On the Subject of Understanding Hexiom
So much guessing... There has to be a pattern in these...
The original manual can be found here.
If the defuser is very stuck, here are some hints that the defuser can use to help disarm the module.
Hints
- All numbered tiles adjacent to a 6 must be at least a 3.
- All numbered tiles adjacent to a 5 must be at least a 2.
- All numbered tiles adjacent to a 4 must be at least a 1.
- Count the number of possible connections for a numbered tile in that position, which are surrounding tiles that are either a movable numbered tile, a locked numbered tile, or a tile for placing numbered tiles. If that is less than the number shown on that tile, that numbered tile cannot be placed there.
- 0s cannot be adjacent to locked numbered tiles. This includes when the locked numbered tile is a 0.
- Locked tiles that overlap connecting tiles can enforce specific tiles to be placed within the overlapping tiles.
