If your bored during the snow storm and need something to do.

And just FYI I miss when they had toys in the box instead of these things.

Pro tip: These puzzles are always best solved by working backwards.

IDK if it would matter if you went from a number to another hex with that same number, but here is a path that only touches 50 hexes in order.

You skipped hexes 6 and 13

This path is still correct, just with some detours.

Near as I can tell it's the only route that works.

Also, it's super easy if you start at 50 and work down. All the "tricky" forked pathes are set to lead you wrong if you're starting from one. Since there's only one winning route, by starting at 50, you never have issue.

Dozzi92 4 points 9 months ago

You mean a correct route? I feel like I'm in bizzaro world. Go straight down from start and you're good to not skip 6.

I didn't check the route pictured. I just solved it and then came to the comments.

What I said stands. Start at 50 and work backwards. You pretty much can't screw it up.

I don't know if people are just messing with us or not. I see serious "solutions" that just skip numbers.

That all being said, "good enough" has been my motto in life, so I shouldn't be so quick to judge.

I went from 50 to 1 and went to the right from 13 to 12

You can go straight down from 1 and meet up with your path at 13

Even fast food kid's meal toys used to be awesome. There were the cool light-up collectible LoTR goblets from BK, and McDonald's had the buildable Bionicle characters.

Frosted flakes had one with some awful gimmick voice control software for your pc that would let you open a web browser with voice commands in like 2005. Nobody at school believed me because they thought that was crazy cutting edge tech.

There are two paths. You can use either of two 10 hexes to connect 9 and 11.

I used to do a lot of mazes as a kid and one of the tricks is to often start from the terminus and go backwards. There are significantly less branches doing that in this case especially.

just start from the 50 side and count down yall it's super easy, don't start at the 1 like a chump. Around the halfway mark is when it is the most complex with more choices at the 25โ€“28 area

JackbyDev 4 points 9 months ago

I've solved this before and wondered why it was so easy, the "trick" here is that you have to end with 50, so that's not the right path. The instructions say to use 1 - 50.
