Puzzle 3

Below is a map of the BrainBashers detention facility.

There are 9 guards, A to I, who are in charge of a particular number of cells.

The guards only guard cells that they can see in a continuous straight line, either horizontally or vertically, and each cell is only protected by one guard.

The numbers represent how many cells each guard is in charge of, they are of course in charge of the cell they are currently in.

Can you work out which guards are in charge of which cells?

A-7

B-7

Puzzle 4

Below is a very special grid, around each shaded number are 8 white squares.

However, each white square should have a number from 1 to 7.

Once filled in, these 8 numbers will sum to the shaded number.

In addition, once completed correctly, no row nor column will contain a duplicate number within a white square.

For example, the top row may be 5 6 4 2 3 1 7, etc.

This is a very difficult puzzle, and many people resort to using a computer to help them, which is a challenge in itself.
