Solve this puzzle! (hard)
« on: February 18, 2006, 04:50:27 pm »
From the authors website:

"Below is a very special grid, around each shaded number are 8 white squares. However, each white square should have a number from 1 to 7. Once filled in, these 8 numbers will sum to the shaded number. In addition, once completed correctly, no row nor column will contain a duplicate number within a white square. For example, the top row may be 5 6 4 2 3 1 7, etc. This is [site name removed] most difficult puzzle, but is solvable without the aid of a computer"

Dumbass.
Enlighten us.
I understand the concept, I don't know the numbers as I don't want to try.

By following the rules that govern this puzzle, how else?

It looks correct to me, though.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Why the hell would you remove the sites name, but not rephrase the question? I wonder where it came from...

What I'm saying is he could have cheated either way!  It's just as easy.
