Crossnumber: Zeroed Out

◆ · By cheeky · Published 2021-09-19T18:04:31.001Z

Constructor's Note
Grab your calculators! Fill in every space in the grid with a digit from 1-9. This time, however, every entry MUST contain the digit 0 once and only once, besides for 11A and 10D, which both contain no zero. Digits are allowed to repeat in entries.

      Phew, was stuck for a while but finally got it! I wasn't sure if the same entry was allowed multiple times.

        Love these puzzles! For this one, I ended up with a solution different from the official solution, but which, as far as I can tell, is valid. The different entries I had were: 3A: 16; 5A: 61909; 8A: 02; 1D: 11101; 2D: 06; 5D: 60 (reversed version of 2D); 6D: 12

          I don’t think that quite works because every entry (except the two noted) must include exactly one 0

            You're absolutely right of course - that's the rule I forgot and of course it's right there in the instructions. And I thought I was so clever! :P

          Wow!

            Ahh, "every entry MUST contain the digit 0 once and only once..." I needed that written on the back of my hand, then it wouldn't have taken me 13 minutes to solve the puzzle! That was fun, though!

              Can someone explain how 5D is the reverse of 1A, 2D, and 4D?
              • cheeky constructor · 2021-09-23T23:58:00.305Z
                or, not and

                This was cool! Reading the "or" as meaning "and" tripped me up, but I got there.
