  1. Question about #13, which sounds to me like a conflict. should it read “ nothing is south of the one black rook, which is on the edge”? or should it read “ nothing is south of the white rook that is on the edge” or even “one of the white rooks is on the edge, and has nothing south of it”? for that matter, should it name a different piece than white rook?

  6. Much more satisfying, thank you!
  7. Oooh, sounds like you’ve nailed it, plainglazed.
  8. Here's a different rectangle that may work: Pennies and Rectangle.pdf
  9. Dang! I guess I was using fuzzy logic.
  10. Nice, Bonanova! Definitely not the obvious answer.
  11. Rocdocmac, I found it to be interesting, and I felt I learned something while attempting to solve it. Also I was impressed at the originality of the problem. Thanks! Thalia, thanks for showing us that I wasn’t crazy!
  12. After elimination of columns, do the row totals all still have to be equal (although maybe equal to 6 or 5?)

  14. Nice puzzle, Rocdocmac, I think the desired answer is
  15. Plainglazed, you asked perfectly clearly. I wish I had done such a clear job of answering as bonanova did. Thanks for the fun puzzle!
  16. Ooh, now I see what you mean. Much different problem. Sorry
