Hard Puzzles Book - Hitori,Minesweeper,Straights,Suguru - 200 Hard Puzzles

Hitori Hitori is played with a grid of squares or cells, with each cell initially containing a number. The objective is to eliminate numbers by blacking out some of the squares until no row or column has more than one occurrence of a given number. Additionally, black cells cannot be adjacent, although they can be diagonal to one another. The remaining numbered cells must be all connected to each other. Minesweeper Place the given number of mines into empty cells in the grid such that the numbers in the grid represent the number of mines in the neighboring cells, including diagonal ones. Straights The solver is given a 9x9 grid, partially divided by black cells into compartments. Each compartment, vertically or horizontally, must contain a straight - a set of consecutive numbers, but in any order. For example: 7, 6, 4, 5 is valid, but 1, 3, 8, 7 is not. Like sudoku, the solver must fill the remaining white cells with numbers 1 to 9 (or 1 to n in puzzles with N cells per side) such that each row and column contains unique digits. Whereas Sudoku has the additional constraint of 3x3 boxes, in Str8ts rows and columns are divided by blacks cells. Additional clues are set in some of the black cells - these numbers remove that digit as an option in the row and column. Such digits do not form part of any straight. Suguru Suguru, also known as Tectonics or Number Blocks, is a Japanese puzzle invented by Naoki Inaba. The goal is to fill a given rectangular grid with numbers, so that every designated area contains a sequence of non-repeating, consecutive numbers, starting from 1 and going up. Also, adjacent (touching) cells should not contain the same number, even diagonally.
