Posted December 1, 2014 • #advent2014 #areafiftyone #slitherlink #corral #masyu
Day 2 of the Puzzle Advent Calendar is here, and it comes with a set of little Area 51 variants to solve as practice for the calendar. But they've got a catch: all the threes are given!

Hey Tanfasie. That page has an extra rule that every possible 3 clue is given. If you apply that added constraint, the puzzle solves uniquely.

Want to use my puzzles in your class? Feel free to do so! I only ask a few things in return:
- If you want me to hold back the solution for any puzzle that you plan to use, please let me know ahead of time. Otherwise I may honor requests for solutions and accidentally help some students cheat.
- If you would like a copy of a puzzle without my blog header and contact info, please contact me and I'll do my best to provide a PDF that meets your needs.
- If you would like more puzzles of a particular type, easier or harder puzzles of a type, or some other custom request for puzzles, worksheets, or other materials, please contact me. I'm happy to help for free as time permits.

I know that I'm more than a year behind schedule, but I wanted to practice my Area 51 a bite more :-) Is it possible that the last puzzle (bottom right) doesn't have a unique solution? According to my solution two fields could be either inside or outside the loop and still give a correct solution : (2nd row, last column) and (last row, last column). Am I missing something ... ?
