Introduction to Shalosh B. Ekhad's
"66 Skyscrapers Problems"
Written: July 10, 2016
The Rules
If the given grid is an n by n grid, Fill it with numbers from 1 to n. The numbers represent the respective heights of skyscrapers-
1 being the shortest, n being the tallest. The digits at the side of the grid indicate the number of skyscrapers that can be seen
from that vantage point, with shorter buildings sometimes hidden by taller one. As in Sudoko, no number is repeated
in any row and column.
To get an idea, simply look at the
this problem and its
solution.
[Note: The 4 by 4 version of this puzzles appears currently (2016) in the New York Times Sunday magazine, and
is attributed there to We-Hwa Huang.]
