I was solving the puzzles of Offline finals Round 3. I managed to solve all except NEWS (I tried the small one only, without success) and the big frameless (which I will need to solve on paper). Overall, very nice puzzles. For me, the best of the lot were the polyword (took a lot of time for solving), creek (elegant solution) and digit battleships (nice play with numbers) - the bigger grid in each case.
I hope someone can help with some baby steps for the small grid of NEWS.
Hi Rakesh,
According to me, you are not thinking :-)
1: Look at the R2C5-R3C4-R3C5 region. It cannot have 'W' and 'N'. So 'E' will be in R2C5 and 'S' in R3C4.
2: Exactly similarly, the R4C3-R5C2-R5C3 region will have 'E' in R4C3 and 'S' in R5C2.
3: The square region with 'W' has to have a 'N' in R2C3.
4: The R3C1-R4C1-R4C2 region cannot have 'E' and 'W'. Hence R3C1 is 'N' and R4C1 is 'S'.
You should be able to complete it now. |
