Integral of x³
(Eingestellt am 14. Oktober 2024, 21:43 Uhr von Evan)
I wanted to make something math themed, as I'm currently studying mathematics in university. So, I hope you enjoy this simple puzzle!
RULES:
Renban lines: Pink lines must contain a set of consecutive digits in any order, without repeats.
Region sum lines: Digits on a blue line have an equal sum N within each box it passes through.
German whisper lines: Two cells connected by a green line must have a difference of at least 5.
Killer cages: Digits in cages must sum to the number in the top-left corner and cannot repeat.
XV: Cells joined by an X or V must sum to 10 (X) or 5 (V).
For clarity: The whisper and renban x's are each technically two different lines of length two intersecting each other.
Lösungscode: Row 6

Very nice, I'm gonna share it with my students who have a test about integrals next week:-) Loved it a lot!
Tiny point though: integral boundaries do not match the area. But I regard this as purely cosmetic here. The curve resembles x^3, which is great. Fantastic rendition of the subject, a work of art!

Yes the boundaries are wrong... unfortunately having both "positive" and "negative" area would not have worked :((, but I still wanted the region sum line to resemble x^3.
Regardless, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I just liked solving the puzzle without understanding the math aspect. Glad to know there’s even more there for people to enjoy!

only when i read the comments did i click that the integral was more than cosmetic. Much wow - thanks for a gorgeous puzzle.

Fantastic the equation does work out to be the area under the curve. Very nice setting.

I'm glad you found that detail haha! It's not geometrically accurate, but I wanted to add a little something. - Evan
