Solving the New York Times Sunday KenKen puzzles!
США
Добавлен 22 авг 2006
I've been hooked on the Sunday NY Times KenKen puzzles for years, so I thought, "what's the nerdiest thing I could do?"
For a while now, I've been considering a RUclips series to show how I solve the puzzles each week. I won't do them ahead of time, so you can watch as I figure them out, and explain my thinking as I approach each puzzle.
Hopefully, seeing how I get through each KenKen puzzle (especially the hard 7x7 one) will give you some tips and tricks for solving them on your own! Hope you like these - have fun!

Well, we've got a 5x5 that is slightly harder than normal, and a 7x7 that is slightly easier than normal I guess? Not much to comment on other than the fact that the L-shaped 21+ wasn't as difficult as it looked at first! Happy holidays everyone!

Gotta run to the airport to pick up the kids, but the 7x7 was pretty challenging this week! Good luck everyone....

I'm extraordinarily excited this morning, because I finally did it! My brain saw it!!! For context, there's a trick that people have been suggesting, which is a great tip, and which I completely love and understand... but I simply never use it. Not because I don't get it, but because... for whatever reason, I just never see it. My brain gravitates towards other tricks for solving these puzzles....

These are going up a little later than usual, due to the holiday weekend here in the US, but hopefully they'll still reach you when you need them. Each of the puzzles seemed a little harder than normal, but nothing too bad... or maybe my brain is just tired after the extended weekend. Enjoy!!!

When you're in the air for about 20 hours, and you're still not at your destination, that's when you know you are very, very far from home. Anyway, thanks for your patience with the puzzles last week as I tried to solve them remotely from India, but I'm happy to be home, although very jet-lagged! Thankfully, the puzzles were relatively straightforward this week... my semi-addled brain couldn't ...

Hi everyone - sorry about the format today (Excel style!) but I'm traveling for work to Hyderabad, India! My wife was kind enough to send me photos of the KenKen puzzles this week, so I've re-created them in Excel, and I'm recording my screen as I try to solve them in real time. I bet the audio is horrible, but hopefully you can follow along, as I really didn't want to wait to post the solution...

Enjoy the puzzles everyone. I got off to a good start on the 7x7, but then hit a wall pretty suddenly. It took a few minutes for me to find the key to unlocking the puzzle after that, and then we're off to the races.

Happy Daylight Savings Time for all who celebrate. Apologies for my scratchy voice this week, as I seem to have come down with a touch of something, but I hope these videos are helpful! PS - please vote!!! PPS - I tried to use the "all rows and columns add up to 28" trick once, but it didn't really get me anywhere this week.
