At first sight Supuzzle is very simple game, but after several tries I started to think that it is an impossible one. There are three houses which needs electricty, gas and water and your goal is simply supplying them what they need. All you need to do this simple job driving lines from houses to the utulities ensuring that each house is connected to each utulity and no line interrupts the other. Have fun!

Recommended free offer!
It is one of the best offers that I've selected for games.for.bored visitors.
I’ll post a video in 15 minutes…
UGH ive been playing this for hours and I cannot solve, help please =]
The last move is a bit tricky! Don’t think straight… The video is ready, I’m uploading it right now…
SPOILER
———————
Your have two buttons on your mouse! (Maybe more, but for sure not only one!), why are using only one?
———————–
It’s mathematically impossible to solve in a normal 2D plane.
i know, but it has to be possible i guess
Solution of the game
————————-
BE AWARE THAT THE VIDEO BELOW REVEALS THE SOLUTION OF THE GAME! IF YOU WANT TO SOLVE IT ON YOUR OWN PLESE DO NOT WATCH IT, NOR READ THE REST OF THIS ENTRY.
The trick is pressing the right button of your mouse on your last move. Start drawing a normal line to the circle, right click near it, move your mouse to the bottom corner of it and press left button again to continue drawing the line. The game doesn’t give any warnings while the popup screen is open.
It is not a logical puzzle, instead a tricky one, but they didn’t express that the game has a scientific solution.
If you find this video helpfull, a warm comment will be welcomed.
And if you have some time for an additional click please
? ok, what is the solution
?? what do you think about this stupid solution?
thats cheating!!!!!
cheater cheater pumpkin eater
wheres the real solution?
I have a mac though
Hey, i have an iMac too, and it DOES NOT work!!!
Hey, i have an iMac too, and it DOES NOT work!!! and its frustrating me!! i tried t 4 times!!:(:(
I have a mouse with two buttons on it (different mouse) and i have an iMac, also. it works
thats cheating how do u do it without cheating
THATS NOT CHEATING THATS GENIOUS! otherwise it is impossible.
THATS NOT CHEATING THATS GENIOUS! otherwise it is impossible, and if you don’t want to cheat…..why are you on here.?
if u have a mac, hold down control when you click
that is so cool it took me a couple times though u have to go straight through it almost exactly as the video and Crystal is right there is no other way to win
Get to the point in the game where you need to only go through one line to connect the final piece of the puzzel.The trick is pressing the right button of your mouse on your last move. Start drawing a normal line to the circle, right click near it, move your mouse to the bottom corner of it and press left button again to continue drawing the line. The game doesn’t give any warnings while the popup screen is open.
It is not a logical puzzle, instead a tricky one, but they didn’t express that the game has a scientific solution.
dawwgg,
yo.
that game is rigged.
but pretty ill.
I learned from Wikipedia that this is a famous impossible mathematical puzzle!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water%2C_gas%2C_and_electricity
The above links explain the nature of the problem, and why it is impossible to solve the puzzle on a 2d plane.
That is why the only solution is using the right click popup glitch…
that is smart
you stupid retards thought that was cheating
THANKS BOB!!
wait, bob. that doesnt work either….:(
Thank you for posting the solution, I really appreciated it because my entire family was getting super pissed at this game. I kind of feel, however, that the game is deceiving and, at best, bullshit.
i wouldn’t have thought of it myself!!
i’m using windows not mac and it works. annoying game though. i thought it was impossible. apparently it is in real life.
That is absolutly genious! For all u losers who call it cheating you sole it without cheating. and for all you complaining with the imacs, get a pc.
i have a mac but i also have a mouse with two buttons, but it stll doesnt work? y?
bseides, is nto cheeatin is just finhsin thegame.
every one whoo calls it cheating should kiss the mighty jagrafess of the holy hadrojassic maxarodenfoe.
if you know what it is.:D
SWEET! That took me a while to do it though!:)
that is soooo gay
thats some straight nig nag shit to beat it
That is genious!! Me and my friends have been trying to beat this game for the past week and had no luck… It is a pretty annoying game though…
[…] Tip: Remember that you have two buttons on your mouseSolution: Here is video of the solution, http://games.forbored.com/2007/05/supuzz… […]
LOVE YOU
i feel so dumb right now i mean that is seriously just genius u little son of a monkey
haha
finaly someone found out the answer
sweet… but it pisses me off that i spent so much time doing it before
omg i cant do it again
here is the solution - note its not impossible….
http://www.jimloy.com/puzz/puzzle2.htm
well thx for the “solution” , acctualy you can right click and “fly” over the houses. so you just make straight lines over every house. Enjoy
Jim, the link you gave is all about the proof that this puzzle is impossible…
If you look at the colored graph, there are no connections between X and C.
“Well, our sixth point C will be in one of these three regions. And it is now easy to see that no matter which region C is in, there is one point (X, Y, or Z) that you can’t draw a path to (the one point that is not in that region).”
