"The Paragon of Atlantis" Puzzle


 

"After the discovery of the secret location of Atlantis, a river of knowledge was available to the rest of the world. It seemed that no more knoweldge was necessary. But a mysterious pattern could unfold the key to a sacred energy source. According to a legend, the positive energy of that source was so powerful, that it could solve all major global problems in an instant.

Finding the way that connects the two correct closed paths is not easy and can be very deceiving. And although the task might be daunting, a successful outcome would be very rewarding."

 

 

Some technical information

This puzzle is a 9-tile magic myth with a more elegant theme than the well known maze theme. It is based on the "greek key" pattern, which was very commonly used in ancient times. It has two solved states:

(1) a spread triangle state (black background with cyan lines) which looks like a stand, and
(2) a pyramid state (yellow, green and red colors).

Both solved states require the line to be continuous, going through consistent colors, and no line leads to a dead end. The design makes the puzzle extremely hard, much harder than the Secret of Atlantis puzzle. In fact, before even finding the pattern, someone must practice ways to find the appropriate shapes first! ;-)




Two more photos are presented at this stage. More photos were not
possible to make because of the difficulty in finding the solutions!!!!


The pyramid form is correct, but the puzzle is still unsolved as the lines do not match.

 


Solved pyramid form! There is more than one solutions, but finding them, is another story! ;-)

 


The spread triangle state, can serve as an ideal stand for the Memory Cube!!! ;-)

 


To build this puzzle you will need some strings, plastic tiles, and some nice paper tiles.
For information of how to connect/number the tiles and the strings, visit two brilliant articles here and here,
