Calendar Puzzle "Rhombus"

rawling•3mo ago
Have they made it so impossible dates are impossible, I wonder?
xyzzy_plugh•3mo ago
Doesn't seem like it. Using the interactive board on the website I was able to produce a solution that only revealed numbers.
peterpuzzle•3mo ago
Creator here. No, you can arrange the puzzle pieces to make dates that don't exist, like Monday February 31. Actually there may be "impossible" dates, because I didn't check for them, but I guess all combinations of days of the week, day of the month and month are possible. And also many non-dates, like 1, 2, 3. But good point: alle possible dates have at least 1 solution. Disclaimer: I sell these puzzles for a little more than the raw material.
seanhunter•3mo ago
Looks like a really nice puzzle. Congrats.
legedemon•3mo ago
Great puzzle. Do you ship internationally?
yapyap•3mo ago
not OP but yes
slig•3mo ago
So nice! Do you create them entirely algorithmically, or do you use the solver just to verify that every date is possible?
peterpuzzle•3mo ago
I wrote 2 solvers in Python. One that loops through all possible dates and searches for a solution. And one that loops through all solutions and checks if they form a date or not. And luckily both gave the same answers.
drivebyhooting•3mo ago
How did you select the piece shapes to ensure there was always a solution?
peterpuzzle•3mo ago
Actually I tried a lot of different combinations of piece shapes to find the "hardest" set of pieces that can still solve all possible dates. "Hard" is subjective, but I mean pieces with multiple protrusions.
zvr•3mo ago
I have the "A Puzzle A Day" https://www.dragonfjord.com/product/a-puzzle-a-day/ since a few years and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

All dates are possible and most (all?) have multiple solutions.

spencerflem•3mo ago
Was just about to link to this one!
peterpuzzle•3mo ago
Creator here. That puzzle started my search into this type of puzzle. But in the end my puzzle is harder, because it also contains the day of the week and has the most "irregular" puzzle pieces possible.
Y_Y•3mo ago
Those particular rhombuses are typically known as "squares"
dfee•3mo ago
I thought the same thing, but it seems that certain dates would make it so there is one square ("rhombus") and one (non-square) rectangle (e.g. Feb 15).

So rather than 3 rhombuses – or 3 squares – perhaps it's 3 squares of 1 square and 1 rectangle. (Perhaps the positions of the puzzle pieces make it such that it truly is 3 squares)!

(and...neat puzzle...nice job, creator!)

peterpuzzle•3mo ago
Creator here. I know, I know, the "rhombuses" are just rotated "squares", but I already had a calendar puzzle "Square", so that's why.
ky_vulnerable•3mo ago
That's really creative. Did the creator come up with the design himself?
peterpuzzle•3mo ago
Creator here. Yes I did. Used some existing puzzles as inspiration. See https://praxispuzzles.com/calendar_puzzle_square
seszett•3mo ago
Nice, but it's only available in English sadly, there's a link that says "see kalenderpuzzel "Ruit" for the Dutch version" (I'd prefer French but Dutch would do as well) but that page says "De maanden en dagen van de week zijn in het Engels".

The "square" one is in Dutch but sold out and the Rotterdam one in English only.

But I like that idea, apparently it's not the first puzzle of this kind but I didn't know about them.

peterpuzzle•3mo ago
Creator here. If there is enough demand I can make a French version. Ordering a new batch of lasercut wood cost me $20, so I have a minimum batch size of 20.
nonethewiser•3mo ago
Seems pretty hard! Even the easy example.
peterpuzzle•3mo ago
Creator here. I sometimes advise people not to focus on today's date, but a date in the following week. Then you have more time to find a solution!
