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)
“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)
