Four Rivers Strategy PuzzleIn this strategy puzzle, the challenge is to identify identical tiles which can be paired and thus removed. In order to qualify, the corresponding tiles must be able to be connected by a path which changes direction no more than twice with no intervening tiles to block the way. It's a race against the clock. Less than 4 minutes is average. Less than 3 minutes is good and anything under two minutes is exceptional. BTW, my best time ever was 58 seconds. That was after many, many tries and with a lucky starting configuration (lots of adjacent paired tiles). There's also a hint feature if you get stuck. Good luck!Update: 55 seconds was the time to beat by John K., then Jason set a new time of 52 seconds, and now Matt has rung in with a new time of 46 seconds! This record could stand for a long time.
