Found to have multiple solutions by test1.

All puzzles here are solvable. I haven't found this to be logical. There were a couple guesses I needed to make, but perhaps the more skilled players were able to look ahead deeper into the solve than I was. It reminds me of the quilt puzzles that a lot of people have made.

It is logically solvable. Place 16s first. There is only one way. Then comes 8s and so on. It is logically solvable but you cannot utilize your common PBN solving methods.

I don't understand. If it has multiple solutions, how can you say that it is logically solvable?
#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Dec 1, 2017
It's logical only if you assume symmetry. That makes it, at best, an educated guess, not logic.

Your brain blows my mind

So basically, why bother?

WebPBN's solver uses a simple algorithm,, and is unable to recognize patterns. I assume that it works like a sorting algorithm. Most people here too solves puzzles the same way. However, logic is not limited to arithmetic operations, but has a deeper roots in mathematics. I wanted to show you guys that, but I assume that I have failed.

Deep mathematics is beyond me - but I can identify patterns and so was able to solve this puzzle in a state of mathematical oblivion :)
