Hello all,

Here with another quick puzzle, I present to you, KenKen! If you're unfamiliar with KenKen, here is a summary of the rules:

  • Fill in the numbers from 1-6 (since this is a 6x6 grid).
  • Do not repeat a number in any row or column.
  • The numbers in each heavily outlined set of squares--called cages--must combine (in any order) to produce the target number in the top corner using the mathematical operation indicated.
  • Cages with just one square should be filled in with the target number in the top corner. These are freebies :)
  • A number can be repeated within a cage, as long as it is not in the same row or column.

Here is a FAQ, if you are still confused: http://www.kenken.com/aboutus_faq.html

Here is the puzzle: Puzzle!

Once you have solved the puzzle, feel free to enter the prize giveaway. Please leave a comment regardless of your decision to enter regarding your thoughts on the puzzle. Closes Saturday afternoon, (approximately 3pm EST, can't recall precisely). Thanks!

I think it'll take me longer to learn how to play than it will to solve it. Looks fun though, I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Nice. I was afraid my tired mind was misinterpreting the "quick" part.

Solved it, was fun but would be nice if you said it was contributor only before hand. Kinda sad to solve it then see that you can't enter.

Nice change for a puzzle giveaway. Took me a while, but once you start crossing those numbers it gets hectic.
Not interested in the game though.

Sounds like fun and I'm pretty good at these kind of puzzles (used to solve Sudokus on each lunch break when I was in high school) so I'll give it a shot later today.
