Is this Puzzle Box logically solved 100% of the time...

Postby TomHyberger » Thu Jan 19, 2012 9:52 am

....because I can't figure it out 100% of the time and it's the only Puzzle Box pattern that really pisses me off.

OOOO
OOOO
OOOX
XXXO

Am I missing a piece of logic here or is this just one of those things thrown in to ensure I don't hit 100% on puzzle boxes?

For line 3 it can be anywhere obviously depending on where you start your deduction process but it's pretty annoying.

No it cannot be solved 100% of the time. You use up 3 tries to find out the colours, and still need 3 tries for all the position possibilities.

actually every combination of the 4 color box is solvable with max 5 tries, so 100% of the puzzles can be solved with 5 tries or less..

There is a mathematical formula and explanation on that topic, but I cant find it right now.. if I find it Ill post it for ya

Im not 100% clear, but I believe you mean after 3 tries you've determined its 3 of one color (say blue) and one of another (yellow).

4. RYYR (results will either be 1 correct, 0 misplaced or 0 correct 1 misplaced.)

if 1 correct, 0 misplaced

5. BYBB
6. BBYB

if 0 correct 1 misplaced
