January - Hashi

Post by Prof. Tarma Amelia Black »

Let's boggle our brains with some Hashi!

You have two options and may do one or both of them.

One Rose * earns you 15 Hoots

Two Green * earns you 20 Hoots

Send me your solution(s) in a Forum PM titled "January - Hashi" by January 31st (11:59PM HOL time) to earn your Hoots!

Good luck. :blink:


Are you new to Hashi?
First off, Google "Hashi" for some instructions on what it is and how to play it.
Here is a result of a quick search:
Rules of Hashiwokakero
* Connect islands (the circles with numbers) with as many bridges as the number in the island.
* There can be no more than two bridges between two islands.
* Bridges cannot go across islands or other bridges.
* The bridges will form a continuous link between all the islands.
Look at the puzzle.
All '8' numbers have four 2-bridge sets going from them.
All '7' numbers have four bridge sets going from them, 3 with 2 bridges, 1 with 1 bridge. (There are no 7s in this puzzle though!)
All '5' or '6' which have their back to a wall (or a blank area) have to have 3 bridge sets going from them. The bridge sets for the '6' will be of 2 bridges each.
If there is a 3 in a corner, it must have a 2 bridge sets going out from it
A '1' never goes to another '1'.
Do the obvious bridge sets and then look at it to see what changes are made for the remaining numbers. Do you now have a '5' or a '6' with their back to a wall?


If you get stuck, send me a Forum PM titled "Hashi Stuck". I have magical WD-40 and hopefully can help unstick you. :)
