The Nigel Jones Puzzle

A javascript puzzle program by Nigel Jones.

This page is for repressive politicians, evil cones and rival cycling software houses or anyone who ever wanted to rearrange my face! When I was a kid I had a plastic puzzle similar to this but sporting a picture of a bicycle instead of the picture of my face that you can see below. This is my on line version of an old but good game ;-)

The Nigel Jones Puzzle

Click on graphics to re-arrange Nigel's face!

The puzzle consists of 15 square pieces of Nigel Jones face arranged in a 4 x 4 matrix leaving one empty square to slide adjacent pieces into (the grey square). To move the pieces, and rearrange the face of this well known cyclist, programmer and registered voter, click on any square that is directly above, below, left or to the right of the empty (grey) square. Nigel can complete the puzzle by making 78 moves in 46 seconds - Can you do better? The clock starts ticking when you click on the first puzzle piece or click the "Rearrange Nigels Face" button to randomise the puzzle pieces.
