    Fifteen puzzle

    None

    The peak of the popularity of tags fell on the last decades of the nineteenth century. Children and adults loved this game, boxes with square knuckles were in every home. Then came the period of half-oblivion, the tag modestly gave way to computer games. Online tagging has given the old game a new lease on life.

    History of the game

    The tag has an author, not many games can boast of this. Two people, Samuel Loyd and Noyes Palmer Chapman, claimed copyright. The game appeared at the beginning of 1880 in the USA, it was written about in the newspapers, but the name of Loyd was never mentioned. On this basis, tag historians have concluded that postmaster Noah Chapman was the creator of the puzzle. An argument in his favor - in 1874, Chapman offered his friends a puzzle in which they had to put sixteen squares with numbers in rows so that the sum in each was 34.

    The postmaster's son brought the puzzle to Anna and James Belden, they made several copies. One copy somehow got to a school for the hearing impaired, where they started handicraft production, and already in 1879, boxes with knuckles were traded in Boston. In the same year, artist Matthias J. Rice began producing The Gem Puzzle.

    The puzzle game became even more popular when a dentist offered a prize for solving it. In 1880, future tags had already conquered Europe, Russia, Australia and New Zealand, but for some reason Chapman was denied a patent. In the United States, the hobby "15" was compared to madness, poems and poems were written about the game, articles and studies were written.

    Interesting Facts

    • In a puzzle made by Mathias Rice (1879), tiles with numbers had to be added in random order and then moved in ascending order. In another version, all the tiles were in order, it was only necessary to swap the tiles with the numbers "14" and "15". This turned out to be the most difficult - it was possible to solve the problem only in half of the cases.
    • Modern tags are more diverse than their ancestors. In addition to the classic options with numbers, there are puzzles in which you need to restore pictures or add words.
    • The most difficult version of the tag is the magic square, in which you have to line up rows of numbers with the same amount.

    Fifteen is not as simple as it might seem. You will understand this when you try to solve the puzzle. Test your intelligence with online taggers!

    How to play 15 puzzle

    None

    The game of tags has been known to most since school years. Probably everyone was holding a box with plastic tiles in their hands and trying to solve the puzzle. Now you can play online tagging, an addicting puzzle game is always at your service.

    Rules of the game

    The square box contains 15 square tiles of the same size. Each contains numbers from 1 to 15, one field remains empty. You need to move the knuckles horizontally and vertically so that they line up in ascending order, starting from the top row. Move the knuckles one by one to the right, left, up and down. Space for moves is provided by an empty board. The first row starts at 1, the second at 5, the third at 9, and the fourth at 13.

    Game tips

    • The easiest way is to fold the first row. When assembling the second row, try not to destroy the first. The subsequent rows are more difficult, it is recommended to start with knuckles 9 and 13.
    • When tidying up the remaining tiles, distribute 10, 11, and 12.
    • At the finish line 14 and 15 may be in their places, but this is not always the case. If these knuckles are in reverse order, try swapping them. Count how many dice are out of place and how many fields separate them from their intended place. The main secret of the tag is that if the number of "riots" is even, the party can be saved. With an odd number, the problem is unsolvable.

    Play tagging is a good workout for your gyrus. Look for your own approaches and do not despair when you cannot cope with the capricious knuckles 14 and 15. About half of the attempts to put the puzzle together end in failure.
