We clearly have the 1-3-10 triplet for either the NE side or the SE side; with the 10 in the middle spot. Since there are not triplets with 3 and 8, this places 1-3-10 on the SE side.
Cannot use the 1-5-8 triplet with the starting diagram; so we have the 2-4-8 sequence for the NW side. Since there are no triplets with 1 and 2, this places the 4 in the top-most point.
This now eliminates the 1-6-7 triplet from consideration. Likewise, the 2-3-9 triplet is eliminated as the 2 and 3 are too far apart.
This leaves the 2-5-7 for the SW sideāwith 7 in the middleāand 3-5-6 for the S side with 6 in the middle.
Itās a daily calendar, so I donāt think they are meant to be solved in one sitting. I did solve that one pretty quick. Didnāt attempt the crossword puzzle yet.
You gotta spoiler that stuff!
I figure a daily calendar should take all day for each one?
YO, PATIENT ZOMBIE:
- Highlight solution.
- Click the gear icon (farthest to the right in the typing area box).
- Click āHide Details.ā
Maybe for the average person, but not for the average Actuary!
Hereās an interesting one.
1/15/21 - New Subdivision
Subdivide this region along the grid lines into non-overlapping squares and rectangles. Each rectangle or square must contain exactly one number that indicates how many cells make up its area.
how do you copy & pasted the color?
I donāt know that you can copy/paste the color. Iām taking screenshots and pasting them in. Works really well, much better than the AO did.
Ok, now Iāll post the next two and wait for someone else to solve them so I actually get some work done.
1/16/21 - Gridlock
Place the eight letters into the grid to form eight 3-letter words: three going across, three going down, and two on the long diagonals from top to bottom. The ninth letter has been placed to get you started.
Letters: A, D, D, D, E, I, L, O
1/17/21 - White Out
A bag contained 80 marbles, and 80% of them were white and the remainder were green. Some of the white marbles were removed from the bag, and after this, 60% of the marbles in the bag were white. How many white marbles were removed from the bag?
I couldnāt help myself and solved the 2nd one - it just seemed too easy. But Iāll let someone else post the solution.
Truth is that to me the crossword style puzzles are exceedingly difficult to me. I lack skills for crosswords. The math problems like the count-the-boxes grid was very easy, and the marble problem (sorry DTNF) was so easy I could do it in my head leaving no reason to actually try to write it down. I find the same issue with so called āmensaā tests. The math/number/logic/spacial reasoning problems are easy enough, but the word problems just baffle me.
Even the 1/9/21 puzzle I was more comfortable using the number 1 thru 10 than the letters A thru J
I love cross words, acrostics, crptoquotes (I do those in my head), scrabble, words with friends. Love puzzles of all types
