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?

Thanks for the quick reply.
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.

Country : India | 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....

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.

Well what exactly is your difficulty in Tapa? 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. |
