Hitoshii puzzles are a fun mix of su-doku solving skills and simple maths. If you like solving su-dokus can add, subtract, multiply and divide you'll love our new puzzle magazine and book.
How to solve: In the puzzle above the numbers 1-4 have to appear in each row and column. Contained within the blue lines is the result of the sum shown to the right of the total. Therefore 6x, for example, can only be 2x3, and 2x must be 2x1.
