    I've solved it twice now (118, 120), but it won't let me enter the @ symbol in my email address, it puts a " instead. Anybody know how I can get it to do the '@'? If I try and submit it without it says my email address is invalid.

    Have you gone US on your keyboard, the @ is somewhere else now, might be on the 2 instead of the ". Otherwise you will have to go looking for it :D

    Bingo, it was on the " instead. Thanks for that.

    maybe try by the code: ALT 64
    While pressing down the ALT key, type the digit code on the numeric key pad

    it's different for MAC thought - something control shift ...
    oh, and on laptop, there is a special trick for this but can't remember

    Did it in 46 :)

    I couldn't work with the picture so I did a screen grab of the starting position, printed it out, turned the squares into letters A, B, C etc. and worked it out from there.

    The starting position changes when you click RESTART GAME so a lot depends on how scrambled things are when you start.




    Then it was time to get serious. :cool:

    It's such a common type of puzzle there had to be software somewhere to solve it so first I tracked that down. Then after a few clicks of RESTART GAME it seems there are only 6 different starting positions. According to the software the smallest number of moves for solving the puzzle from those six start positions ranges from 32 to 42.

    If you want to do it in 32 moves click RESTART GAME until the top left corner piece is in the right position then use the following sequence....

    DRDRURULLD
    LURDDLURRU
    LDDRURULDL
    LU

    Where 'D' means slide a tile DOWN into the empty space, 'R' means slide to the right, 'L' to the left and 'U' slide a tile UP.


    I don't smoke and don't want the tent, I just like puzzles :eek:

    Can I just say thats really good and now hopefully everyone on here will be in with a chance of winning!
    Thanks a lot!
