Title: Life #32 S - a Comment: enlarge map, stoned many boxes Date: 2016.12.15 Difficulty: 9.5 (P.Z.) Best moves/pushes: 3089/845 (P.Z.)
This remodel of Přemysl Zíka is *extremely hard*. I have written to Přemysl, and compare "S" remodeled with Picokosmos #17: Hi Přemek!
Incredible! I think that is the solution more complicated that I have seen never... The solution remember to Picokosmos #17 of Aymeric du Peloux. The number of moves/pushes in both levels is similar. However, I think that the solution of "S" is much more complicated than the Picokosmos #17 !!!

Hello Jordi,
I guess you're right:
Picokosmos #17 of Aymeric du Peloux: There is only one problem: after a while you can find the key
"S" remodeled:
There are several problems that need to combine
1) box 1 - simple
2) box 2, 3 - very difficult: it must needed to be very patient and boxes in the right must be in the legal location (this took me - and third step - a very long - about 3 days, before I came to it)
3) box 4, 5 - before finally placed, they must make big maneuvers while retaining solvability (in the right)
4) only now is the position comparable to Aymeric du Peloux: Now It just need to find a system
A maze is a structure without rooms (with regard to the concept of "room", see the explanation in "Sokoban lessons. Three boxes - with rooms"). In some cases, I also include puzzles with rooms, but only if these are equivalent to less than 8 % of the size of the puzzle. This criterion excludes puzzles that probably can be considered also mazes, but I have not found another criterion better.
With some exceptions, I do not include small puzzles (3, 4 boxes...).

In the initial position, placed boxes and not placed boxes, draw a double "BigDipper" (the seven stars more visible of the Ursa Major). The goals area is theChinese number seven, 七 (by the 7 stars). The interior walls are the Chinesecharacters - though slightly deformed - 北斗 (above) and 星 (below), so thattogether with the character 七 (goals area) they form the word 北斗七星 ("BigDipper").

The goal of this maze is to solve it in 2016 moves.
As in other Sokoban lessons, in this selection of puzzles of seven boxes (with rooms), I tried to choose levels fun to solve, and that the most of authors will be represented.
An author highlights in a special way: Evgeny Grigoriev (GRIGoRusha). All its levels of seven boxes are excellent, small jewels.

Incredible miniature "six+"! Obviously, the biggest problem is to place the box in D4 - and then build the "six". To do this, you must keep open the puzzle, to be able to turn around. The problem is: where to place the 6 remaining boxes?
