The Shortest Distance is awesome.
Engineers can craft [item=132518]. Everyone else can buy it from AH.This toy will start a minigame.
- Zoom your camera and play the board game.
- There are dots and each dot has connections with other dots
- You can swap dots positions by clicking on 1 dot and then clicking one more time on another.
- Place dots in such a way that all connecting lines don't cross.
- Lines will become blue when you have the right placement.
- You will get the same amount of dots and lines for each turn every time you play the game.
But initial dots position is random
You can create completly different shapes at the end of each turn with the same dots.
So don't consider my info below as the only acceptable.
It is just one of the options you can use.
Here on turn 15 you can create
And both work just fineYou will start from the very begining if you close the game.
Combat stops the game, so don't try to do it in Shal'aran

I played 2 rounds extra just for fun
Actually i had no idea that there was an achievement. Just played the minigame.Hints:
- Start with 1 dot and move all connected dots close to it.
- Select next connected dot and repeat step 1.
- Start with dots that have less lines. They should be on the outer border
Find dot with 2 lines. and put it on the border.
- For squares this dot should be in the angle
- For circles it is the outer border point
- At some point you can end up with 2-3 dots not fitting.
To solve this you have to look for places that break the pattern.
here look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuVobm_uzig&t=1h39m08s, the border of the circle is wrong in 2 places, so you have to fix itThe last couple of levels are quite challenging.
Extra rounds are insane. you can't see lines, it is just one red mess,
I reached 7-circle round and i couldn't see anything. 6-circle round was also "finding the line".
Some sort of highlighting is definitely needed for the last rounds.

This may be the most infuriating thing I have done in this game in 11 years.
I didn't see anyone else mention this, but if you mouseover the "Blingtron's Circuit Design Tutorial" buff while you are playing it will clearly tell you which level you are on. For example: "Current Stage: 13"
Also, if you quit and open the toy again later (or even immediately) you lose your progress and start from Stage 1.
