Puzzle 574: Ripple Play 7
MellowMelon's posts about the current World Puzzle Championship suggest that there are a lot of 21-themed puzzles this year. As such, I have scheduled this puzzle to go up at 21:21. Hahaha, I am so clever.
Puzzle 320: Ripple Play 4
This wound up being a little bit on the hard side. (I think this is a good thing.)
Puzzle 309: Ripple Play 3
One week remains before the deadline of my Attack of the Four Puzzles! contest. If you like solving puzzles, and haven't entered the contest already, I suggest you do. You'll have LOTS of puzzles to solve if you are fortunate enough to win. :)
Puzzle 307: Ripple Play 1
For a puzzle that revolves around numbers, you'd think there'd be some, I dunno, actual numbers in this one. (It's actually not terribly uncommon for this kind of puzzle to contain no givens, although to me, it seemed at least 60 times trickier to compose than to actually solve. Maybe I'm just a newbie. :) )
Rules -- Ripple Play
Also known as Ripple Effect or Hakyuu Kouka.
1. Place a single positive integer in every empty cell.
2. Every region of the grid must contain consecutive numbers starting at 1, up through the number of cells in that region. (For instance, a 4-cell region must contain the numbers 1 through 4.)
3. Any two occurrences of the same number in one row or column must have at least that number of other cells between them. (For instance, two 2's in the same row or column must have at least two other cells between them.)
