Puzzle 45: Masyu

An explanation of the rules for Masyu puzzles is here. I’m starting to remember what makes for an aesthetic distribution of circles.

Puzzles 43,44: Masyu

it’s nice to be back! An explanation of the rules for Masyu puzzles is here.

 

Puzzle Packet: Approachable Masyu

Last summer I published in Hatched Magazine. Working with their editors I learned the puzzles I make are difficult. This packet attempts to change that. Presented with minimal checking, so if you find an error, the odds it’s actually an error are slightly higher than normal.

BmMT Puzzle Round 2016

My most recent large puzzle project is the puzzle round from Berkeley mini Math Tournament last November. I will most likely not be creating one for the 2017 BmMT.

Puzzle Set – BmMT

As you’ll see, I was too lazy in explaining the puzzle types. From Berkeley Mini Math Tournament, a middle school math contest run by UC Berkeley undergrads.

Puzzle #42: Masyu

It’s been a while, Masyu.

EDIT: Due to multiple solutions, an additional circle has been added. No good reason for the mess up.

Puzzle #41: Masyu

An easy Masyu inspired by music..

Puzzle #40: Masyu

Clearly this is a variant of Masyu. Go figure.

There’s some (accidental) symmetry going on. Figuring out a representation took long enough that less interest went into the puzzle than it deserved.

Puzzle #39: Masyu

Masyu. There’s obvious symmetry going on, but I’m decently happy with the logic as well. If-then logic isn’t necessary, though the puzzle is significantly easier if it’s used. Nice to make another puzzle after a break.

Puzzle #38: Masyu

Masyu. Still not making many (any); thankfully I have a backlog of made puzzles.

EDIT: This one should be new 😛
