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.

i learned that when i was a kid doing these haha

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.

[-] Exbando@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

You skipped hexes 6 and 13

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 3 months ago

I blame not being able to see through my finger as I drew the lines. 😔

[-] Magnum@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago

I blame you

[-] khanh@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

This path is still correct, just with some detours.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Awesome same route I took.

[-] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

You also skipped hexes 6 and 13

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 3 points 3 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.

[-] Dupelet@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago

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.)

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Dupelet@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago

You said the only route. I'm pointing out that there's 2.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Remember when you got CDs on the inside??? That era of cereal was the shit.

[-] spacesatan@leminal.space 1 points 3 months ago

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.

mutha

fucken

CHEX QUEST.

Cereal toys have been in decline ever since.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I remember wacky wall walkers

That smelled like froot loops

When they were made with sugar

solution

any alternative paths?

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I mean, you skipped 5 and 6 but yeah that’s the easiest way to solve it.

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

omg.

most people aren't solving this with 3 drinks in em lol

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Looking at some of the other solutions posted I'm starting to think everyone in this thread is drunk.

[-] SatyrSack@quokk.au 1 points 3 months ago

That's quite an assumption

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

I stg I thought it was perfect when I posted it

[-] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Paulemeister@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

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