To try and complete the puzzle I tried to rotate the blocks in a squre rotation. Than I even tried clicking on every block. I tried every possible patten, yet still did not succede in finding the pattern. I tried yelling at the screen, and still did not get the correct pattern. I tried just about everything in trying to get the pattern, and did not get it. Maybe it's my brain :S

The stradegy I used to solve the puzzle was once I got the first 2 boxes of one row, the other two I would form a square involving 2 of the numbers I needed in place, and then I clicked around trying to fit the numbers in place.
For example, if the row was 1,2,3,4 and I already had 1 and 2. then in the "square" I had 3,4, and 2 other numbers, i'd click around to try to fix 3 and 4 after 1 and 2.

Even though I didn’t make it, I think and I know the strategy for the game is that if we go like building stairs you get most of the numbers one after an other Horizontally

Ok, so the first time I started playing the game I got so close I got 1 to 15 horizontally, and at the very end I only had two numbers switched around, and it would have been impossible to re-arrange the tiles with out re starting the whole game. So I had to re-start it. Then the second time I tried doing 1-15 in a spiral from the middle and I go t half way done then I had to re start it ‘cause I realized that it would be impossible to get the 7 from the bottom left corner to the top right one. So I had to re-start it again. For a third time, Then when I started re-arranging them I realized that the pattern in the colors were spitted into half and half, so I started concentrating on the odds first{blue} so I started re-arranging them to do the “left spiral from the center” re-arrangement. And I was a success! I got it all the way from 1-15

Even though I did not make the game, I think the strategy is like building stairs you go side then to up and keep on going.

I was able to do the 1 to 15 horizontally. The strategy that I used was, well I looked at the one that I wanted to do and I studied how my numbers were arranged then I was putting all the small numbers at the top and the big ones at the bottom. Once I did that I arranged them by order. It was easier like that because all of the small number were at the top so all I had to do was arrange them and same with the bottom.

i think that if you move the the squres in a squre patern then they will start to fall in place

What I did was choose a block that I wanted to move and start moiving the other blocks that blocked it's way and I kept moving it towards the spot I wanted it at.

The way I got the answer ofr the game was I started to move the colored squares on the bottom and then put the uncolored squares on the top. Then I stared to put the numbers in order the way it said.

I used the strategey of moving the tiles in asquare and I successfully ordered them going horizontaly from 15-1. It takes a while to do this strategy though.

During this amazing game I used the strategy of when you have a number in the way you can rotate the numbers and then you put the number that belongs in its right space. So the numbers go in order.

The game is really hard. You have to switch and move the numbers kind of random. All you have to do is think. This game is really hard. Just let your mind take over you and just click until your have a number in order. But try to get numbers in order by lining them up. If a number is all the way on the other side just click away until it goes to where you want it to go.

My strategy is not to get caught in a corner. Go in a constant square like motion. Don’t get caught in a hard spot to get out of.

There is on easy way to lose and that is scramble it until you think you could win then start playing it exactly in order as what it shows on the side of the screen.

My strategies were to get the number underneath where it was needed to be placed and moved all of them in a circular motion to get that number in right position and repeat.

It is extremely easy t do the possible patterns, but when I tried some impossible patterns I was like, whoa.
What I did to do the “possible patterns” is just basically copy the picture and put my tiles in the same order as the little picture, basic strategy.
But with the “impossible patterns” I copied the picture but I never got the last tile out of four in its place. I tried and tried but I just never got the last one. There were tiles causing an L shape blockade to where I couldn’t input a tile into its rightful place. I really just tried to copy the picture but I couldn’t get there.

CW! :D

What I did was I just like messed around with the tiles a lot until all the tiles went where they were supposed to. And when I messed up I went back and started over because then when you start over its easier to start over and do the moves over.

Anonymous said...

My winning strategy was starting with the one tile and moving it all the way to the top left corner or whatever place was shown on the example. Then have two and three and so on follow along to the correct places their supposed to be for that puzzle.

I LOST AND HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT THE STRATEGY. I KEPT GETTING STUCK

Anonymous said...

MV: The strategy that I used to finish was puzzle was I flipped the number around and I use shortcuts to get there, but to help me more I went in lines. Also i tried to keep my number that were in order together.

The game I was previously playing was difficult to unravel. I tried to get the numbers to where they needed to go by going along the side. It didn’t work well. I also tried to revolve numbers in a circle like form. That to do nit work for me. yet I think if one took time would most likely figure it out. The real difficult thing was trying top get a bottom number to the top and like vise versa. Next time please put a very easy puzzle on there..

The Strategy of the game is to organize the numbers in order with only one empty space left. My strategy is to keep ordering them row by row until all of the rows are gone. To switch two of them you go around in a circle until they are together.

Well i started out just messing around with the numbers and then i had the number 1,5,9,13 at the top, and saw that it showed it on the side, so i said i would work those numbers i then started moving the game number into there places but at the end couldnt get the last number in every time i thought i got it the other number would move and i realized i would have to restart.

I did 1 to 15 horizontally. My losing strategy was that I would try to go up and then over, but that didn't seem to work. Then I kept trying, but i couldn't find out how to get the puzzle correctly.

1. Which color of squares is growing at the slowest rate? Blue. At the fastest rate? Green. Graph the 3 formulas to get a picture of the growth of all three.
2. How many squares of each color will be in the 8th stage of the design? Blue-36 Red-78 Green-96.
3. Will the design use 42 blue squares in any stage?Yeah, in the 7th stage. Will it use 102 red squares? No, I wont. Will it ever use 830 squares in all? No.. If so, state the stage number for each answer.
