50 Crossnumber Puzzles, Creating Puzzles

This book is bursting with 50 fun and addictive crossnumber puzzles!

Crossnumbers are cousins of kakuro puzzles, but featuring even more brain-busting twists. Clues might be arithmetical, but also can be logic-based, algebraic, or refer to other properties of numbers, like "a square number", "a palindrome", "a cube", or "the square of a prime number". Some of the puzzles within are hybrids of crossnumber puzzles and sudoku, for even more varied solving pleasure.

Features of this book include:

50 exciting puzzles, sorted by difficulty.
A solution guide giving hints for each puzzle.
A full solution for each puzzle.
Handy solution aids such as charts of prime, square, and cube numbers.
Step-by-step instructions on creating your own puzzles, so you can expand your fun and challenge your friends!
