What should I do? I found a samurai that has no unique solution, yet they are giving prizes for solving it
Re: I found a puzzle w/o unique solution in a magazine. ??
It's happened before. As I understand it, puzzles in magazines, newspapers, etc. very often have more than one solution. Probably one of the best known cases was the Sky One puzzle on a hillside in England, for which they offered a prize of £5000. To their embarrassment , it turned out to have a total of 1905 solutions.Zabby wrote:What should I do? I found a samurai that has no unique solution, yet they are giving prizes for solving it
I guess that if you're sure of your solution, submit it to the magazine and point out that the puzzle has more than one solution.
