You can move the matchsticks anywhere right?
If so I've done it in about 2 minutes.
Interesting day...

Either you're really smart, or then you didn't read the instructions carefully enough. 
You can move them wherever you want, but they will be part of the picture even if you move them a million miles away from the original thing. In other words you can't remove them. And like I said, no leftover-sticks or incomplete squares allowed, so in reality you can't really move them just "anywhere".
Also remember that all the squares have to touch each other either from the side or from the corner...

Yeah I moved them and they're still part of the picture. I'll PM you my answer in about 10 minutes after I've drawn and uploaded it and you can tell me if I'm right.

update: brothomstates FINNISH "TOUR"
Well I don't know about that puzzle thing.
It's 3 in the morning and I got mud for brains.
... But I wanted to say that Lassi's coming to Tampere as well in official business the 6th of this month, i.e. Friday May 6 @ Tullikamari Klubi.
It's apparently the whole "Swaeg 10" line-up, with Blamstrain etc. - apparently much the same as in Helsinki a while back.
This means it's right where I'm at, and I'm DEFINITELY right there, with all my friends.
I guess there's no one coming from these boards to that event? If someone is, you can always contact me by e-mail.
But this is pretty exciting for me, none of that Helsinki-only special delivery service this time...
Ok, thanks, bye, I'll tell you how it goes - esp. Kvagga, so I can relate it to your experience.

III - it's correct. If you really got it in two minutes, that's very impressive. Congrats to Aimee too.
Kansler, you're up for a real treat then. I won't be coming up to Tampere, since I've had my fair share of partying lately (for example yesterday, what with it being vappu-aatto and all 
) and now I seriously gotta start concentrating on studying for the uni-entrance exams... Also, Tampere is pretty damn far away and like you know, I had one perfect IDM night already. But yeah, tell us how it goes. I'm sure relating to my experiences won't be difficult.
BTW, I like the Underworld touch that the flyer has to it: http://www.swaeg.tk/

I think a lot of us here feel that way. It's one of the things that brings us 'all together' IMO.
Besides, in truth so far most cool things in your books I've taken a liking to as well. You have superb taste in music!!!!
Now your taste in friends........ Well.?.?

update: Swaeg 10 @ Tampere
wheee... 
It's 4 AM, I'm waiting for a bus at my university's computer class, and I just came from a 7-hour mayhem (!) of IDM/bleeptechno/ambient/dnb/hardhouse...
I better report what kind of an atmosphere Brothomstates &co created tonight for a crowd of a few hundred people. (Definitely not overcrowded at any rate!)
(/me takes a deep breath)
Okay, so me and my pals arrived at the place around 8 pm, when some chilled out DJs were warming the place up... We thought it was gonna be pretty quiet, since it wasn't until after 10 that more than a couple of dozen people were on the scene.
Well, the crowd gathered up pretty neatly, just as the beat turned perhaps weightier and more beat-oriented. Notable appearances in the DJ sets were Autechre's Eggshell and Orbital's Easy Serv.
This gave way for the first live act: A local techno-experimentalist by the name of Oreia. This was real nice, including a neat C64 medley and lots of impressive melody hooks. I recommend checking his website:
http://www.mikseri.net/artistit/?id=27782 (Oreia)
Then I have a blur in my head. This must be 11 pm now; more djing, more bouncy idm sounds interlaced with latino house (!)...
I honestly don't have any idea when and if Blamstrain or Toiminto2 made an appearance. People were interacting up there like they were all part of the same posse - as I guess they were.
Anyway, around 12.15 (I think - time is a vague concept!) Brothomstates enters... Now, I should say I've seen him once (@ Koneisto in summer 2003), and that was a relatively short ambient textured set.
But this time it turned out very different, very strange...
kvagga: If in Helsinki it was anything like what it was tonight, I can understand why you felt a bit confused. Honestly, there was nothing expect my faint memory of his face that told me this was Lassi Nikko in fact performing! Totally an oddball set.
(so, just to clarify, you'll know Brothomstates as short, blond-haired, maybe with a deep-rimmed fisherman's hat, often smoking [something!])
First of all, there's some guy with a "Suomi" T-Shirt up there as well, and it's Nikko and him as a "dynamic duo" with laptops. Plus, there's some guy with a mic and a long hair, occasionally kinda doing vocals on top of the music, ragga-style.
But the music! If the last time I saw him there were too few beats, this time there was no fear. In fact, it was beat-oriented to a degree that I could never have expected, knowing Nikko's main releases Claro (LP) and Qtio (EP) - which everybody should own, by the way!! ("Kobn-Tich-Ey" LP is available for free at his website as mp3!)
Yea, so it was actually a HARD HOUSE set! w000000t????!! yes!
It was a 2-hours-and-friggin-30-minutes (or so) progrssively developing hard-house set!
Ach, and the beats, the beats: a nearly constant pounding four-to-the-floor tempo, with slowly enveloping melodies faintly in the background. There were to be no recognizable tracks, nothing what so ever... Just 10-minute beatstorming mania "tracks", which blended into one another in one mega symphony of hyper-snappy rhythms and beats.
Yea, so it was definitely both exciting and disappointing at the same time. Disappointing, since I would've preferred more IDM-oriented beats (although there were at least half-a-dozen tracks with those as well), but also exhilirating, since it was perhaps the BEST HARDHOUSE SET ever!! Especially when at times it broke down into hyper-complex IDM-structures. Those were precious moments.
I mean, Lassi Nikko's a dangerous guy.
He can surprise you live, as he did me. But boy can he (and I have to congratulate the whole Swaeg team) mutate songs on the fly and actually make them sound "LIVE" for real...
so, I had fun (as, I hope, did kvagga too).
But now I must catch my bus! Bye.

