Well I 've been playing this certain game where you have to fit tetris pieces into a square grid. But I can't finish it! I made a clone in MS Excel, and I'll put a screenshot. What's hard is.. you can NOT rotate the pieces. They must fit exactly in the grid, as is. Please help me here!! I've been doing that for like, 2-3 hours now and I still can't finish it.:Shouting:

Here's a screenie:

And here's a link to the excel file of the puzzle: http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/3/31/943670/Puzzle.xls

Sorry if I sound too dumb. I just want to solve that puzzle! If you solved it, please take a screenshot of what you did and send it to me or post it here! Thanks!:Smirk:

Remember: YOU CAN NOT ROTATE THE PUZZLE PIECES. And the grid to fit it in is the one bordered. :Grimmace:

eric,
No, I don't have a DS. I have a modded PS2 rotting in my basement with God Of War II in the tray. One of these days I have to stop working so I play!!

As you can see, I'm on a Windows today. Sorry if the Excel file would appear weird. I'm just not used to Windows anymore.:Evil:

Here's the .xls file: http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/3/31/943670/Puzzle 3.xls

I hope you guys can solve that one, I was like solving that for an hour now. It's hard. I'm weak at those kinds of puzzles. I prefer "code breakers".O:)
