Download or read book Kakuro written by Guardian News and Media Ltd and published by Random House. This book was released on 2005-11-14 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Guardian relaunched their new Berliner sized paper this autumn, they chose Kakuro as one of their launch vehicles. Kakuro (called Kakro in Japan and Cross Sums in the USA) has become the new number puzzle phenomenon gathering millions of fans worldwide. Older than puzzle favourite Sudoku and played for many years in Japan, Kakuro is best described as a kind of mathematical crossword. Like Sudoku, Kakuro is played on grids of varying sizes. Each grid consists of blank and filled squares similar to a crossword puzzle and the object of Kakuro is to fill in each of the white squares with the numbers 1-9 so that each set of blanks adds up to the total to the left or above. The same number cannot be used more than once in each set. Some filled in squares have a diagonal slash across them with two numbers - one above and one below the diagonal. These are the 'clues' - the number in the top right corner relates to a horizontal 'clue' and the one in the bottom left corner relates to a vertical one. The Guardian Book of Kakuro features over 100 different number puzzles, graduating from 40 simple number games to 20 puzzles of medium difficulty and then finally featuring some really tough puzzle games for those who have mastered the skill. Each puzzle has been hand crafted by a Japanese inventor and is wholly original. The Guardian Book of Kakuro includes four pages of 'How To', explaining the rules and featuring example puzzles, plus a page of unique number combinations.

Book excerpt: 100 Puzzles With Answers. Large 8.5 x 11 Puzzle Book Math Puzzles For Kids Ages 12-14 Are you looking for super fun and engaging Math Puzzles, Math Riddles, and Math Brain Teasers for Kids? Kakuro or Kakkuro or Kakoro is a logic puzzle that is often referred to as a mathematical transliteration of the crossword. The canonical Kakuro puzzle is played in a grid of filled and barred cells, "black" and "white" respectively. Kakuro puzzles are easy to learn, language-independent logic puzzles, that are successfully following the footsteps of the worldwide Sudoku success. The puzzles require just pure logic and simple add/subtract calculations. Our numerical-crossword puzzles will bring you into a fascinating world of number combinations you never imagined could exist. Defined as number crosswords, Kakuro puzzles come in endless variations, are available in almost any grid size and range from very easy to extremely difficult taking anything from ten minutes to several hours to solve. Make one mistake and you'll find yourself stuck later on as you get closer to the solution... If you like Sudoku and other logic puzzles, you will love Kakuro. Apart from the top row and leftmost column which are entirely black, the grid is divided into "entries", lines of white cells by the black cells. The black cells contain a diagonal slash from upper-left to lower-right and a number in one or both halves, such that each horizontal entry has a number in the black half-cell to its immediate left and each vertical entry has a number in the black half-cell immediately above it. These numbers, borrowing crossword terminology, are commonly called "clues". The objective of the puzzle is to insert a digit from 1 to 9 inclusive into each white cell so that the sum of the numbers in each entry matches the clue associated with it and that no digit is duplicated in any entry. It is that lack of duplication that makes creating Kakuro puzzles with unique solutions possible. Just like Sudoku, solving a Kakuro puzzle involves investigating various combinations and permutations.
