Gentle Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 My little pea brain has been in full effect for two days to no avail, could get some help on this please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rendolf Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Well I'm not an expert on it, but I can give you some pointers that usually work for me. First, you're gonna want to put the 5s in the middle of each square, since then you only need to have each end add up to 10. Next, get each pair of identical numbers, along with their complement to 10, on the same side (e.g. get both 2s and both 8s on the left, or both 4s and both 6s on the right) since it makes the rest of the puzzle easier and you don't have to worry about the "no same number in the same spot" clause. Then you just have to get it so that each number is across from one that it adds up to 10 with, which is probably the hardest part and one that I'm honestly not great at myself, but if you're lucky then with the setup from the previous steps you might be able to manage it without much difficulty. If all else fails, then you could just upload your save file and me or somebody else could try and solve it for you (maybe getting it to one move away so that you can finish it yourself and see the animation and stuff). Hope this helps, and if you have any questions I'll try and clarify if I can! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progress report, I'm pretty sure its all correct bar the 6 and 9 on the left hand side needing to be swapped around, I've played around with it a bit but I couldn't get them swapped without messing up everything else that's in the correct place. Is there an easy way of swapping the two that I'm not seeing or is it just not possible without messing up the other tiles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me like the 7 and 9 should be swapped rather than the 6, but the issue with that setup would be that the 3s and 7s would be in the same place on both sides which is against the rules (which is part of why I recommended having all the sets of duplicates on the same sides). As for swapping the places of two tiles, it's difficult and I don't know exactly how to do it, but that's another reason I recommended the duplicates on the same side since if you're moving stuff around then it doesn't matter if you swap the places of the 4s or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is Spoiler to in fact switch 1, 3, 7 around (switching 7 and 9 mimicks the second panel, which isn’t allowed). Here is the full (only a few moves) solution (save before trying though, in case I got it wrong): Spoiler Column 2 Down Row 3 Right Row 1 Left Column 2 Down Row 1 Right Row 3 Left Column 2 Up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
