Featured Puzzle: Futoshiki #3 – Old School Math Lesson

ByJacob Valdez

Back in my youth, one of the sillier worksheets we used to get in math class was the number comparison worksheet. the teacher used to explain the greater-than and less-than symbols as, “the alligator easts the larger number.” That got me thinking that it would be a fun way to theme a Futoshiki puzzle.

Fill in the grid of frogs with the numbers 1-7, so that no row or column contains any digit twice.

  • Each row and column must contain all of the numbers from 1 through 7.
  • There may not be duplicate numbers in any row or column
  • An alligator inequality sign between two adjacent cells wants to eat the larger number of the pair.
  • Adjacent cells without an alligator do not have any requirements other than those in the first two rules

Did you know? Frog legs have the texture of chicken, but the flavor of catfish.

Featured Puzzle: Worms #2 – Digging up Gummy Worms

Gummy bears were invented all the way back in the 1920s, but in 1981, an unusual variation appeared. While gummy candy had been all over Europe for over half a century, they didn’t make their way onto US shores until the early 80s. They became such a huge fad that the German company Trolli created Gummy Worms, based on the notion that they’d sell because of the shock factor. (We Gen-Xers were some sick puppies – don’t forget we were the original market for Garbage Pail Kids.)
