Hello all,

Here with a quick 2 day puzzle, I present to you, KenKen! If you're unfamiliar with KenKen, here is a summary of the rules:

  1. Fill in the numbers from 1-5 (since this is a 5x5 grid).
  2. Do not repeat a number in any row or column.
  3. The numbers in each heavily outlined set of squares--called cages--must combine (in any order) to produce the target number in the top corner using the mathematical operation indicated.
  4. Cages with just one square should be filled in with the target number in the top corner. These are freebies :)
  5. A number can be repeated within a cage, as long as it is not in the same row or column.

Here is a FAQ, if you are still confused: http://www.kenken.com/aboutus_faq.html

Here is an example, if you are still confused: KenKen example from Wikipedia

Here is the puzzle: Puzzle! This one took me a little under two minutes to solve.

Once you have solved the puzzle, enter the 25 digit string (left to right, top to bottom) into this URL to access the prize: http://bit.ly/?????????????????????????


EDIT Wow, I didn't expect such an enthusiastic response! Tomorrow, I will post a bonus puzzle inside of this one. It will be a larger, more difficult kenken grid, probably with a one day time limit. Thanks!

EDIT: What a fustercluck. There are definitely several solutions--all of which now point to the bonus gift--but there are a decent amount of people who have been able to access the puzzle... so it wasn't TOO detrimental to the overall goal. I'll be more careful when selecting future kenkens, and I won't use this puzzle generator anymore. Thanks for your understanding. :)

sooooooo.... does this mean that if we don't have the generator-approved answer, we're SOL, or can we still message you with alternate correct answers for the link

edit i ask because i sent a request a while ago, and wasnt sure if you were just overwhelmed, or if me requesting through the steam mobile app (not on a computer that can load steam atm) is causing a problem

I have four acceptable answers as functioning links. If yours is not among them, message me on steam (I don't think I got one from you) and I'll review it. Thanks for your patiences
