🧵 Puzzle 6 (difficulty 3/7, 4/7)
John Puzzle at Fri, 21 Feb 2025 09:34:50 UTC No. 16594593
This is one of my favourites. I hope you enjoy. (posting from phone,no kurisu edit)
Let me explain. This puzzle is a favourite of mine. There are 2 parts to it, one which is fairly easy to spot and another one which complements the first pattern in an abstract sense. The second pattern seems very hard to spot. Most people have gotten to the correct answer through a design flaw. There is an alternative pattern for the 2nd part which produces the same result as intended, but it is far less clever.
I have 2 difficulty ratings for this problem for this very reason. Good luck.
Instructions:
In each puzzle, 2 panels are missing.
You must select 2 of these panels—in the correct order—to complete the pattern. ( 46 is different from 64)
It is possible for the same panel to appear twice (e.g., “11,” “22,” etc.).
None of the puzzle require external resources. You do not need any special knowledge to solve these items. None of the patterns are cultural.
Lastly, you need to provide both the answer choice and the explanation. Feel free to use drawing tools to aid with your explanation. I encourage it so that it is clear to everyone what you are saying.

My first thought is 4->3
The numbers on my picrel are how many lines are between dots. It increased by one.
The other thing which helped me choose between 4 and 5 (both have 3 lines between them) is how many dots are in enclosed spaces.
Left column is all 2
Mid column is 0 1 2
Right column is 0 1 2

you are correct about the first part, but the 2nd logic is that weaker pattern that I've been talking about in the OP. If you got this far, I think you can figure out the best way to distinguish between 5 and 4.
You are close.

the solution is 4 then 3.
in addition to the first rule the first anon proposed, the second rule is: in each row, the minimum number of lines you must cross to link the dots in a freeform path is 0 in the first row, 1 in the second row, and 2 in the last row.

Correct. The overall concept is the following:
Degrees of separation. The difference between part 1 and part 2 is the constraints on how the dots can connect. Part one having a stricter rule (straight lines only) and part 2 allowing for free movement.

Wrong. The answer is 63.

Ok now I'm beginning to think that you are the same cretin that posts wrong solutions on all my posts just to annoy me.
Good job going out of your way just to write some embarrassing bullshit and expose your idiocy to everyone else

You can just be wrong sometimes. It's okay.

You're way too invested in these, on a pathological level

Not quite there yet.
How do you distinguish between 5 and 4

>>16596064
It cant be 4, because both are trapped.
on the second row only 1 >= can be trapped, and 5 meets those criteria

Actually an argument can be made for why it has to be trapped, but the correct solution is much more abstract than both of these arguments.
What you said is too arbitrary.
