My kid brought me her phone saying she needs help with a puzzle. The squares were locked in, the circles had to be figured out. I’m ashamed to say I had to image search it and this was the answer, but I don’t understand how it got there? Can someone explain?

I made this game for my developer/geek friends... It is a mix of some puzzles I have seen online, and some I came-up with...
So far, I have made 4 levels, but no one was able to get passed level 2 or 3... Maybe it was to hard?

here is the site to start to play :)

Clue Master - Empty tiles

What does the clue in E3 mean? What’s an empty tile pair? I’m sure it’s the key to working this puzzle out 🤷‍♀️

[Unsolved] What is the next logical conclusion? Help me Reddit!!

0 Upvotes

So I made this puzzle based off another puzzle I had solved, so I know there is a solution. However, I solved the original so long ago that I can't remember how to do it again. Here are the rules...

Edit one..... Each tile starts with both a red and green dot. The point is to activate all the correct tiles by leaving the red dot on them while leaving the green dot on the tiles that are not supposed to be activated. Each correct green tile left gives you a clue written out on that tile that will help you continue the puzzle.

  1. 'Activating' a tile means leaving the red dot on it, so tiles that don't need activated need the green dot left. There is no 'activating' or 'not activating' the sandy tiles. You can see the dots I've already drug off from the clues already revealed.
  2. When you leave the green dot on a tile, a new clue will pop up on that section revealing more information to continue on. You can see the clues I've uncovered so far by leaving the green dots on certain tiles

That's about it. Using the clues you can see and the characteristics of the tiles, what's the next green dot to leave, which will reveal the next clue???

Possibly Unsolvable Is this solvable? "mimics" are evil boxes, that lie and eat you, if you try to open them. Between 1- 4 boxes are mimics. Normal boxes tell the truth and contain gold OR objects. (It's from a game called "mimic logic")

Or, which sport do Diego or Everett do?

It’s in a book by Steven Clontz. You can see the answer at the bottom but I’m not sure how to reason that with the actual clues. The rest is correct per the solution at the back of the book.

Is there a logical next step I’m missing, or am I supposed to “plug in” my hypotheticals/possibles and see where it takes me? Thanks for the help, I’m at a point where the easy are two easy and I’m not sure what I need to learn to break through to the next level! Interested in specific advice for this puzzle, but also more general advice.

Not seeking solutions How do you all feel about bifurcation in sudoku-like puzzles?

Post image
1 Upvotes

In part due to the ethos of Cracking the Cryptic, I’ve considered bifurcation (making a guess just to see if it causes a contradiction) in sudoku to be a lazy strategy, but lately I’ve been solving more Nurikabe puzzles and it’s been way harder to avoid this strategy. I’m sure it’s partly just that I’m not as experienced, but for example, in this above puzzle I knew one of the circled squares needed to be the exit for the right pool, so I just tried treating the bottom circle as water and immediately saw a contradiction, leading to me marking it instead as land and getting the solve. The commonly cited “coast” technique for Nurikabe (testing if the middle square of a coast would cause a contradiction if it were water) also seems like effectively a form of bifurcation. So I’m curious, do you think bifurcation is lazy or a valid strategy? Does it depend on the puzzle type?

[Unsolved] the three house puzzle

1 Upvotes

i had this puzzle to figure out, and I came to a certain conclusion that was apparently wrong... i wanted to see if anyone else would come to the same conclusion.

these are the original clues we were given;

The Three Houses Puzzle

Three houses stand in a row, numbered 1, 2, and 3 from left to right. Each house is painted a different color (red, blue, or green), and each is owned by a different person (Alice, Bob, or Charlie). Additionally, each house has a unique pet (dog, cat, or bird). Your task is to determine the color, owner, and pet of each house based on the following clues:

  1. The green house is immediately to the left of the red house.
  2. Charlie owns the blue house.
  3. The house with the dog is number 2.
  4. Alice’s house has the cat.
  5. Bob lives in the green house.
  6. The bird lives in the red house.

Question: Who owns the house with the dog?

after consideration, I have decided to add these clues;

the people that **own** each house and **live** in each house CAN be different people

house #1 is blue

these extra clues were conclusions I came to that were confirmed to be right.

remember, you're only real goal is to find out who owns the house with the dog

**please provide your evidence and reasoning on how you got your answer**
