What?

[edit]

"on the bias, as the ladies say" -- What does this mean? -Phoenixrod (talk) 18:21, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, the article appears to be a copyvio of http://www.jimloy.com/puzz/klondike.htm. -Phoenixrod (talk) 18:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Two Solutions

[edit]

I solved the puzzle by hand, and there are two solutions. I've checked and rechecked, and there can be no doubt. Thus the claim that the solution is unique is false. What should we do? Vegasprof (talk) 19:26, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Boy do I feel stupid! I just now noticed that the solution is printed right below the puzzle. As you can see from reading it, there are two solutions, just as I said. Jim Loy's page contains the same contradiction. Vegasprof (talk) 20:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded the article with some detail about the "typo" - is the second solution just the fact that you can choose to go northwest or southeast as the final move? (If so, the final move is when you "come upon a square with a number which will carry you just one step beyond the border", so the direction you actually take out isn't counted.) --McGeddon (talk) 17:58, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Euler

[edit]

Eso de que se creo con la finalidad de que no se pudiese resolver utilizando la regla de Euler es falso, lo he resuelto y la unica forma para hacerlo rapido y bien es resolviendolo desde el final hasta el principio. Si no se hace así solo vagaras tentando a la suerte i no encontrarás la solución. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rayo2295 (talkcontribs) 18:53, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
