Featured Puzzle: Futoshiki #1 – Secret Santa
You’re the coordinator for this year’s Secret Santa party. Each of your seven guests brought a present for each of the others. You mixed in the gifts from you, and arranged them in a neat grid, with one present for each guest in each row and column. No idea why – you just liked the arrangement. But then the labels fell off of most of them! Fortunately, you were able to remember a bit about how they were arranged. Can you deduce the rest of the labels?
- 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 inequality sign between two adjacent gifts points to the lower number of the pair.
- Adjacent cells without an inequality symbol do not have any requirements other than those in the first two rules
