Skyline and buildings puzzles
Sudoku like puzzles!
A puzzle of reasoning and logic
Reasoning and logic that uses a point of view for a relative position.
Directions:
Fill in the 3x3 grid with buildings that are short, medium, or tall so each row and each column has has exactly one building of each height (short, medium, tall). Similar to sudoku.
Sample solution walk through
Take a 3x3 grid.
Grab three cuisenaire rods (or other blocks to represent tall, medium, short buildings).
Arrange the buildings on a 3x3 grid so that each row and each column has exactly one building of each height (short, medium, tall).
When you're done, draw a birdseye view of them on the grid below or write the size of the buiding on each square (T,M,S).
Creating a skyscraper puzzle
Need to know our solution, then write how many buildings a viewer can see from the street level at a postion. For example the viewers below can see the number of buildings they are reporting for their position.
From the reports of these for four positions a person could determine the landscape of buildings in this grid.
Hints
Reason it through. If a person can see three buildings, then the buildings in from of them must be in the order of S, M, L.
If they report 1, then only building they can see in front of them is T. The other buildings behind it are hidden and need to be reasoned from another postion.
Creating 4x4 skyscraper puzzle
Imagine a city scape that has three sizes of building S, M, L and G green spaces.
Challenge:
Can you fill a 4x4 grid with buildings and green space that are green space, short, medium, tall so each row and each column has exactly one green space (G), short building (S), medium building (M), tall building (T).
Similar to sudoku.
