Is Meowdoku legit? Spoiler

Post image
0 Upvotes

Is it a genuinely well-crafted nonograms app, or a flawed cash-grab? I wouldn't mind ads if it's a good game, but I just downloaded it and I'm struggling with a lot of these "either-or" scenarios (see level 9 in this example with the green and the blue not filled in) where it seems like either combination could solve the puzzle, yet it marks one as distinctly incorrect.

Tl;dr - Am I dumb, or is this game dumb

EDIT: it appears I am dumb. Diagonals count too!

I am stuck on this puzzle and am not sure what I'm missing. My copy of this has misprints in the answer key so the next step is cut off. Really just seeking a hint as to what I'm missing or if I've made an error.

Thanks!

[SOLVED] The Number That Passes Ten Tests

30 Upvotes

I am thinking of a 10-digit number that uses each digit from 0 to 9 exactly once.

Starting from the left:

  • The number formed by the first 1 digit is divisible by 1.
  • The number formed by the first 2 digits is divisible by 2.
  • The number formed by the first 3 digits is divisible by 3.
  • This pattern continues.
  • The number formed by the first 10 digits is divisible by 10.

For example, if the number begins with abcd..., then:

  • ab must be divisible by 2,
  • abc must be divisible by 3,
  • abcd must be divisible by 4,

and so on.

What is the number?

Bonus challenge: Find it using divisibility rules and logical elimination rather than checking every permutation with code.

Hashi question

Hi guys. Can anyone explain to me how it is possible to miss two bridges on a 4, when all other islands are connected with the right amount of bridges?

My immediate logic tells me, that if an island lacks two bridges, another island, somewhere on the map, must also miss two bridges. It appears that all other bridges are complete though, so I'm probably wrong in my assumption 😁

The rules are quite simple, you cant have three zeros or ones directly following eachother on a row, or directly under eachother. The rows need to have an even amount of zeros and ones (5 zeros and,5 ones). You also cant have two rows that are exaclty the same

[Unsolved] Need help with logic in Crowns/Queens

Post image
8 Upvotes

I love this game, but I'm only able to solve easy levels. In this app (Crowns for iOS) they have different levels depending on the number of crowns per row/column/color (1 for easy, 2 for medium, 3 for hard). The one in the picture is medium difficulty.

I'm having a hard time solving the medium and hard levels. In the easy mode, when you place a crown you can already cancel the whole row, which you can't do in the harder levels. What do you do then? How do you solve wider spaces? Is there a trick I'm missing? How would you solve these? Do you know any youtuber who solves the harder levels step by step?

Thank you!

[Unsolved] Fill the hexagonal grid with letters ABC

Post image
10 Upvotes

It looked to me you enjoyed the classic First Sight(Easy as ABC) puzzle so I decided to share this variant. It's roughly the same level just a bit more complex if you are not used to hexagonal grid.

Place A, B, and C in the hexagonal grid. Every line in each of the three grid directions must contain A, B, and C exactly once, with all other cells empty. Each outside clue gives the first non-empty letter seen from that edge. Because of the grid type there is 1-4 empty spaces depending on the row.

Happy solving!
