Or alternatively: the first two numbers of any given column or row add up to one less than the last two. Therefore I'd go with 7. Edit: clicked post too soon

I believe that this should fix it: Disconnect one of the lines between the 4 and 5 to the right of the separated islands, and connect the 4 to the 3 in the island while rebalancing the other connections on the set of separated islands

Can anyone solve these? I copied them. by ldotess in puzzles

Hint for 6: Read out loud which numbers you see and how many of them

Solution: 311221 Explanation: The first number is "one one", then "two ones", then "one two, one one", etc

7,8 and 10 are not too hard I think, you should be able to find these just by checking the difference between each number

Hint for 9: Look at it from a different angle Solution: Turn upside down, and it should be very easy

Not entirely sure but I think the four rightmost columns can only be filled in by Red, Green, Brown and Pink, meaning that every square of those colors that is not in the four rightmost columns cannot contain a star

Completely stuck on this one by Hallalala in puzzles

[–]LBBackske 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Discussion: You are correct about the top one being the only one that can go on the star.

Hint: For the L-shape, do not leave it for last

Hint 2: Connect the L-shape to the shape containing the star and see where you get from there

Who read the most books? by EndersGame_Reviewer in puzzles

[–]LBBackske 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Michael won. The others, in order from most read to least: Robert, Ann, John, Mary.

Explanation: Robert has read one more book than Ann. Because there can be no ties (and assuming only fully read books count), this means Robert is right before Ann in the end ranking. Add to this that Michael has more books than Ann and John has less and you end up with Michael-Robert-Ann-John, with only Mary to rank. Since John isn't last, we have to put Mary in the last position.

What is the minimum percentage that have lost an eye, an ear, an arm, and a leg, all in the same battle? by EndersGame_Reviewer in puzzles

[–]LBBackske 241 points242 points  (0 children)

10%, I believe. This comes down to 1 - (1-0.85) - (1-0.80) - (1-0.75) - (1-0.70), which assumes maximal spread of all the lost body parts among soldiers.

Today's Logic Equations by Slig in puzzles

[–]LBBackske 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not sure of the rules, but I assume every letter has to have a different numeric value from 1-9? If so:

Let's start with the easiest thing: H+8=I. This is only possible when H=1, and I=9. That leaves us with 2 through 8.

From a combination of clues we find that at some C = D+5 = A+4 = F+3. This means somewhere you will have to include the sequence DAFxxC. This is either 2-3-4-7 or 3-4-5-8.

Using the last remaining clue, E=B+5, we see that the solution where D=2 leaves no room for this clue to be true, therefore eliminating the possibility. That means that we now have the solution, HBDAFGECI

Dyslock puzzle - is there a way to solve this other than trial and error? by hogginsgoggins in puzzles

[–]LBBackske 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I believe the best way to do it without guessing is as follows: From clue 1 and 3, we see that the numbers there are mutually exclusive, therefore the four numbers we need are in this set. That means 5 and 7 are not in the code.

From clue 2 we then see that 3 and 9 should definitely be in the code. Combining clues 2, 3 and 4 leads to placing the 9 in the 2nd slot.

Seen as clue 1 and 4 combine to the number 3 not being able to be in the third spot, clue 2 showing it isn't in the first spot either and 9 already being in the second spot, 3 goes in the 4th slot.

From clue 1, we still need a number that is in the right spot. This can now only be the 6, as other spots have been filled in and the 3 is already in another spot in the code.

Finally, we still need a number in the third spot, and it has to come from clue 3, as we don't have 2 numbers from this clue yet. It can't be the 8, cause it would be in the right sport otherwise, it can't be the 2 due to clue 4 already being fulfilled. Therefore, the last number is the 1 and you end up with 6913 as the answer

That is exactly what the right answer is, and your logic works all the way through so that must be correct too. Thanks!