Sounds very similar. Glad to hear you had fun too.
But yeah, when the live bands came up the place suddenly filled up. There was something like 200 people as well, but since smökki is so small, it was pretty much full (as in the minute you went to the bathroom, someone stole your seat ).
It was impossible for me to tell when and who was playing.
Indeed the best hardhouse set ever, but that would've been the last band I would've expected to be him. I think that we got treated to a rocking techno/IDM-encore set by him and some other guy too. The guy can seriously switch between genres and make any of them sound good. Maybe next time we'll hear him do some amazing happy hardcore.
The "encore" set we got ended in them just suddenly pitching the song up to insane undancable bpm's, which sure was fun.
Glad to hear you had fun too.Same thing here. For about an hour me and my friend were actually the only ones in smökki and we got a pretty much private DJ-set, which was really good too.Okay, so me and my pals arrived at the place around 8 pm, when some chilled out DJs were warming the place up...

haha, that was a longwinded post from me...
kvagga, yea, me and my friend were speechless after we realized it was gonna be a thumpin' set. Like I said, at Koneisto nikko was doing a strictly ambient set.
... But I was looking at the warp site, and there's apparently some two-track 2000 release ("Arc04") by Brothomstates, with audio clips online, which sort of points to a more house-oriented approach. They say it's "an enormous slice of floor-shaking electronic house" - that's pretty much what sums up our recent experience, yea? :
But seriously, I reckon you should get your hands on "Qtio EP" and his LP "Claro" - that's some killer IDM, definitely nothing like the dancefloor stuff he's been doing live recently. (You should be able to get those in regular record stores in Helsinki or wherever.)
That's some killer electro, man...

I might very well get them. Overall, I should really visit the record stores in Helsinki more often. I usually just go to the very nearby Tapiola Stockmann which has your basic Prodge, Chems and Orbital albums (and a bunch of ScooterBut seriously, I reckon you should get your hands on "Qtio EP" and his LP "Claro" - that's some killer IDM, definitely nothing like the dancefloor stuff he's been doing live recently.

), and if I'm lucky maybe an Aphex Twin CD, but that's about it... BTW, is anyone trying to solve that puzzle anymore or should I post the right answer? Or does anyone even want it?
