Signal and Noise

This game contains 64 double sided coins placed randomly on a regular chessboard. Each side of the coins has a letter representing either the Signal, or the Noise. Signal = 64 = one letter per coin. Noise = 64 = one letter per coin randomly generated. The Signal is an encoded message leading to a hidden treasure. The Noise adds additional confusion and complexity. The coins are placed in a bag and scrambled. Then, they are placed randomly on a regular chessboard. The task is to flip and move the coins around in order to uncover the original message. However, the number of total permutations are so high that decoding/solving the game seems almost impossible.

If we increased the number of coins to 300, not even the most powerful computer in the world will be able to solve the puzzle.

This game can be played with any number of coins from 10 to 300!
