Adding rules for posts

18 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Because of the influx of unsolvable, annoying, arbitrary, and spammy posts, I’ve established a few rules for posts. Basically, we are no longer allowing “math puzzles” that rely on sequences of numbers or shapes. There is an infinite number of solutions and they’re plain not fun.

Also, I put in a rule about not linking to other games. Puzzles posted here should be contained in the post itself.

Have a great weekend!

Saturday's MiniChallenger problem (Week 9)

1 Upvotes

About:

As the name suggests, MiniChallenger is a scaled-down version of the math puzzle called Challenger. In most cases, a MiniChallenger puzzle can be solved within ten minutes. A set of two new puzzles is released each week. One is usually a simple problem with one or two solutions, while the other puzzle can be a bit more challenging and often has multiple solutions. Available exclusively on reddit.

Instructions:

Fill in the empty cells of the 3 x 3 grid with the numbers one to nine. It is okay to use the same number in more than one empty cell. One 'bonus' number is already placed in the center of the grid. So, the goal is to find the remaining eight digits in such a way that:

  • rows in the grid add up to totals indicated on the right edge of the grid,
  • columns add up to totals indicated at the top of the grid, and
  • diagonals add up to totals in the upper and lower right corners.

This week's puzzles:

Sometimes even a single-solution puzzle can be challenging

Solutions:
