Skyscrapers, by Thomas Snyder, originally posted at The Art of

Puzzles

Skyscrapers are one of my favorite logic puzzle types. I feel like I just don’t see enough of them. While I particularly enjoy clever variations (and feel my two MIT Mystery Hunt Skyscrapers variants are amongst the very best things I’ve ever written), this puzzle consists of two “classic” skyscrapers puzzles that I wrote for the Turkish National Championship. Enjoy!

Instructions: Enter a number from 1 to N into each cell so that, in each row and column, every number appears exactly once. Each number in the grid represents the height of a building and the clues on the outside of the grid indicate how many buildings can be “seen” when looking from that direction. Taller buildings block the view of smaller buildings. For example, if a row contained the numbers 15342, then two buildings are seen from the left—1 and 5—and three buildings from the right—2, 4, and 5—with the other buildings blocked by taller buildings in front of them.
