Are both Battleships going to be Classic? No variant? Both Battleships have same rules. |

Location: India | I thought a 15 minute window is available as per IB, it says for IPC answers will not be accepted after 16.45, referring to previous comments by Prasanna
Pls confirm

Location: United States | Sorry, a bit of a semantics clarification question... Instruction Booklet - Masyu: "and it may not visit all cells" Does this imply that a solution cannot visit all cells, or simply that it is not a requirement that all cells must be visited?

Location: India | Just one clarification.
I hope Coded TomTom follows instructions of previous TomTom puzzle which says that Place digits from 1 to N where is the size of the grid. In the coded TomTom examples digits from 1-5 (N=5) are not placed.
I am hoping that this is just an example. In the actual puzzle we have to put numbers from 1 to N?

Location: United States | Another somewhat trivial clarification question...
For Kakuro, "Digits must not repeat within any sum." if the column/row clue is blank (i.e. there is no sum), does the rule still hold?

Tejal's response is correct. |

Thanks for the quick reply.
Then can 0 be part of the numbers. e.g. if 2 is given as hint. Can this be formed as 2+0?

Yes.
If the rules are written independently, here is how it will be -
All the digits from 0-9 have been replaced with the letters A to J with each letter representing a unique digit. Place a single digit from the set A, B, C, D, E, and F with A < B < C < D < E < F into each cell so that no digit repeats in any row or column. The value in the upper-left of each bold region indicates the result after some mathematical operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) is applied to the numbers in that region. Numbers can repeat in a region provided they do not repeat in any row or column. Zero cannot be the first digit of a multi-digit number.

Location: India | A quick query.... In TomTom, can there be more than 1 mathematical operation in a particular region....For eg. in Puzzle J1 of Instruction Booklet.... the Bottom Right Corner covers 3 cells and the resultant figure is 4.... Can it be construed as: 4 = (2 * 1) + 2 instead of 4 = 2 * 1 * 2..... And if someone could explain Inside Skyscraper to me.... It went above my head....

The inside skyscraper is a bi-directional view. that is, if you are standing in any of the cells, in one direction you can view say X skyscrapers, and in the opposite direction you can view Y number of skyscrapers. the sum of X and Y is the number clue given.

Inside Skyscraper done.... Got the logic... Need to solve the one given in IB....Can you also clear Tapa....
Well what exactly is your difficulty in Tapa? Basically, taking a 3x3 group of cells, there are 8 cells around a cell, as long as its not an edge/corner. A clue says how many of the 8 cells around it have to be colored in. |
