Da Vinci Code Puzzle 11

The “chess” puzzles appear to be getting more challenging by adding more pieces. If you’re playing by answering the questions, it’s probably no more difficult. But if you’re playing according to the way suggested by the puzzle’s designer, Wei-Hwa Huang, (thanks to Derrick for mentioning this in the comments) more peices means more possible moves to consider adding considerable complexity to the puzzle.

Curiously, I thought I had figured out a separate sequence of moves that would work–as long as you ignore the moves you have as options. Of course, when I went back to the site to confirm, it was an entirely new puzzle.

I’ve noticed that some of the puzzles are different when you go back to them. You might try reloading until you see your initial board pattern. There can’t be too many variations every day.

Why don’t you just do it by yourself? If you can’t do it, you’re not qualified for this, and shouldn’t make it harder for others who *are* to potentially win. I mean, honestly, you’re really only fooling yourself if you can’t figure out puzzles as mind-numbingly easy as these ones. . .

Dan, I enjoy commenting on puzzles and I’ve never posted any answers to the challenges. One of my commenters did, and I specifically added a warning. Besides, from everything I can tell, the puzzle creators want you to use Google to find the answers.

I recommend chilling out. It’s a game and the goal is to have fun. The ultimate winner will be good at solving puzzles but also very lucky.
