The evil wizard MoldeVort has been trying to kill you for years, and today it looks like hes going to succeed. But your friends are on their way, and if you can survive until they arrive, they should be able to help stop him. Can you keep MoldeVort trapped long enough for help to arrive? Dan Finkel shows how. Lesson by Dan Finkel, directed by Artrake Studio. RecycleBycicleTwice: I feel like the rules of the puzzle could have been made more clear. It was implied that euclidean distance was used and that the same number can be picked more than once, but it was not obvious from the rules summary. Still, great puzzle as always

let's give it a shot.
the goal is to keep him out of the center of the board where he can just pick a number higher than 3, so. I don't think you can pick anything but 1, 2, 3, 4 since he'd just instantly pick 5 and win.
From there I think it's just about always keeping him on the borders. Any time he picks 4, just jump him to the opposite border. When he picks 1 through 3 there's almost always moves you can make along the border that leave you with 1-3 to move safely enough.
The worst case scenario I can think of is if he picks 2, 3, 4 in that order. Because you'd need to move him to the center of a border, then you'd need to move him into an inner ring, and then 4 is a victory.
If this solution is gonna be you can pick 0 or actually you don't need to move in a straight line i'm gonna frown lightly at it
edit: i am frowning lightly at it

This riddle literally doesn't even make sense. You can not move a diagonal 5 on a 5x5 chess board. When you move diagonal you have to stay on the same color squares, you are just moving the distance of 5 squares which is not how chess moves are done.

Them: Use the Pythagoreans Therom to help.
Me: Already down the hallway and past a corner running like theres no tomorrow.
Also me: Trying to find something to destroy the chessboard and Moldevort.

Moldevorts face looks like a rotten cabbage in the back trying to be in the annoying orange cast, but got thrown into an acid pit, then turned sentient and got stuck in a toilet and vomited on.

With this solution, correct me if Im wrong, but couldnt Moldevort use 1, 5 and then get out? Because he chooses which values. Maybe I didnt understand the rules properly

Assuming that this kid with a lightning bolt scar is a parody of Harry, they should have green eyes. Therefore, they can ask Voldemort if they can leave.

Moldevort name is stolen and changed a bit from 'the one whos name is not said (voldemort)
Anyone else a harry potter fan? Ok just me I guesss

reply

My strategy:
1 person keep throwing the chess board when MoldeVort breaks out
While the other go to find the Muggle Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947
