Theme:<\/b> Tiny Watch<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 131st puzzle from our contributing puzzlemaster JinHoo Ahn.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Write a number from 1 to N (N is given for each puzzle) into each cell so that every number appears in the grid once. There must be a path using just adjacent cells to travel between consecutive numbers from 1 to N. Also, the number in the upper-left corner of each bold cage indicates the value of a mathematical operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) applied successively to all numbers in the cage, starting with the largest number for subtraction and division (e.g. 1,2,4 with subtraction is a 1- clue as 4-2-1 = 1). The operation may or may not be given in the cage, but at least one of the four operations must apply.<\/p>\n
