How Do You Solve A Hanjie Logic Puzzle?
Hanjie is a Japanese logic puzzle that consists of a blank grid with sets of numbers across the top and side indicating the number of spaces filled in on those lines. The result is a pixelated picture that resembles the first images on computer screens in the 1980s. Look over the entire puzzle. The grid is broken up into sections that contain five square by five square blocks. This makes the width and height of the puzzle easy to figure. Count out the height and width and mark on the side of the puzzle. Examine the sets of numbers across the top and the left hand side. If the numbers are 1, 4, 4 that means that somewhere in the corresponding row/column there will be one space filled in, an undetermined amount of white spaces, four consecutive spaces filled in, another undetermined amount of white spaces and another four consecutive spaces filled in. Add up the number sets for each column and row. Make sure to add one square as the minimum between each individual set of darkened squares
