Finally I joined in Steemit! After a week I applied to sign up, I got an email with my password. So glad! I've actually had thousand things I want to post. But today I'd like to introduce a puzzle called 'Spink'. Before I introduce this, I think it's better to introduce myself. I'm a kind of all-round player, which means I can setup many things like toilets, electrical wiring, water pipe, etc. I also design many things and wring some books. So, what do I do for a living? I think I'm close to a inventor. Well, it sounds like a liar in South Korea but it is not true. Anyway, let's get started.
What is Spink puzzle?
Spink stands for 'Speak' and 'Think'. Spink puzzle was made for reflecting people's thinking. When I was making this, I also made a game of it. Recently I found that it is quite similar to Blockchain. I'll be glad if you're interested in this.
Rules
- Use only 1, 2 and 3
- Only cells in the same row or column affect each other's numbers as follows:
- The same numbers make the same number :
1 @ 1 = 1
2 @ 2 = 2
3 @ 3 = 3 - Different numbers make another number :
1 @ 2 = 3
2 @ 3 = 1
3 @ 1 = 2
Red : 3, Grey: 2, Yellow: 2
It's so easy, you don't even have to remember it hard.
Let's take a look another quiz.
You may feel hard to guess the answers but if you pay a little attention, you will start to see something. The order and the method of the solution may be different, but the answer is always same.
The above rules and the solution will help you understand how the rules are being applied. Please fill in the remaining blanks :)
It seems too easy, huh? But one more rule is left, which will make you freak out.
In the meantime, I'm gonna let you know the terms first.
Spink unit, Cells and Core
The twelve sided shape is called Spink unit, the outer divided parts are called Cells and the center circle is Core. That Cells can be separated more than three, which means difficulty can be controlled. So, what is the additional rule?
- The number on the Core means the sum of the numbers on each Cells.
If there are 3 Cells, the minimum value of the Core will be 3 (If all Cells have 1) and the maximum value will be 9 (If all Cells have 3). Similarly, if there are 4 Cells, the minimum value of the Core will be 4 (all have 1) and the maximum value will be 12 (all have 3).
They show how it works.
Is there anybody read all above? Let me show you a practice.
I’ll give you the answer on next post. Well, I actually wanted to post about blockchain for the first post, but I though this’s better. Haha.. Hope to see you again!
