At attempt to solve this with computing power would take more than just brute force, you would need to develop some pretty good algorithms to cut down on the number of permutations to make it possible.

What can humans do so well that we couldn't teach a program to do?

Man, this would be a great project for an AI programming course.

I solved it and it said "Sorry, your solution does not match any of the successful combinations in our database."

How did you manage that - I worked on your solution and got the congratulations message ?

But following the thread Eternity II does look awesome... I know you normally give up work AFTER winning $2 million... but could you give up work BEFORE and then work on the solution [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Official site is here http://www.eternityii.com - looks like it launches in a few hours - anyone seen it in the shops yet ?

Hi everyone,

I have been looking for a forum with people talking about Eternity 2. I have completed the online one in 1 min 10 sec's and thought it was quite easy.

I have since bought the full 256 puzzle but have a question.

There are 2 clue puzzles to buy, complete and get clues to the 256 one. my question is. Its says there there are many ways to complete the 256 puzzle so how can the clue puzzles help everyone. The clues given might not work for someone has already started the puzzle with there own method. This is because there are many way to complete the puzzle.

Thx

Guyver99

Looking on Wiki there is one additional constraint:

Piece 139 has to go in a specified place in the
center of the board.

There are 22 different colors not counting the
grey edges.
