The duplex-dilemma tile-puzzle ☕
The tile-puzzles were one of the first interactive puzzles in the clickmazes collection and over the years I've continued to explore different tile-sets. In 2019 I stumbled on two sets of eleven tiles that are all but identical but have quite distinct solutions. The two tile-sets differ by one tile only and that one tile is the mirror image of itself (see illustration below).

A solver program later suggested that the two solutions are both unique. So can you find both solutions? Launch the applet below (using the applet-runner plugin) to explore further. Once you've selected your challenge the eleven tiles will appear in the main window. Click to drag and align the tiles, double-click to rotate. There is no way of saving progress and no win-detection so I recommend you take a screenshot to record your findings.
