I'm confused. The article says that, before the recent update, hole 14,758 was impossible. But I made it to hole 28,890 before getting stuck in mid-2016. [0] After the update, I resumed playing, and am currently on hole 31,923.
So either I got a different layout for 14,758, or it's not impossible. And obviously, I've also never encountered a level with endless water. Is it possible that the procedural generation is not identical across all devices?

- Illniyar 9y agoI think it's just that every player has different holes - so your 14758 hole was different the the impossible 14758 hole
- doodpants 9y agoBut I thought that the game was at least intended to have consistent procedural generation across all devices; how else would the author's manual removal of impossible holes work? Or why would certain hole numbers be notorious for being difficult/impossible? All discussion of this game seems based on the assumption of consistency.
- joblessjunkie 9y agoMy reading is that levels were once randomly generated, but the updates ends this. The update provides a fixed series of 10k hand-checked levels for everyone to play, regardless of their existing game state, so your game will end after hole 38,890.
