Can you post an animation on gfycat or youtube or something???
I'm the author of both challenges, I'm interested in seeing this animation you've done!

Cheers and congrats on solving the first part!

I'm also stuck with Bricolage. It seems that all my approaches take too long to decide that a current state is unsolvable, thus navigating through a lot of useless solutions until it finds the right one.

It's possible that some people haven't ever seen this challenge (it may have been introduced after they stopped solving challenges).

I prefer the challenge system the way it is right now, those cities are like 'boss-challenges', and you have multiple paths leading to them. None of these boss challenges is some obscure-crypto challenge that few people solve, they're usually coding challenges where the task you have to do is pretty...

Good to see adum still lurking around =)

Even if it was cool to see that the last challenge accepted was one made by me, it would be great to have new challenges to tackle!

Good luck on finishing coil, adum!

Very interesting! Well done.

I suppose you've made a few adaptations in order to match the pieces' edges, etc, right?

Well, what can I say... Spiral Bits is totally worth doing (see here http://tron.yamagi.org/zeug/map.svg) because there are at least 30 challenges coming from there and they are worth so many juicy points :) It is a coding challenge and it is very clear what to do... I think that it is fair that th...

tron's super useful map which I've been using to find the best routes to unlock the challenges that I want to attempt: http://tron.yamagi.org/zeug/map.svg I still think it is not cool that Spiral Bits is blocking off so many other challenges, some of them being quite a bit easier to solve from all ...

Yeah that's true.. last Create a Challenge submission happened long ago in 2011 :(

And the last challenge ever included in the map was challenge 303, in 2011 as well (made by me! :D )

Hope that one day hacker.org returns to its former glory!

Is there any possibility to have more levels? Does anyone know adum's status regarding this website?
