Pieguy is a person who has made some interesting Chip's Challenge levels. (You can find all of those on his site)

The wrong parity is one of those. I felt like sharing it (with pg's permission), because it's possibly the best trapdoor puzzle I've ever seen. Very hard, but very satisfying to solve. You can do it all with pure logic - there's no need to cheat with programs or anything like that.

This isn't going to the holds board. Just a little challenge, in case someone is interested.

Garg. It's easy to tell when you've screwed up LONG before you do, but...I get the disturbing feeling that the first 5 or so moves are the really important ones.

This is a pretty good puzzle. I'll try to solve it with paper and pencil when I have the time. Does it only have one solution?

Well, yes. That's what the name refers to. Reminds me of the KDD:L13 roach

According to the author, there are 1920. Which means that most of the route is definite, with several decisions here and there. It's probably best to leave most of the choices until the end...

That is a cool puzzle.

I have always considered myself good at trapdoor puzzles. I will renounce this claim...

I solved it now and I believe you are wrong. If you have found out the reason for the name of the hold, still a very intriguing puzzle remains, that would be much less interesting to solve.

It's really hard. For those who played Chips Challenge, it's a little bit like the 105th level (Short circuit), and it was the only level that I didn't complete.
