Denomination
Tomorrow, 07.12.2024, the denomination of game coins will be carried out in a ratio of 100:1.
In fact, this means dropping two zeros from all prices and is a technical measure to simplify operations and make things more convenient. Prices on the market, in tournaments, statistics and in all other sections of the site where coins are used will be adjusted automatically in the specified ratio with rounding up. No action is required from players.
November 30th marks the site's anniversary. On this occasion, we are giving all users a gift. To receive it, activate the code: Ann13Prize
on the page: https://en.grandgames.net/craft/code (until December, 1)
We also invite you to a festive tournament with a very high drop: https://en.grandgames.net/tournaments/25725

Tournament for the title of champion 2024.
The competition of participants will take place in the duels section. This table is used only for registration of participants and random formation of pairs. The puzzle opened in each round does not matter, the result will be added to the table manually.
The game is played as follows. Each pair plays up to 9 games in the duels section. The winner is the player who wins 5 games first.
Each pair independently chooses the puzzles they want to play and their duration at their discretion. If a compromise option cannot be found, then everyone chooses 4 types of puzzles and their time (5-10, 10-20 or 20-45). 9 puzzle - mahjong for 10-20 minutes.
Players themselves choose any convenient time for the match, but no later than a day before the end of the round. When the players have decided on the time of the tournament, write a list of puzzles and the time when you will play with the hashtag #champ2024 on the tournament page. After the match, indicate in the comments who won and with what score. The winner of the tournament will receive the title of site champion and a monthly VIP account. Good luck!

This item is awarded to the top five players in each group in the Diamond League each week 💎
League functionality has been updated. The table now has designations for the current place, the number of points from the previous recalculation, and a label showing whether the player will be demoted or promoted if the current situation remains the same. Some parameters have been adjusted. The maximum group size has been increased to 33 people. For leagues 4-6, the number of relegated players is exactly 10 people. For 2 and 3 leagues - 5 people. If there is an equal number of points, sorting is carried out by Site Rank.
With such parameters for the long term, the number of groups, according to our calculations, should remain stable and be 1-2 for diamond, 2-3 for emerald, 4-5 for gold and 8-9 for silver.
The functionality of the brainteasers catalog has been updated. Improved performance, added the ability to switch display modes, fixed some problems.
Boosters that modify the drop rate are no longer supported and have been archived:
Until the end of the year, they can be exchanged using a free prescription for other boosters of equivalent value.
Analysis of the puzzle https://en.grandgames.net/walls/id389670
1. Let's consider the cell with the number 5 in the top left corner (highlighted in red). Two blocks of cells adjoin it, where lines can be drawn (highlighted in blue). However, in order for the number of lines passing through this cell to be equal to 5, three cells from the vertical block must necessarily contain vertical lines (highlighted in green).
2. Reasoning similar to point 1 is applied to 4 cells with numbers (highlighted in red). Blocks of cells that need to be filled with corresponding lines are highlighted in green.
3. Let's consider the cell highlighted in blue. If it contains a vertical line, then the number of lines passing through the cells highlighted in red will not correspond to the numbers in these cells. Therefore, the sought-after cell must contain a horizontal line.
4. Let's consider 4 cells highlighted in red. For all of them, there remains only one option for filling the adjacent cells, which will allow the required number of lines to pass through these cells.
5. After completing step 4, 2 more cells have appeared, for which similar reasoning can be applied.
6. 2 more cells with fully determined neighbors have appeared.
7. The cell with the number 7 highlighted in red already has the required number of lines passing through it. Therefore, the cell highlighted in blue must contain a horizontal line.
8. For 3 cells with numbers, blocks with unambiguously determined positions have appeared (similarly to steps 1 and 4).
9. Now similar reasoning can be applied to 2 more cells.
10. The same reasoning as in step 7 is applied to two cells highlighted in blue. Thus, these cells must contain horizontal lines.
11. For the remaining 4 cells with numbers, there is only one possible option for filling the adjacent cells.
12. The puzzle is solved!
Original article by @Meduzia: https://en.grandgames.net/post/592722Как правило, чем больше возможностей поворота у деталей этой головоломки, тем сложнее ее решать. Для начала рекомендуем порешать вариант с квадратными и треугольными элементами. Рассмотрим процесс решения на более сложном, шестиугольном варианте головоломки “трубы”.
Процесс решения заключается в последовательном нахождении элементов, для которых поворот определяется однозначно. Т.е. существует только один единственный вариант поворота, когда правила не будут нарушены. Такие клетки можно помечать длинным тапом или правым кликом.
Так как отрезок не может упираться в пустоту, мы можем сразу найти несколько таких элементов по краям головоломки. Кроме того, для облегчения решения используйте тот факт, что две детали с окружностями не могут быть повернуты друг к другу, так как образуется обособленный узел. Мы можем мышью поставить красные пометки между ними. Кроме того, можно ставить зеленые линии на границах, где точно должно быть соединение. Это нам поможет в дальнейшем решении.
Далее проверяем детали, которые касаются уже найденных элементов и проверяем, возможно и для некоторых из них можно точно узнать единственное правильное положение. Чем больше рядом с деталью соседей серого цвета и различных пометок, тем больше вероятность, что окажется и у нее есть только один возможный вариант поворота.
Выставление пометок и выделение элементов серым цветом не обязательно, но чем больше мы их ставим, тем проще визуально находить положение новых элементов.
Все головоломки имеют только одно возможное решение и решаются логически.
Продолжаем решение таким же образом дальше, пока не решим головоломку полостью. Попробуйте решить эту головоломку самостоятельно: https://en.grandgames.net/pipes/id434775 Удачи!
Usually, the more rotation options the parts of this puzzle have, the harder it is to solve. To start, we recommend solving the version with square and triangular elements. Let's consider the solving process for a more complex hexagonal variant of the "pipe" puzzle.
The solving process involves sequentially finding elements for which the rotation is determined unambiguously. That is, there is only one single rotation option where the rules will not be violated. Such cells can be marked with a long tap or a right-click.
Since a segment cannot lead into emptiness, we can immediately find several such elements on the edges of the puzzle. Additionally, to facilitate solving, use the fact that two parts with circles cannot be turned towards each other, as it creates an isolated node. We can place red marks between them using the mouse. Also, green lines can be drawn on the borders where the connection must be precise. This will help us in further solving.
Next, check the parts that touch the already found elements and see if it's possible to precisely determine the only correct position for some of them. The more neighbors of gray color and different marks next to a detail, the more likely it is that it has only one possible rotation option.
Adding marks and highlighting elements in gray is not mandatory, but the more we put them, the easier it is to visually find the position of new elements.
All puzzles have only one possible solution and are solved logically.
Continue solving in the same way until you solve the puzzle completely. Try solving this puzzle yourself: https://en.grandgames.net/pipes/id434775
Good luck!
