Entrapment: A Sneak Preview
Friday, May 25, 2007

Here's something special, just for the readers of this blog. A new puzzle is coming at The Problem Site. The name of the game is "ENTRAPMENT", because the goal is to "trap" the computer's red dots between your own gray dots.
ENTRAPMENT
How do you trap the computer's dot? By placing two of yours on either side of it, in such a way that if you drew a line connecting your two dots, the computer's dot would lie on the midpoint. To say it differently, the computer's dots have to be halfway between two of yours.
Sounds easy, right? Well, you might think so, until you see a puzzle like the one below, in which the computer has eight dots, and you only have five dots with which to trap his!
This new puzzle is not yet linked into The Problem Site, so only readers of this blog will get this sneak preview before the game goes live.
