PDF<\/a><\/p>\n

or solve online<\/a> (using our beta test of Penpa-Edit tools; use tab to alternate between ship placement and shading modes. In ship placement mode, right click gives sea, left click gives circle\/square, left click and drag for rounded ships.)<\/p>\n

Theme:<\/b> Logical<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 45th puzzle from our contributing puzzlemaster Palmer Mebane.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Combination of Skyscrapers<\/a> and Battleships<\/a>. Place the indicated fleet into the grid so that no different ships are in cells that share an edge or corner. The size of the ship represents its height as in a Skyscrapers puzzle, and the clues outside the grid indicate how many ships are visible in that direction. Ships block the view of any ship of equal or smaller size behind them.<\/p>\n

Answer String:<\/b> For each row from top to bottom, enter the number of the first column from the left where a ship segment appears (enter just the last digit for any two-digit number). If the row is empty, enter 0. Enter these numbers as a single string with no separators.<\/p>\n

Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Grandmaster = 3:45, Master = 8:00, Expert = 16:00<\/span><\/p>\n
