that is not solvable, why does it think it's solvable

That is odd I solved it rather quick.

Go on the pink, then blue, Then Purple, Then Green, then Blue, then green, then pink

[Putnam]

blues adjacent to yellows are not crossable

the reason it was considered solvable is because i was trying to access a member of a number instead of the actual object that the number is the index of in an object i was traversing

...because javascript considers trying to get number members normal

it'll even let you assign members of a number, though trying to access said member later will get you undefined

[Neonivek]

blues adjacent to yellows are not crossable

Right... but there is no yellow adjacent to that blue

ohh whoops from the bottom

[Putnam]

? The only blue accessible from the starting area is adjacent to a yellow

No diagonal, remember

Yep if that yellow was red, it would be solvable. But there is no where to start that would get you to the end.

So we solved it!

My rule of thumb is that if it's hard to give someone money, and your life doesn't depend on it, then they're not getting money.

Pretty much. If people want your money they'll make it easy for you to give it to them.

I do love Tesla.  This company's finances are so ridiculous, it's like something out of the Twilight Zone.

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA): Q3 EPS of -$0.58 misses by $0.08.

Revenue of $1.24B (+33.0% Y/Y) misses by $20M.

Shares +7.3%.

The comments on that article are great:

This is like a headline from The Onion:

Tesla misses on everything, shares surge.

Isn't Pink passable? Can't you exit via the Pink on the right side?
I don't know, is there a rule that says how you exit? And I don't completely understand the tile rules... but...

So you start from the third down.
Move down, right, right, right. You now smell like oranges. Up, you smell like lemons instead and slide up again, then stop because you can't go into yellow. Right x3, down, and right. Solved?

[Putnam]

You start third from the top, very left. There is no way to exit that tetromino of 3 pink and one green tile.

Anyway, it's fully working now and generates correctly almost every time, if not every time.

Shoot, I missed one yellow tile. >.> I didn't see it in the third column, I had assumed everyone was talking about the one in the 8th column.

In what direction are you going?

[Orange Wizard]

Left to right, presumably.

[Sergarr]

Probably not the only one

I'll never actually play the game, ferex. Probably watch a LP, eventually, but everything I've heard about it so far points to it being a well constructed conflux of gaming elements I mostly detest experiencing :V

godDAMN you've just put into words EXACTLY what I was thinking about

are you psychic

Edited for the full story, because I'm still incredibly pissed and need to vent.

So I just nearly got robbed at gunpoint by a duo of drug dealers who apparently got angry when I refused to buy drugs from them. I gunned it, drove a good 9-10 blocks, and parked. I took the time to call the Paterson, NJ police - waited 20+ minutes for them to show up - and then the shit hit the fan. Despite showing him my security ID, seeing that I'm in a bulletproof vest, and obviously not from the area - as they had most likely already run my plates, something that should have been calm and orderly became a frustrating process.

The officer-on-site to dismisses me as I'm effectively handing him an easy arrest, accuses me of lying about getting lost, accuses me of being there to buy drugs because I'm a white guy in a nice car stuck in a shitty primarily-black area, was a complete bag of douche to me, cut me off when I was giving him the description of the two guys and their location, and pretty much made me remember why people are hesitant to call the police anymore. :| He hushed up a bit when his superior officer showed up, but kept his snarky attitude and kept cutting me off.

I offered to follow them to the local PD and submit to a drug test and breathalyzer test if that makes them feel more secure, offered my license and registration, but his superior dismissed it, pulled the officer-on-site over to the side, and when the guy came back he stopped bothering me.

Sad part is, I'll soon be in law enforcement myself, preferably the FBI if I eventually fulfill the necessary qualifications, and I've gained a reputation for helping local police numerous times. I try to do the right thing and get treated like crap for it... I'm from Newark, NJ - if I wanted drugs all I have to do is drive across McCarter Highway and ask one of the billion guys standing on street corners. And if I was doing something illegal I would have just driven away - I wouldn't have taken the time to contact the police, give them my name and cell #, wait for them to take their sweet-ass time showing up, do my best to describe what happened, and kindly and calmly answer all their snarky questions - despite the harassment. As much as I could have made a scene and smacked him with my knowledge of the law, taken down his badge number and filed a complaint, I let him have the upper hand to avoid being ordered out of my car at gunpoint and have the already-dismal situation grow infinitely worse.

Screw that guy who cut me off on the highway and made me go down the wrong exit, screw the officer-on-site who reverse-racially-profiled me, and screw Paterson, NJ. Officially added to the "Avoid at all costs" list.

One day I want to see the expression on that fuckers face when I drive back into Paterson, in full uniform, and show him just how wrong his profiling could be.

Sounds like great fun.
