Solving Techniques
As in many logic puzzles, the basic resolution technique consists of analyzing the possibilities for each digit of being present in each cell. When a cell can contain only one digit (Naked Single) or when a digit has only one possible place (Hidden Single), it can be asserted as belonging to the solution.
However, as in the Sudoku case, the resolution of harder Hidato or Numbrix puzzles requires the use of more complex techniques - in particular of various types of chain patterns.

Famous quotes containing the words solving and/or techniques:
“Certainly, young children can begin to practice making letters and numbers and solving problems, but this should be done without workbooks. Young children need to learn initiative, autonomy, industry, and competence before they learn that answers can be right or wrong.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
