Posts: 170 Country : Germany | rob posted @ 2011-05-30 6:26 PM RJH0723: Let me know if this is not detailed enough. 1. Consider the 4 in the last column, and the 2 in the second to last column. Note that the 2's area can't escape to the bottom left, and deduce that there's not enough space for the 2 and 4 to be in separate areas. 2. Consider the 2 in the first row, and note that its area can't reach row four, so it needs to connect to one of the given 1s. |

Nonconsecutive with all evens was cool, Incomplete Sums and Which Digit is Missing both had great presentation and were good puzzles in themselves, Draw a Jigsaw was really nice, etc. Definitely a hard but fun and satisfying set of puzzles! |

Posts: 17 Country : United Kingdom | Gareth posted @ 2011-05-31 4:33 AM I really enjoyed the non-consecutive in particular - a very satisfying "aha" moment when I realised how it worked. These moments are always best, I find, when they take more than a few seconds to arrive but less than a few minutes, and this puzzle had it just right. :) |
