The premise of the puzzle is quite simple. Here's how to set it up.




  1. Draw a 5x5 grid of squares.


  2. Write the number 1 in the middle.


  3. Make a "snake" of numbers up to 25 so that each number is orthogonal from the previous number AND the next number.


  4. Divide the grid into the pentominoes formed by the numbers 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, and 21-25.


  5. If no two of the pentominoes are the same when rotated or reflected, you win. If two or more are, then you lose.




Example:



sorry for bad quality



This fails because 6-10 and 11-15 are the same, as are 16-20 and 21-25.



Is it possible to win this game? If your answer is no, prove it. If your answer is yes, give an example.



(I don't quite know how to tag this, feel free to edit some other tags in.)

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

          Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
