    Here's another: The Making of Chaos Tiles

    Not as detailed as the VIKTORY II story, but still some good information.

  2. Monckton of Eternity Puzzle Fame! by viking_kiwi · · Score: 1 · on Global Warming Debunker Debunked

    Monckton is the guy who came up with the Eternity Puzzle.

    http://www.mathpuzzle.com/eternity.html/

    He was convinced the puzzle was insoluble and put up a million pounds, which was won a few months later.

    Clearly someone with more money than sense. If his analysis of the eternity puzzle is anything to go by I don't think anyone need take any notice of his gibbered ravings about climate change.

    Took 4 days for word to get to Slashdot, maybe. Mathpuzzle.com reported this 3 days ago.

  6. I too... by mgblst · · Score: 5, Funny · on Periodic Table Table

    am constructing a Periodic Table, and i am just short of a few elemnets, Au and Ag, so if anybody has any spare, can they send them to me. Perferably in an appropriate conatiner, say a large truck.

    Here we can see Theo Gray hard at work.

  7. The Eternity Puzzle and Christopher Monckton by IvyMike · · Score: 5 · on Slashback: Injunction, Waivers, Black Hole

    The puzzle developed by Christopher Monckton is The Eternity Puzzle. (Also check out this unoffical page). Interestingly enough, there was a distributed computing project designed to solve the puzzle, but the effort was suspended after the threat of legal action. And the game in question was boycotted after Monckton urged that the entire population of the United States and Britain should be compulsorily tested for HIV, and that everyone with the virus should be forcibly quarantined for life.

  8. Re:Some ideas. by SimJockey · · Score: 2 · on Geek Christmas Ideas

    Actually it's the Eternity puzzle. I bought it when I was in London recently. Without a doubt it is the most mind-bendingly difficult puzzle I have ever seen. Not that that's a bad thing. :)

    Here is the best reference I have found on some mathematical attempts to solve it.

    Personally, with the little bit of math background I have it looks like it may be unsolvable. But it is fun to try.
