Interactive Memory Puzzle

[nmgscp]

With an even number of glasses upwards it's impossible, by turning 2 each time, to end up with an odd number upwards.

[nmgscp]

There is simpler than that... Turn the left and the right glasses upside 1st, then turn 2 downside and upside again.

it impossible i did exactly what you di and it said i was wrong

[elidudewithcube]

the cups are upside down of the original solve

[DarkCh0c0Latt3]

i saw this trick already as the first time you did it the order was down up down. after you finished fixing it you put the glasses in a order that is up down up, so it is impossible because you put it backwards for us

[kioarthurdane]

Since the order of the glasses doesn't matter, each of the first two moves are "wasted" as the input and output are both, 2 down, 1 up. The puzzle is always one move away from being solved, and yet the problem is to solve it in a fixed number of moves, which any arbitrary target will suffice: Solve in X moves, waste X-1 moves, then perform the "win" move.

Despite it's trivial solution, I'd like to see if my 10 year old niece can figure it out.

impossible :D

as soon as i started i new fukin easy

[mindlinkzelda576]

I tried this, it took about 5 times, thats when my friend started to giggle, because she knew it all a long! lol, good way to keep people guessing!

[ekranda]

Love this puzzle - tried it a few times - even after i noticed they weren't set out the same as your demo. V impressed!

[wildflower12]

What a clever way to present such a sneeky game!

[brettsmith1982]

That would be an awesome bar trick. That is as long as it doesn't get the stuffing kicked out of me.

[TheMeltingSnowman]

I worked in bars for years and used to do this all the time, after they've had a few beers you can have someone puzzling over this for hours!

[adnerb924]

no more playing ...fill them up!

[llamajuice]

I realized what you did there and after trying about six times I realized that it was impossible.

Interesting way to get views though, that's for sure :P

[MaverickToro]

you're a sneaky bugger.  Nice!

[proffmongo]

I saw what you did you bugger!!!! LOL!!!

[Dinksmallwood1]

3 words:

Im pos sible

But awesome nonetheless...

[MooTubeProductions]

i dont think there is a way for 1up 2down 3up

[paisleypower30]

That was fun ;)

[wogsland]

Alora has played about 50 times and still can't get it...

[TheMeltingSnowman]

I wondered how the views went up so quickly.

[wogsland]

I had to demonstrate all possible solutions to Alora on the whiteboard before she would believe that impossible of solving your puzzle.

[alorabora]

please give us the same pattern of cups atleast,this is impossiblle

[wogsland]

This is really cool ... although Brittan had to explain it to me.
