It does show multiple solutions, but only if there are some. This puzzle has only one solution.

Twillis, have you tried turning sideways? ;-)
#11: Twillis (twillis) on Oct 27, 2007

Fabulous first puzzle. The little non-symmetrical touches made it surprisingly hard!

I was able to solve the upper left hand corner with trial and error. There is only one solution that will work.

Chessboard annotation, maybe? Letters for rows and numbers for columns, (or is it the other way around). Hell, I have to double think to get which are rows and which are columns. Good explanation for a concept that is not so easy to see without a diagram or visual aid.

Except for people like me, who spend most of their day in Excel, where you have Numbers for rows and Letters for columns.

hee. But then I am usually doing things upside down and backwards, so this would be nothing new.

Now there's a concept - if you turn your monitor upside-down and re-solve all these puzzle, would they solve differently? We could instantly double the number of puzzles!!

Ahhhh, no! I'll never get caught up as it is!

Thank you for your attempt to explain, Robert.
