Kenken Cages
1. The problem involves understanding the KenKen puzzle cages and their target results with given arithmetic operations.
2. Each cage is a group of cells with an indicated operation and a target number which the numbers in the cage must combine to equal.
3. For the top-left cage labeled "3×" covering a 2x2 block, the product of those four cells is 3.
4. The "16×" cage requires the product of its cells to be 16.
5. The single cell cage with "3" simply contains the number 3.
6. The cage labeled "3−" means the difference between the two cells equals 3.
7. In the third row's first column cage "24×", the product of its cells is 24.
8. The cage labeled "8+" means the sum of its cells is 8.
9. The bottom-right corner cell labeled "2" contains the number 2.
10. To solve, assign numbers 1 to 4 in each row and column without repeats, respecting the cage operations.
This describes the structure and meaning of each cage in the KenKen puzzle.
