Paint-By-Number: Are the clues in the same order as seen from the given direction? ABC Connection - You don't need to know if all cells have to be used to solve the puzzle Paint-By-Number - Yes, clues are in order. Will change the instruction. |

Posts: 123 Country : India | macherlakumar posted @ 2011-05-30 11:55 AM Hi, In the Queens Park puzzle it is mentioned that "A queen does not block another queen." Then in that case R2C4 = 4 instead of 3, R2C5 = 5 instead of 4 and R4C4 = 3 instead of 2 I think it should rather say "A queen blocks another queen". Please verify this. Thanks Ravi.

Country : India | debmohanty posted @ 2011-05-30 12:01 PM Sorry about that statement "A queen does not block another queen". It is not necessary, and moreover confusing. The correct instruction will read "Place X number of queens into the grid so that none of them stands on a number and each number equals to the number of directions from which the given square is attacked by a queen. A queen attacks to arbitrary distance horizontally, vertically and diagonally. " It is important to note that the number represents number of directions from which it can be attacked. It doesn't represent number of queens that can attack the square. Hope it is clear. |

Posts: 81 Country : India | Tejal Phatak posted @ 2011-05-31 3:51 PM Swaroop, I guess in the IB example, the path starts from the circle and not from the other end. |

Country : India | debmohanty posted @ 2011-05-31 3:54 PM Swaroop, the path starts at R3C1 as Tejal mentioned. Also the boundary wall is missing from the image, if that is your point. Here is the redrawn image Note that in the championship it is not necessary to mark the start or end. If the path correctly is drawn, you will get full points. |

Posts: 81 Country : India | Tejal Phatak posted @ 2011-05-31 6:39 PM Swaroop, in "NEWS"... For W-E, it need not necessarily be in the same row. In a specific region, if you are to place W-E, just make sure W is on the left hand-side and E on the right hand-side. It may or may not be in the same row. Similarly, if you see R2C4 and R3C5, N-S they are not placed in the same column. I hope that answers your doubt. |
