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.
I found that there are 5 different solutions with several diverging paths:
spoiler
(I might have been a little border...)
That's neat!
literally 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 25–28 area
Pro tip: These puzzles are always best solved by working backwards.
i learned that when i was a kid doing these haha
You skipped hexes 6 and 13
I blame not being able to see through my finger as I drew the lines. 😔
I blame you
This path is still correct, just with some detours.
Awesome same route I took.
You also skipped hexes 6 and 13
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.
There's another correct route that doesn't skip any numbers
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.
There's 2 correct routes that don't skip any numbers. The one you mentioned, and the one shown in the pic (the one shown skips a couple numbers, yes, but it can actually pick up those numbers without any trouble.)
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.
You said the only route. I'm pointing out that there's 2.
Technically there's three other combinations besides OP's, if you wanna be a dick about it.
But they're all that same path with just minor changes before hoping back on that same path again.
There's another correct route that doesn't skip any numbers
Could you point out the part where I was being a dick? Jeez.
For starters, op had the right way. He just drew his lines wrong in a couple spots. He had it right. It's not like he skipped numbers because he was on a dead route.
For starters, op had the right way.
Yes? I didn't claim or imply otherwise. I was literally only replying to your statement of 'it’s the only route that works.' by just noting that there was a second route that also works. I have literally no idea why you're taking offense.
Your second route is pretty much just the same route. You just go off it a little and then back onto it again.
solution
any alternative paths?
I mean, you skipped 5 and 6 but yeah that’s the easiest way to solve it.
omg.
most people aren't solving this with 3 drinks in em lol
Looking at some of the other solutions posted I'm starting to think everyone in this thread is drunk.
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 stg I thought it was perfect when I posted it
That's quite an assumption
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
Here's mine.
You're the only person who solved this correctly.
Remember when you got CDs on the inside??? That era of cereal was the shit.
mutha
fucken
CHEX QUEST.
Cereal toys have been in decline ever since.
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.
I remember wacky wall walkers
That smelled like froot loops
When they were made with sugar
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.
Oh, naturally it's on archive.org https://archive.org/details/TalkingTony
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.
Huh. A pen and paper little puzzle format that I’ve never seen before.
I wonder what this whole category of games is even called. Used to see them in things like kids magazines mostly.
This was fun, thanks
You're welcome never done one of these myself. But now yeah fun as hell.
I always knew that buzzyboi was a troll. Them double 28s and 37s were trying to trip us up.
I’m surprised General Mills (and other cereal companies) haven’t put the treasure trove of stuff like this that they already own into a branded app or website. It would make good promotional material. I’m reminded of when you could get free Halloween records on the back of Boo Berry and Count Chocula.
Yes, it's along the left side.
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.
