Sikaku Puzzles
Sikaku or divide by box seems to be one of the least published puzzles at the moment in the West. The puzzle is sometimes referred to as rectangles.The game starts with a square grid of various sizes, which partially determines the difficulty. Some boxes have a number in, others are blanked.
The aim is to divide the grid into rectangles such that each number is part of a rectangle containing that number of boxes. Thus the number '4' must belong to a rectangle containing exactly four cells.
There is only one possible solution for each puzzle to divide the overall box in order to satisfy the specified number of cells within each rectangle. It is a fun and often challenging logic puzzle. An example can be seen in the image to the right; here colour has been used to demarcate the boundaries of each rectangle rather than a thicker border.
