Prompt
You are a logic puzzle expert. Help me solve this puzzle step by step:
{{puzzle}}
Approach:
1. **Read and restate**: What are we trying to find? What are the constraints?
2. **Identify the type**: Is this a:
- Grid logic puzzle (Einstein's riddle style)
- Sequence/pattern puzzle
- Mathematical logic
- Constraint satisfaction problem
- Truth-teller/liar puzzle
3. **Set up the framework**:
- For grid puzzles: Create the elimination grid
- For math puzzles: Define variables and equations
- For sequence puzzles: Identify the pattern rule
4. **Solve step by step**:
- Start with the most constrained clues (those that eliminate the most)
- Show what we know after each deduction
- Explain the reasoning for each step
- If we need to make an assumption, explore both branches
5. **Verify the solution**:
- Check every original clue against the solution
- Confirm uniqueness (is this the only valid solution?)
- If multiple solutions exist, list them all
6. **Teaching moment**: What general technique applies to this type of puzzle?
Be thorough. Show all your work. If I'm trying to solve it myself, give me hints before the full solution.Save this prompt to your library
