WPF PUZZLE GP 0 OMPETITION OOKLET Host ountry: zech Republic uthor: Jan Novotný Special Notes: For puzzles with hexagonal grids, the word row in the puzzle description refers to the diagonal rows (slanted at 0 degrees from the horizontal in either direction. However, the word row in the answer key extraction refers to strictly horizontal rows, that alternate going up and down the diagonal rows.. oomerangs ( points) Divide the grid into boomerangs, each containing exactly one dot. boomerang consists of a center cell and two legs of equal length coming off the center cell at a 0-degree angle along two different rows (or a row and a column). Each cell in the grid must be part of exactly one boomerang. The legs must be of length at least. a b D E G F The letters inside the dots are for nswer purposes only. H nswer: For each designated row, enter the letter for each cell, from left to right. The letter of a cell is the letter inside the dot that is inside its boomerang. Example nswer: DDF,EHGFFH a b E D H F I G
. Pointing at the rowd ( points) dd dots into empty cells such that each arrow is pointing in the direction that has (strictly) more dots than any other direction. nswer: For each designated row, enter its contents, from left to right. Use O for a cell with a dot and X for an empty cell or cell with an arrow. Example nswer: XOXOX,XXOXO a a b b. Six Winds ( points) Draw arrows in the empty cells in the grid. rrows can only go in the six standard directions and must begin at the edge of a cell with a number. Each empty cell must be covered by exactly one arrow. Each number indicates the total length of all the arrows that begin at an edge next to that number s cell. 6 The dots in cells and circles underneath the grid are only used for entering your answers. nswer: Enter the number whose arrow covers the dot, reading the dots from left to right. (Ignore which row the dots are in.) Use only the last digit for two-digit numbers; e.g., use 0 for a number labeled 0. Example nswer: 6 6 6 9 6
. Easy as... ( points) Place letters of the specified list into some cells, no more than one letter per cell, so that each letter appears exactly once in each row and column. The letters outside the grid indicate the first letter that can be seen in the respective row or column from the respective direction. {,,} nswer: For each designated row, enter its contents. Do not include any letters outside the grid. Use X for an empty cell. a Example nswer: XX,XX {,,} b. Slitherlink ( points) Draw a single, non-intersecting loop that only consists of line segments between the dots. number inside a cell indicates how many of the edges of that cell are part of the loop. You may only draw on the grid along the dotted lines. nswer: For each designated row, enter the lengths (number of cells) of each segment of cells inside the loop, from left to right. Use only the last digit for two digit numbers; e.g., use 0 for a segment of length 0. If there are no cells inside the loop for a row, enter the single digit 0. Example nswer:, 0 a b
6. Japanese Sums ( points) Place a digit from the specified list into some cells so that no digit appears more than once in each diagonal row or column. ells may remain empty. Numbers outside the grid indicate all sums of continuous groups of digits (including sums of a single digit) along that diagonal row or column. These groups are separated by empty cells. These sums are given in the same order as their corresponding groups of digits. nswer: For each designated row, enter its contents, using X for an empty cell. Example nswer: XX,X { 6} 6 { } 0 6 9 6 6 6a 0 6 6b 6 6 9 6 6 6 6 6
. Kropki (6 points) a O O XO Place a number from to X (integers only) into each cell so that each number appears no more X. X. XO. O than once in each diagonal row and column. (X is the number of cells in the longest row.) XO. O O white dot on the edge of two cells indicates that those two cells must contain consecutive b. O O numbers; a black dot on the edge of two cells indicates that a number in one of those cells is. X. X O XO. double the value of the number in the other cell. If and are in adjacent cells, then the dot between them could be either color. If there is no dot on the edge of two cells, it means neither a black nor a white dot could go there. nswer: For each designated row, enter its contents from left to right. Example nswer:, a b
. Pills (0 points) Locate the indicated set of pills in the grid. Pills have a or shape and do not overlap each other. Each pill has a different value (number of dots inside the pill), as indicated to the right of the grid. Each number to the left and top of the grid reveals the number of dots in that row or column that are inside pills. nswer: For each designated row, enter the pill value for each cell from left to right. (If the cell is inside a pill, enter the value of that pill; if the cell is not inside a pill, enter 0.) Use only the last digit for two-digit numbers; e.g., use 0 for a pill of value 0. Example nswer: 90000, 9 6 9 0 0 6 6 a 0 0 b 0 9
9. Hexiom (6 points) Place the indicated set of dots in the grid. Each dot has a number that indicates the number of other dots adjacent to it. Some dots may already be placed in the grid. Some cells in the grid may be marked with an X, indicating that the cell cannot contain a dot. nswer: For each designated row, enter its contents, from left to right. Use X for an empty cell. Example nswer: XX0X,X 9a 9b 0 0 X 6 X 9a 9b X X
0. Skyscrapers ( points) Place a number from to X (integers only) into each cell so that each number appears at most once in each diagonal row and column. (X is the number of cells in the longest row.) Each number represents a skyscraper of its respective height. The numbers outside the grid indicate how many skyscrapers can be seen in the respective diagonal row or column from the respective direction; smaller skyscrapers are hidden behind higher ones. Some numbers may already be filled in for you. nswer: For each designated row, enter its contents. Do not include any numbers outside the grid. Example nswer:, 0a 0b
