Nested is way better than Cookie Clicker because unlike the latter it won't RUIN MY FUCKING LIFE

my neighbor made this -- i think it's really beautiful:

^^ this is fantastic

i'm up to 14/40 challenges

got all of triangle, hexagon, circle pack 2, working on beating square in under 12/8 moves and circle pack 3

pretty cool

done the two circles in origin circle but the bastard won't give me it, what am i doing wrong?

How did you draw your left hand inner circle? I can't see a centre point?

there's a point there, just not an original anchor. its the intersection of the middle inner circle and the large lower right circle.

it's actually my solution to part one of the puzzle so the geometry must be ok, and the anchor point is in the middle... new screenshot with all points:

got the same problem with circle pack 7, i think it doesn't give you the second challenge if you solve both of them in one go.

it does, or at least it did on other ones for me

i ripped thru a dozen of these pretty quickly but i got hung up on getting the square in 8, which seems like i should be really simple. i got 9 a couple different ways, so i wondered if i was missing a trick.

I can do it 9 clicks but it only counted 8. either implied line points don't count as actual moves (hint hint) or it felt bad for not giving me the ones above.

d'oh just noticed the move counter at the bottom, yep connecting up implied points isn't a move.

oh my god my lunch break how did this happen i am hungry & angry at math

this is kinda what I study for a living so this is basically the best video game ever

i love this

is there any way to reset the whole game and start again? i wanna approach it more elegantly after my initial faffing about this morning.

clear yr cookies i presume

no way i'm ever getting pentagon without cheating.

yeah i figured clear my cookies i'm just lazy

ok, square in 8 is impossible.

ledge you are a liar

it looks like it's not in your origin circle. i think the origin circle can only be one of the initial circles created with the bold origin points in the center, not the larger outer circle. here's my solution: http://i.imgur.com/3iTnFLU.png SPOIERLS

but mine is in eight moves, not five

these were solved around 2300 years ago.

seems to me like it's 4 moves just to draw the square, so you only have 4 to get the vertices in place

exactly!

i am baffled by the square

i have mastered the square

hint:

simple subtraction

dodecagon: a lot easier once you realize it's not supposed to be a decagon

Z S is a liar

hint:

go the distance

can't figure out if you are bad at giving good hints or good at giving bad ones

lol it's a little of both. i am terrible at this game.

square in 8 hint above helped me...

implied line points don't count as actual moves (hint hint)

felt like a dope once i finally got it.

ugh so many liars

Are you trying to get it in the origin circle in your 8-move play? You don't have to.

no, i was just trying to make a regular impossible square

I don't understand how to do anything in this thing

walkthrough

what is an implied point?

When you draw a line between two intersections/points, you can draw another line that "continues" that line. This second line does not count as a move if it does not connect to another intersection or point.

So if you go circle-circle to start, then you draw a horizontal line between their centres, that's a third move, but if you draw another line continuing that line further left or right, it isn't a move. These "implied" lines are represented by instead of connecting to a point (circle), they kinda connect to a "dash" (line).

Make sense?

ah, gotcha. thanks!

it looks like it's not in your origin circle. i think the origin circle can only be one of the initial circles created with the bold origin points in the center, not the larger outer circle

yes! ok, onwards.

circle pack 3 in origin circle is killing me

just got the inscribed square in 9, think i know how to get it down to 8

i spent about 20 minutes on it at lunch yesterday and then forgot about it until i thought of it at halftime during the nfl game last night and i pulled it up, did it first try. lol @ me

39/40, can't get circle pack 4 in under 13 moves. cheated on pentagon of course.

no cheats til breakdown
