Worked example
Read each row left to right. Find how the first two patterns relate to the last, then check the other complete row. Erase from the first pattern the black positions also black in the second. Order matters.
1. Erase from the first pattern the black positions also black in the second. Order matters. → E
- Read one problem and its conditions before starting. Work without a timer, and keep the key visible where the task requires it.
- Erase from the first pattern the black positions also black in the second. Order matters. Check every black cell. Use a rule that fits both complete rows, rather than choosing by resemblance.
- Erase from the first pattern the black positions also black in the second. Order matters. Step 1 uses sparse patterns, step 2 adds overlap, and step 3 uses denser patterns. The incomplete row changes too.
