Okay, 99 done — finally | She Who Shapes

https://shewhoshapes.wordpress.com/2008/03/10/okay-99-done-finally

Discussing how to solve Neopets’ Shapeshifter puzzle. Okay, 99 done — finally. March 10, 2008 – 7:36 pm. 99 hadn’t finished by the time I got home. Maybe I was taking it too lightly? So I restarted, and got a beautiful *no* flips board that Shifter solved in 430 seconds while I was making dinner. I played the board and am now third place — officially a Shapeshifter Champion, with a gold trophy hopefully by the morning. Laquo; 97 done, but 98 not done. Oh wait, it’s done now. Why level 49 sucks. Kvho was ...

Level 100…. tougher than it looked. | She Who Shapes

https://shewhoshapes.wordpress.com/2008/03/14/level-100-tougher-than-it-looked

Discussing how to solve Neopets’ Shapeshifter puzzle. Level 100…. tougher than it looked. March 14, 2008 – 8:02 am. Last night I started level 100. The first puzzle was three flips and Shifter had not solved it before I went to bed. This morning, I restarted with a two flip puzzle. I’ll let it run all day, except…. Thanks, Sensei, for the gentle reminder that I shouldn’t assume 100 would be easy just because 99 was. Laquo; The future…. Posted March 14, 2008 at 1:55 pm. Posted March 14, 2008 at 2:05 pm.

Level 100 done! | She Who Shapes

https://shewhoshapes.wordpress.com/2008/03/14/level-100-done

Discussing how to solve Neopets’ Shapeshifter puzzle. March 14, 2008 – 6:55 pm. But no jigs yet! Shifter solved it in about 3h 20m, which isn’t bad. It isn’t great either. I have placed every piece but the last, so if worst comes to worse and I lose the solution, well, it’s obvious where that last piece goes. I haven’t used Kvho to check my times for many levels, but just now I started it. I predict Kvho will solve it in less than five minutes. Edit: Kvho solved it in 994 seconds. I’m stuck on 26, ...

89, 90, 91 done | She Who Shapes

https://shewhoshapes.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/89-done

Discussing how to solve Neopets’ Shapeshifter puzzle. 89, 90, 91 done. March 7, 2008 – 7:35 am. Woke up this morning, placed the last piece of level 88 (yay! Level 89 — 41 seconds. Made a mistake placing pieces so I had to start all over again, solved the next puzzle in 40 seconds. I definitely need some sort of way to estimate if a puzzle is going to take 40 seconds or 40 days to solve. Level 90 — 4.66 seconds. Nice! Level 91 — just three flips! This is taking longer than four seconds. Done at 107s.

Discussing how to solve Neopets’ Shapeshifter puzzle. Results of the quick optimization. March 6, 2008 – 8:25 pm. That quick optimization I wrote about a couple of days ago saves 15% of the time needed to solve 88. That’s a great board for testing. Not so large that it never finishes, not so short that I can’t easily tell what optimizations are working. 15% is pretty darn good for one line…. If flips = 0 and board.brdarr[M P.parr[0] = 0: continue. 85, 86, 87, 88 done. March 6, 2008 – 7:44 pm. Almost time...

Discussing how to solve Neopets’ Shapeshifter puzzle. 97 done, but 98 not done. Oh wait, it’s done now. March 10, 2008 – 7:38 am. Took three tries to find a fast solving board. 99 is four flips. I’m going to let it run because I have to get to work now. Ie, it didn’t finish immediately. Laquo; 95, 96, 97 done. Okay, 99 done — finally. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

https://shewhoshapes.wordpress.com/2008/03/08/92-93-94-done

Discussing how to solve Neopets’ Shapeshifter puzzle. 92, 93, 94 done. March 8, 2008 – 4:20 am. 92 done, 1 flip, Shifter solved it immediately. The goal symbol was not the sword, as warned, though I didn’t notice untilI went to place the pieces. 93 done, 4 flips, 3.2 seconds. Yay Shifter! 94 done, 5 flips, finished instantly. Too bad the puzzles in the 40s-70s aren’t this easy. And with 94, I hit max Neopoints, so see ya tomorrow. If things go well, I will hit 99 Monday. Laquo; 89, 90, 91 done.

More on Kvho’s ‘ss’ Shapeshifter solver | She Who Shapes

https://shewhoshapes.wordpress.com/2007/08/02/more-on-kvhos-ss-shapeshifter-solver

Discussing how to solve Neopets’ Shapeshifter puzzle. More on Kvho’s ‘ss’ Shapeshifter solver. August 2, 2007 – 10:57 am. Now that I think on it, I’m not sure Kvho ever ‘places’ a piece on the board, merely keeps a parallel array of the changes and a running count of the number of flips. When that parallel array becomes the inverse of the board, and the number of flips remaining is zero, the board is solved…. Of course. That’s another reason to invert it. That seems so obvious now. Im really close to the...

Discussing how to solve Neopets’ Shapeshifter puzzle. 95, 96, 97 done. March 9, 2008 – 8:21 am. 95 — done instantly. Seems weird that such complicated puzzles would be the fastest to solve. 96 — Shifter took 56 seconds to solve this 1 flip puzzle. Shocking! But it did it! An error while placing pieces means I had to re-do, and the next puzzle was zero flips and finished in a third of a second. And then comes the jig, waking the neighbors. Laquo; 92, 93, 94 done.