So the problem is impossible.”
OMG! I can’t figure this out! I have no clue what the heck the direction are trying to say! Wow! Are you serious!
Ha, that’s just silly!
grrrrrrrrrrrrr88 shear genuisssss
Than you!
IF U HAVE A MAC, STOP COMPLAIGNING, TO RIGHT CLICK PRESS THE APPLE KEY…..IT MAKE S A RIGHT CLICK JUST LIKE WINDOWS…..then do it
this game sucks and your video doesnt work
Thank you! I was going insane!!
It’s not really cheating cause it says “without crossing any LINES”….. Nothing about crossing the circles or houses. But you can cross over houses too! (Like Sam said)
Finnaly its been like 5 years since that little SON OF DANG puzzle was shown to me by paper, i tried it, and tried, and i quited… but now tks to this game i finnaly found out that the game is simple IMPOSSIBLE… and waisted 5 years of my life… Just kidding, but the sad part is now im gona pull the prank at everybody i know xD
finally ,it took me one week but solved it , realy simple but tricky ,no cheat needed …
want the solution ???
YOU RULE !!!!
oh and for those people who think this is cheating. LOOKING UP SOLUTIONS IS ALSO CHEATING
Ah man, that was wrecking my head something serious! cheers!
WRONG!!!THERE IS A FAIR SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP TRYING!
I got all the lines on, but I didn’t get any ‘You win’ message
forget, it worked now
If you have a mac try this: (to open the Dashboard just press F12) http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=9ooLxhcEkEI
Soruman - thanks! I spent hours trying to solve this thing. Kinda bugs me that it’s a trick, not a math solution. but Thank, at least tonight I’ll get some sleep…
No, I’m sorry, that’s not a solution. That’s a cheat. It’s what’s known as a hack. Using shortcomings in Flash to get around the lack of a solution does not make the problem solved. It just means you had to cheat.
It’s a math problem. There’s no math solution.
yeahh i think it was impossible
cool
THANK YOU. I DIDN’T KNOW HOW THAT GAME WAS SOLVED. BUT THEN I WATS YOU’RE VIDEO AND THEN I PAST THE GAME!!!! THAN YOU. YOU ROCK!!
you guys are stupid its possible
THAT IS FUCKING CHEATING!!!
AHAHA! That’s sneaky! God, I’ve tried forever to do it WITHOUT seeing what the solution was and finally I was like “Screw it!” so I cheated. Cheating, but extremely clever.
this is awsome solution.thanks loads!
It’s not cheating.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water%2C_gas%2C_and_electricity:
“The problem is part of the mathematical field of topological graph theory which studies the embedding of graphs on surfaces. In more formal graph-theoretic terms, the problem asks whether the complete bipartite graph K3,3 is planar. This graph is often referred to as the utility graph in reference to the problem.[1] The graph is equivalent to the circulant graph Ci6(1,3). Kazimierz Kuratowski proved in 1930 that K3,3 is nonplanar, and thus that the problem has no solution. The solution can be adduced as a consequence of the Jordan curve theorem. The complete statement on the planarity of graphs (the Kuratowski reduction theorem) encompasses this result.
But K3,3 is toroidal, which means it can be embedded on the torus. In terms of the three cottage problem this means the problem can be solved by punching a hole through the plane (or the sphere). This changes the topological properties of the surface and using the hole we can connect the three cottages without crossing lines. An equivalent statement is that the graph genus of the utility graph is one, and therefore it cannot be embedded in a surface of genus less than one. A surface of genus one is equivalent to a torus.
One cannot redraw graphs with non-zero genus in the plane without edge intersections. The three cottage problem is a simplified version of a problem that electronic circuit board designers face. When all of the connections on a circuit board are limited to one side of a board, all nonplanar electronic circuits are impossible. If one is allowed to use a third dimension by using wires or connecting to the second side of the board, all electronic circuit paths are possible.”
All the video solution does is “punch a hole through the plane” to solve it, which is the only way possible.
ok this is obviously what the game wanted to do. this is literally impossible on a 2d plain. why would they even bother to put in a “you win” screen if it’s impossible?
that’s not a solution, but it did help
HEY! Wait, the solution is NOT cheating, and apperently there IS a solution.
You see, the goal was NOT to connect each house to each ‘utility’ without touching /anything/ it was to connect each house to each utility without croosing /lines/.
Which means, it it possible. ;D Besides, the game only objected cause it wanted to make it hard.
You can throw out all of you ’scientific’ BS but, hey, don’t you see the ‘you win’ sign? That means it happened, and that means your wrong. Glitch or no glitch, it happened.
… Even if you had to run the electric line through the water tanks. XD (probably not a good idea, eh? )
stupid game. waste of time.
Rimsky went look closer buy cytotec then announced held.
those 3 house should stay without anything i say so……………..en thats the solution
