Battleship (Puzzle)The Battleship puzzle is a type of puzzle game somewhat based on the Battleship guessing game. It and its many variants often appear in puzzle contests, such as the WPC, and puzzle magazines, such as Games Magazine. Description In a square grid of 10x10 small squares, an armada of battleships are located. There is one battleship of 4 squares, two destroyers of 3 squares, three cruisers of 2 squares, and four submarines of 1 square. Each ship occupies a number of contiguous squares on the grid, arranged either horizontally or vertically. The boats are placed so that no boat touches any other boat, not even diagonally. The goal of the puzzle is to discover where the ships are located. To solve it, one is given various clues. The clues are of two forms. Firstly, one can be told, for particular squares in the grid, whether each square contains a submarine, a longer ship (and whether it is the north, south, east, west, or middle of a ship), or water (meaning no ship). Secondly, one can be told, for a row or column of the grid, how many squares are occupied by ships.
