The 11th Hour Hints

Solution

  • 1 of 6: Once you know the rules of the puzzle (including how you can move from one ball to another), it isn't all that difficult.
  • 2 of 6: It would help if you mapped out all of the paths, and labelled them either one-way or two-way as appropriate.
  • 3 of 6: Basically, you'll need to go through most (but not all) of the one-way paths in order to solve this.
  • 4 of 6: There's a fairly long one-way path that goes up the left side of the table and then turns right across the top.  Try using that as part of the solution.
  • 5 of 6: The full solution follows.
  • 6 of 6: Label the board as follows:

    1 2 3
    4 5 6
    7 8 9

    Start at 6.  Then move to 8, 9, 5, 7, 4, 1, 2, and 3 in that order.
