2008, 11:57:24 am

I was in the mood so I made something for you folks.

I hope there ain't so many identical tiles. Well, we'll see if it's too hard.

Level: Medium

ter-o · **Reply #135 on:** July 22, 2008, 05:08:30 pm

That's hard

Sampe · **Reply #136 on:** July 22, 2008, 05:24:27 pm

My friend got it right in about 20 minutes. At least it's possible.

ter-o · **Reply #137 on:** July 22, 2008, 05:33:18 pm

You sure you just changed the places of the tiles and not rotated / flipped them? Coz all I'm getting is just these random shapes after I get that orange thing (I don't want to say it out loud coz I don't wanna spoil it) done. It's driving me nuts... maybe I'm just bad at this

ptoing · **Reply #138 on:** July 22, 2008, 05:42:28 pm

About 10 minutes. At first I was a bit "eh?" and then it clicked what it was and I was "oh!" and it was really easy from there on.

As I can not be arsed to make another puzzle, whoever calls dibs after me to do one can make one!

Sampe · **Reply #139 on:** July 22, 2008, 05:50:51 pm

That's not exactly right, but I don't care.

Nice job.

ter-o: Well, you can see the solution now.

ter-o · **Reply #140 on:** July 22, 2008, 05:57:56 pm

Can you post the 100% correct image so we can see it?

ptoing · **Reply #141 on:** July 22, 2008, 06:06:38 pm

Fixed mine, I think now it's 100% correct.

yep, close enough. Those things at the bottom were supposed to be round bubbles.

Hey, while I remember, do you have the solution to your scrambled image for the descrable it thing?

Quote from: tocky on October 05, 2008, 02:17:33 pm

A month ago my computer dies, takes with it the only copy I kept of the solution. That same week, ilkke comes and he asks me if I can send it to him. I say, you know what? I made this puzzle, I can put it back together. So I gave it a go, and spent hours doing it, and in the end it turns out even I couldn't do it, not exactly. So I really am sorry about how broken it was.

Anyway, it's something very close to:

Again, I 'm really sorry about this whole damn thing.
