Community Q&A
- QuestionI can solve 1 through 12, but when I go on to the last row, 13 is at the end, and 14 and 15 are at the front. What am I doing wrong?Stephen HanCommunity AnswerIn that case, you have to do part three all over again. If you follow the steps, 13 has to be at the bottom of 9, and 14 has to be at the bottom of 10.
- QuestionHow do I change only two tiles?Community AnswerA single swap is known to be impossible. In this type of puzzle, exactly half of the positions are obtainable, those that require an EVEN number of swaps from the starting position.
