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?

3 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
3 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!

This is star battle go. There needs to be two stars in every row, column, and box. The stars cannot touch, even diagonally.

I cannot find the next logical place to put a star or x without just guessing and trying to solve. Help!!

Post image

Squiggly line: relation/association

Double line: equal/synonym

+: add words together to form a phrase

(and I forgot to add this but word #4 is plural)

I liked making this one and will probably make more in the future, so criticism is appreciated✌️

[Unsolved] Help me get just one block out!

Post image
0 Upvotes

I waste way too much time on this game, as you may notice by the level number.

Occasionally I can't figure out how to get a block out. I usually end up watching an ad to smash a block and move on. But I would much rather learn how to get a block out so I can get better at it, get bored, and break the addiction.

So here's an example. I can't even figure out how to get a single block out of this one. Can someone explain how to get one out?
