Sliding puzzle

A sliding puzzle, sliding block puzzle, or sliding tile puzzle is a combination puzzle that challenges a player to slide pieces along certain routes to establish a certain end-configuration. The pieces to be moved may consist of simple shapes, or they may be imprinted with colours, patterns, sections of a larger picture, numbers, or letters.

Group theory
As a famous example of the sliding puzzle, it can be proved that the 15 puzzle can be represented by the alternating group A_{15}, because the combinations of the 15 puzzle can be generated by 3-cycles. In fact, any n \times m sliding puzzle with square tiles of equal size can be represented by A_{n m - 1}. ==Gallery==
