Wei-Hwa's Puzzle Challenge Number 16
Leave comments here: 4 comment(s)
Mini Battleships: To solve these small Battleships puzzles, place the six-ship fleet into the grid.
Rules: Ships can be oriented vertically or horizontally. The numbers along the side tell you how many "ship parts" are in that respective row or column. Ships are never adjacent to each other, not even diagonally. Some ship components and blank spaces are given to you and cannot be changed.
How to Play: All 36 squares must be labeled before the puzzle is considered solved. Click on an empty space to mark it with ocean ('x'). Click on a brown ocean space to mark it with a ship part. Click on a brown ship part to make it empty. Click on "Reset" (in the lower-right) to reset the puzzle. The numbers will turn green or red depending on how many ship parts you've placed.

X denotes "water" and O denotes ships. Due to the flak I've gotten on my blog, I'm trying to explain myself here.
First thing, fill in all "zero" rows or columns. Then fill any known ship "parts" from what is given, e.g. Puzzle #1, row 2, column five. Since you know row two has only 2 "ship parts" you may safely X-out the rest of the row.
Same for column six, rows four and six. Since one "three part cruiser" is used, the block given in row five, column six has to be the middle of the cruiser. and it has to be oriented north-south. Then X out all squares surrounding any known pieces. The rest will fall into place with some sudoku-type logic using the given rows, and some old fashioned process of elimination. It took me about ten minutes to do numbers 1,2,4,5, & 6, but for some reason #3 took me about ten minutes on its own.
