Math tapa itself is an encoded form of tapa where the clues are results of mathematical operations on the individual digits.I am presenting a variant that encodes these results with letters.Same letters represent same numbers,and different letters represent different numbers.
Found some solutions. At the very least, you need to add that all these additions use exactly two numbers.
ReplyDeleteThese operations use exactly two numbers in my solution.Do you see a solution using clues with more than 2 digits ?
ReplyDeleteI thought I had, but now it looks like I'm mistaken. Still, there are solutions where some or all "sums" use only one number.
ReplyDeleteIn math tapa,all operations use two or more numbers.If an operation does not use two or more numbers,it is not valid.
ReplyDeleteIf you use only one number,this puzzle has more than a million solutions.
At least 10 million actually.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I didn't really get the puzzle until I read the comments. So, each cell's clues are added up to give a number, which is then encoded into the "standard" Cipher twist? And no clue square has precisely one number? Okay, that makes sense. At least for now.
ReplyDeleteYes.
