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> Evens and Odds<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 1st puzzle from guest contributor Ozan Kaya.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Variation of standard Battleships<\/a> rules. Instead of exterior clues, clues inside the grid indicate the number of adjacent squares, including diagonally adjacent squares, containing ship segments. Ships do not sit on cells with numbers.<\/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 = 2:45, Master = 4:00, Expert = 8:00<\/span><\/p>\n
