THERE ARE GREAT NO OF SOLUTIONS. WHY DR TO IMPOSE YOUR SOLUTION. THE BEAUTY OF PUZZLES TO HAVE UNIQUE SOLUTION. SO PLS PUT MORE DATA TO HAVE UNIQUE SOLUTION OR LET YOUR SYSTEM ACCEPT OTHERS

Have just done this one again and I think, armstrong, that you may not be using the inverse rule. i.e. if no 'v' or 'x' then adjacent numbers must NOT add up to 5 or 10. This limits the position of many of the digits. All puzzles are unique, I don't think Gareth makes this sort of mistake!:)

Thanks Elizabeth. Yes, there is in fact only one solution - you just need to read the rules, which say that if there's NO 'x' or 'v' then the numbers DO NOT add up to 5 or 10.

Hi armstrong,
There's only one solution. If there's no 'x' or 'v' then the cells don't sum to 10 or 5.

For any puzzle you can read full instructions by clicking the link at the bottom-right of the player, or 'Instructions' at the top of this page.

Hope this helps!

Gareth, puzzlemix

Key

  • A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
  • Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
  • If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
  • Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
