Re: [math-fun] nice little sliding block head exercise
Scott H.> If moving 1 piece pushes/moves N-1 other pieces, does that count as 1 move or N moves? N. As Neil explained it to me, that's one "action". A "move" is one piece along any path. A "step" is one piece moving one square. --rwg Your sneaky moderator used rotation and claims six moves vs nine. This is so unthinkably illegal that I doubt there is even a term for such a maneuver. A "deviation"? A "tort"?
I simply rotated the whole board and got the S tetromino to the lower-right in 1 "tort". On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 6:09 PM, Bill Gosper <billgosper@gmail.com> wrote:
