Draggable: Easter egg puzzle is too hard

Created on 1 Oct 2017  路  11Comments  路  Source: Shopify/draggable

The puzzle on the top of the homepage that - assumedly - when you solve - gives a great easter egg surprise, is too hard. Unlike the puzzles in the iOS game "klocki" you can't reason your way to a solution, you have to guess and check hundreds of combinations, because there are too many choices.

I solved it. I can now see why my grandparents warned me about this library. 馃懙馃懘

Don't think there's a prize but was too lazy to check. Is there?

I don't think there's any other possible combination.

I'm going to be investigating the puzzle over the weekend, figure out if anything weird is going on and make sure its functioning correctly. Apologies to anyone who has got stuck!

Sorry

haha @then31 its all good. If I was really bothered I'd have just edited your comment 馃槅

Discovered a bug related to https://github.com/Shopify/draggable/issues/8 - this has since been resolved. The puzzle should now be bug free!

@beefchimi if two items are swapped that would be correct otherwise (moving
image this up or
image this left) the puzzle can still show incorrect.

Regardless, I find it amazing that y'all throw easter eggs like this into your documentation, one of the many reasons I love this library! Keep on doing your amazing work and I now have to figure out what a certain set of numbers mean!

haha thanks @smileytechguy ! And congratulations on getting past the first stage 馃槅

To provide a little background:

Most of the puzzle solution is informed by the other sections on the page... there WAS at one point an additional section designed that would have helped provide the solution to the exact ordering of some of these pieces. The section got scrapped as it just wasn't a feature we were going to add to the core library.

Ideally, there is another nudge available to inform the users of the correct solution, but even without it, there is enough to get about 70% of the puzzle solved, then the rest is trial and error.

ALL THAT BEING SAID...

We have a few remaining Draggable shirts printed (a medium and some larges) and the plan is to send them out to contributors and puzzle solvers. You've done both. If you'd like me to send you a shirt - feel free to reach out to me at curtis.[email protected] 馃槃

@beefchimi I was definitely not expecting this, I'll definitely be sending you an email soon! Thanks a ton!

Also, the first stage? :eyes: I wonder if I can play off "exploring documentation" as work
