  I’m sorry to anyone who spent real time on this

  i realised it had to at least have some zeroes somewhere, then got the rest ;)

  HAHAHHAHAHA

  solve path: the multiplication by 6 implies 1-down must be 00 or 01. try both possibilities. either way, the highlighted digit becomes 0, from there, there are only 2 possibilities and it can be shown that 1-down = 1 does not work by 3-across.

  also a small nitpick, 0^0 is undefined. still, great use of almost 3 minutes. made me laugh for sure

    In my heart 0 to the power of 0 is 1 not undefined. But I’ll grant that at least it’s debatable.

  Count me as a fail because I’m use to having 0^0 being undefined. The reason for this is that 0^x 0 as x approaches 0 but x^0 1 as x approaches 0. Since either makes sense for 0^0 it is often left undefined. This led me to no valid solutions being possible and I gave up. That said, I am very happy to have inspired evil!. Welcome to the Terrordome!

    Sorry. In my heart 0^0 is 1, and that’s the result I got from a quick Google to double check, but I’ll grant that it’s at least debatable

      I will grant that it is not certainly not incorrect. For anyone following along at home, here is a good video explaining both points of view: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hm4fMkl5XI. In my work, 0^0 comes out of calculus limits, and this is best left undefined. In other fields, such as combinatorics, 0^0 is best taken as 1. I give @TheNoah a +0^0 for this puzzle!

  RUUUUUUUUDE lol I'm glad I remember my zero facts!

    Sorry you don't remember any facts glad you had zero fun.

  I was convinced that 2D was a typo. Even ignoring that, everything I tried just pushed the digit sum lower and lower.

  I see others have mentioned, but 0^0 doesn't have a value. 0^x is 0 everywhere and x^0 is 1 everywhere. It's not debatable, it just is.

    Sorry to have wasted your time. I see that frustrated a lot of people. If I was doing the bit again I would only have subtraction and multiplication clues.
