    I'm joining you.
    Let's see what the puzzles are about this time.


    Edit:
    I've also solved 2/3. I always start at the left side so the only one left to do is the one on the right side and that is a dificult one.

    Edit:
    I give up.
    Not seeing it anymore.

    Apparently puzzle 3 is impossible to solve. The high score table is blank so apparently no one has A. solved it or B. it's impossible to solve.

    It is solvable, I've done it before, it is however very difficult. I will let you know when I get it.

    No matter how I try, I always end up in a similar situation where the last piece can't go to its place:

    Why, how long can you hold your breath? Already struggling after 12 hours?

    Puzzle number 3 is, indeed, impossible to solve. Despite the confusing way it has been drawn, it is, in fact, an extremely simple varient of the classic "slide the blocks" puzzle. You can "unfold" the initial picture into:

    Click image for larger version. 

Name:	Puzzle16 a.jpg 
Views:	24 
Size:	6.2 KB 
ID:	13766

    This is just a 2x3 slider puzzle. Whether or not such a puzzle can be solved depends on its "parity" -- the number of adjacent pairs of blocks that have to be swapped to reach the solution. No matter how much you move things around, the one thing you can never do is change the parity of the layout between an odd number and even number. (This can be proved. Trust me!) If a puzzle needs 3 pairs of blocks to be swapped when I start, and I slide one of them to the next empty space, it will then need either 1, 3 or 5 pairs to be swapped. But never 2 or 4, or, more significantly, never 0. Only initial positions of even parity can be solved.

    Starting with the above initial position, we can make 3 simple moves to reach this:

    Click image for larger version. 

Name:	Puzzle16 b.jpg 
Views:	26 
Size:	6.3 KB 
ID:	13767

    Now you can see that to achieve the correct solution, all we have to do is swap the yellow and blue (and then move the yellow one onto the yellow base). This means the puzzle's parity is currently 1...

    ...which is an odd number...

    ...which therefore has no solution.

    Anybody holding their breath, please feel fee to exhale again!
