I kept making one stupid mistake after the other (9x6 and such). But in the end there was only one unique solution

Please keep in mind, that missing V and X has a meaning: the sum of the two numbers is not 5 or 10,

Yes, all puzzles on puzzlemix have a single solution - thanks everyone above for explaining how this puzzle works! No X or V means squares do NOT sum to 10 or 5.

If you keep repeating it, it doesn't get less wrong.

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'.
