Below are two Kuruko puzzles from my Kuruko puzzle book containing 100 original Kuruko puzzles. Similarly, the 11 in the upper right gray hexagon is pointed to by 5,2 and 4 which sum to 11. Of these six, three are pointing to the 8, these contain 1,3 and 4 which sum to 8. It is surrounded by six white hexagons containing the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. In the above example, notice the 8 in the upper left gray hexagon. Each gray hexagon is surrounded by the numbers 1 through 6 once and only once in each of the six surrounding white hexagons. The number in each gray hexagon is the sum of the numbers in the three white hexagon pointing to it. Also, three of the six white hexagons surrounding each gray hexagon “point” to the gray hexagon with a black arrow. Just like Sudoku, Kuruko has some very simple rules to follow, actually just two rules: Around each gray hexagon there are six white hexagons. Some of the hexagons are gray (7 of them) and some are white (24 of them). In Kuruko, the “boxes” are hexagons and they are distributed in a hexagonal pattern. In Sudoku, the “boxes” are squares and they are evenly distributed in chess board-like grid. (Sounds nearly exotic doesn’t it?) In any case, these puzzles are somewhat like Sudoku puzzles in that you need to fill in empty “boxes” with numbers following a given pattern.

Surrounding each yellow hexagon there are six white hexagons, these must contain the numbers 1 through 6 (each number once and only once)Ģ. To complete the puzzle you must fill in each of the empty white hexagons. It is comprised of 42 hexagons (six sided shapes). The Snowflake puzzle follows this design. Snowflakes are symmetric shapes with six points. I call them Snowflake puzzles because of their shape. ![]() Like Kurulko puzzles, they are similar to Sudoku puzzles. This is an extension of the Kuruko Puzzles that I created. Today’s puzzle is called a Snowflake Puzzle. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.” – Francis Bacon
