Eternity is a mighty long time, but it's probably how long the makers of Eternity II hope it will take you to solve their fiendishly vexing puzzle. Why? Well for starters this infuriating geometric head-scratcher took yonks to design. Secondly - and more importantly - the first person to solve it wins $2 million. You heard, $2 million!

After doing far too much Sudoku I brought this as "the next level". Be warned because I sat down with this and a glass of wine and it ended up being a bottle or two since it is very addictive. I went to bed and closed my eyes and all I can see is the patterns and combinations!
Sadly no close to solving it but ever onward....

Fiendish!!!!!!
I tried my hand at the original an got nowhere fast. This I thought may be an easier challenge, I think I'm wrong :D
Matching edge after edge it all goes quite well and you think "this will be in the bag" then it hits, no more tiles that match, arrgh, back track and and another dead end. I think it will take a while. :D
Fantastic, well thought out puzzle, I recommended it to puzzle fans, even if you're not going for the grand prize.

OMG! I completed it! but my cat jumped on the table and slid over the board pushing all the pieces off on to the floor!
Needless to say I don't have a cat anymore...and i've forgotten the combination.

Greatly confusing puzzle...had like 6/8 of all the pieces on all connected correctly but then figured out it was impossible to continue...has happened a lot...and I've solved the clue puzzle for the extra piece but I can't tell you cuz thats against the rules!!!
