Logic & Constraint Elimination

Every clue removes possibilities; a solution is justified only when all constraints hold and competing possibilities are eliminated.

What you'll learn

  • Maintain a complete set of candidates while applying clues one at a time.
  • Combine clues rather than treating each clue as a separate puzzle.
  • Distinguish a statement from its unsupported converse.
  • Verify that the final candidate satisfies every clue and is unique.
