Kazo, is cyan Region Sum?

#17412

Too much of a hassle. I can’t move those around. I use WPS Slides (essentially Powerpoint).

#17413

Yes

So many times. I want mister Penal Judge Professor to dissapear from my curriculum, if he’s not going to bother to show up to my courses he should at least have the dignity to grade me max on papers I’ve done correctly

Then there’s also these professors that have confusing standards. Like what do you mean what I wrote isn’t subtextually understandable? Like yes I get it and all, precise academic writing, but I literally did? I filled my whole paper to avoid any ambiguity on this.

I know that I am at fault for not learning until I wouldn’t get it wrong, but gosh lower your standards, I literally wrote the correct info, are you seriously going to subtract points because I didn’t write it the way you wanted? I promise I WAS precise.

I mean, at that point, you’re probably not expecting them to be worth the effort.
Since, y’know, your stronger soldiers are probably better off not wasting their time to kill some random teenager who hasn’t done enough to warrant said attention.
Like oh hey, should I divert my strongest generals to deal with this seemingly insignificant threat, or should I save them in case something more threatening appears?

Technically I bifurcated, because there is another path that I have yet to solve

Ultimately, I do understand that I cannot put navy into [R2-5;C5-7] because the thermo would end in an even number, which breaks the parity line in Box 5.

I managed to solve my first solution because I asked myself “where is [4] in the renban line?” which somehow ended up cascading to the point where I could solve the puzzle. Unfortunately the same question cannot help me with the “potential second solution” (i.e., the one I have yet to solve) because the renban in that one is partially embedded in Box 3.

This was a tough challenge and I doubt I would’ve been able to solve it without the unintentional hint for the killer-cage group.

You can’t just use a nuke on every one-man army who tries to oppose you, since at some point you’ll run out of nukes. Or you’ll send the world into a nuclear winter.

(And I made this for days
)
Also I realized that without a solution checker, I don’t need the invisible clues.

Finally found a deadlock for the alternative.

Surprisingly, I didn’t even need to bruteforce for this one. I just had to focus on Box 5.
Anyhow, this proves that there was only one solution for the puzzle!
(Though I gotta say, I don’t think people will like having to dig this deep to justify why the other path is the correct one. I could have missed a reason why this path is a deadlock, but I kind of doubt it.)

#17427

And I am grateful for that, because believe me: I wouldn’t have been able to solve it without additional help from both Powerpoint and the unintentional extra clue.

Now then, off to the other version~
