Here is an improved version, and with full explanations. The original problem was posted by @Frank Kampas and was about solving the following KenKen: The goal of the puzzle (as seen above) is to fill the squares with numbers such that the mathematical operators and the solution match for each group of cells (outlines with dark lines). In …
