I'm really reluctant to admit this as a full task just yet, as it is dependent on a complex applet in an external website. Better would be to put a description (which could involve a link to wikipedia) and specific problem to solve in this page. We can always judge for ourselves whether someone's solved the actual problem or just the specific instance of it. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 13:31, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 
Technically I think the complex applet is a complex servlet. FormFrom the link you have changed this to follwingfollowing the external links to Hidato Home Page and then Hidato Daily Adventures will
take one to the same place. In spite of what's said below I've just enjoyed a few mins research there.

::* We still need the samples, the ones from Wikipedia should work.
::* I still don't know anything about the hardness of this and if brute force or elegance is preferred/needed. It seems to me that given the Moore Neighbourhood constraint that puzzles would have to get really quite large before brute force would have any problems (but that's just gut feel). --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 17:58, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_list fo a discussion of implementations. The Mathprog example Rule 3 is such a list. As is Rule 3 in the Mathprog Knights Tour example. Only the definition of adjacency has changed. We could add extra credit if it also solves Numbrix which is a von Neuman Neighbourhood.
