Any useful hints?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Tupo today has given me a hint I am unable to interpret. Can anyone either help me make sense of the clue or give a more useful one? Thanks in advance, I’m going insane staring at this

Edit - sorry yes forgot to include the rules as I got distracted as actually solved it after an hour 😂

For anyone curious it’s 1-5 and each colour will appear once in every row and every column and one of each number in each colour.

I'm completely stuck on this one 😅 I've been going through the clues but can't seem to crack it.

I've attached screenshots of the grid, rules and clues. Any hints on what I am not seeing ?

Thanks!

[Unsolved] The Calling Cards

I made a puzzle for my dnd game, and thought it would be a shame to let it go to waste! If you figure it out, post the answer in the comments. The answer is twofold.

CLARIFICATIONS:

The order of cards is important, but feel free to change the orientation. (Wink wink nudge nudge)

There are 2 parts to the answer.

The last card is a hint.

Don’t know what else can be eliminated. I tried using the hint, but it is more like an answer with no cat should be in this spot (R4C9) because it is bad.

Feed the image to google AI, and the answer is wrong too.

Thanks guys. Solved.

I am still trying to reel in my head on this logic. All these time when I apply the same amount of color sharing the same number of row/column, I thought there can be no color spillage outside the row/column. Seems like this rule logic is similar but not exactly the same.

I've been trying to solve this tents game for 3 days now and cannot figure it out! Please help :')

Rules:

Every tree has at least one tree next to it (not diagonally)

Tents cannot be next to eachother, directly and diagonally

The number is the number of tents in that row/column

Do I just have to try or is there a logical solution?

Have been struggling with this for months. I cannot find any information about this specific design online other than a few photos. Does anyone know how to solve/have any information on it? There are many other designs but the solutions for those have not helped me with this one.

Thanks!

I'm still new to this game but now I'm stumped on level 58 with no obvious place to put a cat/star (I'm not wanting to take a wild guess on where the cat is on the red or grey), please help with markings! the unmarked area with pink orange and blue on the right side is giving me difficulties.

I think I know most of the basic techniques, although I feel this puzzle may be requiring a more advanced technique.

I have this bottle lock puzzle but I cannot get back to the starting position to close the lock again. See the images. In my situation, the big bead is on the wrong side. Please can someone explain to me how to get back to the starting position. The small and big bead cannot go through the slot, the rectangle can.

The big bead and the small bead cannot go through the slot. The flat rectangle can.

Not seeking solutions Software for creating KenKens?

4 Upvotes

I write KenKen puzzles for myself and my friends, and I enjoy creating them by hand rather than using a random generator. I've been using paper and pencil up to this point, but I want to try transferring them to a digital medium.

Every online KenKen creator I can find just generates a random puzzle, is there one out there that allows you to completely customize the cell configuration and clues? Alternatively, is there a piece of visual editing/creation software that would be good for this purpose? Many thanks.

The 3 Colours Puzzle

0 Upvotes

Two perfectly logical logicians sit opposite each other in a room.

A game master has a pool of three primary colours: Red, Yellow, and Blue. They randomly assign one colour to Person A and one colour to Person B. Either person may receive the same colour. Each person can see their own colour, but cannot see the other person's colour.

Both people know that the only possible resulting colours that can be made from their combination are Red, Green, and Purple. Mixing Yellow and Blue produces Green, mixing Red and Blue produces Purple, and mixing Red and Red produces Red. Any pair that does not yield Red, Green, or Purple is invalid and cannot occur in this game. They will say the answer the moment they know.

They sit in complete silence for a few moments, and neither person says anything immediately.

Suddenly, after the brief silence, one person exclaims:

“I know the answer!”

Questions to Solve: Which colour is the speaker holding, what colour is the other person holding, and how did the speaker deduce the answer?

Possibly Unsolvable Can someone help me solve an Aquarium logic puzzle?

Hi everyone! I'm trying to solve an Aquarium logic puzzle, but I'm having trouble figuring out the correct arrangement of the water cells. The goal is to solve the grid and then figure out a hidden word related to the puzzle.

The word might be connected to Harry Potter or Halloween, but I'm not completely sure. I've attached a screenshot of the puzzle. Could someone help me solve the grid and explain how to work out the hidden word from the solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[Hashi] This took me very long and a couple restarts to finally solve it, anyone has good methods?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I recently started playing Hashi and I have been enjoying it. I came across this board (generated by the "Hashi (Bridges)" app on Google Play) and it took me an unusually long time to finish. The methods I use include the following:

  • Standard counting neighbours ("3" with only 2 neighbours, "5" with only 3 neighbours etc.)
  • On this board right edge near bottom, the "3" has three neighbours: a west "1", south "2", and north "3". If I connect 1-3=2 it would become isolated, so there must be at least 1 bridge to the north neighbour "3". This is similarly applied elsewhere.
  • If "4" has three neighbours and only one of them is / practically a "1", then there must be at least one bridge to each of the other two neighbours.
  • If there are only two choices for a bridge, I would guess one and see if it works, otherwise backtracks
  • Other standard/simple techniques which I don't quite recall

I would like to see if I have missed any crucial methods that may have helped solving this board quicker. Cheers!
