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.
