Constraint Board Method

Open

Use a structured board to solve Clock Puzzles puzzles with constraints.

Case Split & Test

Open

When puzzle has ambiguity, split into minimal cases and test quickly.

Visual Pattern Rule Extraction

Open

For pattern/shape/clock/grid puzzles, extract rule before calculating.

Constraint Board Method

Use a structured board to solve Clock Puzzles puzzles with constraints.

When to Use: Use this for seating, arrangement, and multi-clue logic puzzles.

Step-by-Step Method

List all entities and possible positions/states.
Apply direct constraints first.
Use elimination for impossible slots.
Finalize only when all constraints are satisfied.

Worked Example

Question: A sits left of B, and B sits left of C. Who is in the middle?

Arrange by constraints: A _ B _ C.
Only one consistent order is A-B-C.
Middle position is B.

Final Answer: B

Option Analysis

A and C cannot be middle due to direct left-right constraints.

Common Mistakes

Applying indirect clues before direct clues.
Not updating grid after each elimination.
Accepting partial fit without checking all clues.

Quick Shortcut: Lock fixed positions first; only then place flexible entities.
