Posts: 5 Country : United States | Yokipi posted @ 2012-06-01 8:35 PM Sorry, a bit of a semantics clarification question... Instruction Booklet - Masyu: "and it may not visit all cells" Does this imply that a solution cannot visit all cells, or simply that it is not a requirement that all cells must be visited?Edited by Yokipi 2012-06-01 8:36 PM |

Posts: 542 ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : India | rajeshk posted @ 2012-06-02 11:00 PM Just one clarification. I hope Coded TomTom follows instructions of previous TomTom puzzle which says that Place digits from 1 to N where is the size of the grid. In the coded TomTom examples digits from 1-5 (N=5) are not placed. I am hoping that this is just an example. In the actual puzzle we have to put numbers from 1 to N? |

Posts: 5 Country : United States | Yokipi posted @ 2012-06-03 12:43 AM Another somewhat trivial clarification question... For Kakuro, "Digits must not repeat within any sum." if the column/row clue is blank (i.e. there is no sum), does the rule still hold? |

Then can 0 be part of the numbers. e.g. if 2 is given as hint. Can this be formed as 2+0? Edited by rajeshk 2012-06-03 8:34 AM |

Then can 0 be part of the numbers. e.g. if 2 is given as hint. Can this be formed as 2+0? Yes. If the rules are written independently, here is how it will be - All the digits from 0-9 have been replaced with the letters A to J with each letter representing a unique digit. Place a single digit from the set A, B, C, D, E, and F with A < B < C < D < E < F into each cell so that no digit repeats in any row or column. The value in the upper-left of each bold region indicates the result after some mathematical operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) is applied to the numbers in that region. Numbers can repeat in a region provided they do not repeat in any row or column. Zero cannot be the first digit of a multi-digit number. |

Posts: 45 ![]() ![]() Country : India | adityasaraf007 posted @ 2012-06-03 1:26 PM A quick query.... In TomTom, can there be more than 1 mathematical operation in a particular region....For eg. in Puzzle J1 of Instruction Booklet.... the Bottom Right Corner covers 3 cells and the resultant figure is 4.... Can it be construed as: 4 = (2 * 1) + 2 instead of 4 = 2 * 1 * 2..... And if someone could explain Inside Skyscraper to me.... It went above my head.... Edited by adityasaraf007 2012-06-03 1:29 PM |

The inside skyscraper is a bi-directional view. that is, if you are standing in any of the cells, in one direction you can view say X skyscrapers, and in the opposite direction you can view Y number of skyscrapers. the sum of X and Y is the number clue given.

Basically, taking a 3x3 group of cells, there are 8 cells around a cell, as long as its not an edge/corner. A clue says how many of the 8 cells around it have to be colored in. |
