Hidato - Solving Techniques

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:

    There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    It is easy to lose confidence in our natural ability to raise children. The true techniques for raising children are simple: Be with them, play with them, talk to them. You are not squandering their time no matter what the latest child development books say about “purposeful play” and “cognitive learning skills.”
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
