Welcome to Facebook's Public Thrift Puzzle Server. You are welcome
to use this server to test solutions to any of Facebook's Thrift puzzles.
Check out the puzzle
descriptions for the full game rules of each puzzle.
- Click on a puzzle to read the full game rules regarding client behavior
and how to win.
- All Thrift puzzles will require your client to call the
registerClient(1:string email) API as the very first thing it
does.
- When your client is in a win-ready state and calls the
string winGame() API, the Thrift server will return a string
containing a hash code. Save this string for your use!
- Send an email to puzzles@facebook.com from the address
you called registerClient(1:string email) with, set the
subject line to the exact string provided by
string winGame(), and attach your code to
complete the process and receive puzzle credit!
- If a server status is red, indicating the service is down, try clicking on the reset link. If that does not work, try posting on the Puzzle Master Facebook Page for help. The Puzzle Master will attempt to get everything running as soon as he/she can.
