Ran into James at the local Kwik-E-Mart the other day and he tells me about this puzzle he has invented. He's got a couple of books of puzzles published and another one on the way. He has a Facebook page that has some samples. From his About page we have this brief explanation of how it works:
PUZLN 1-9 (r) is a numbers puzzle that is similar to, and (in my opinion) more fun than sudoku. You begin the puzzle like sudoku, then do obvious math solving, then go back to sudoku solving, then back to math solving, etc....
I was originally concerned about the precedence of the math operations, but I have since decided that the math operations need to be perform in the ordered they appear, i.e. left to right, or top to bottom for the columns.
Hello Chuck. It's been a few years since meeting @ the Kwik-E-Mart. The couple of books were Mini-Magazines,and the one "on the way" (Number-Crunching Sudoku) was sold at Barnes & Noble Bookstores from March, 2016 - April, 2018.
ReplyDeleteMy Puzln 1-9 app became available on iTunes, Google Play, and Facebook Gameroom on 12/31/18. The first Level is FREE, and each Level after that(has 8-17 puzzles), is only 99 cents! I hope you enjoy solving the puzzles!
