In each issue this week we will feature a pair of number/symbol puzzles, an easy one here on page two, and a harder one on the inside back cover; and, a word puzzle at the bottom of this page. In all of these puzzles, you will be able to solve them without guesswork, by logical deductions alone, which is what we're all trying to do at the table. Today's puzzle is called Towers. We start with a grid of squares again, this time with hint numbers on all four sides. Grid sqaures contain buildings of varying heights, from one (lowest) to grid size (highest). As with Sudoku and other similar puzzles, there is one building of each height on each row and column. The hint numbers on the sides tell you how many buildings you can see from that point, looking along the row or column, unobstructed by other buildings. You cannot see past a higher building to a smaller one behind, of course. Can you figure the height of each building from these clues alone? The easy version is above. Hints, and a more difficult puzzle will appear on page 23. Answers will appear in tomorrow's Daily Bulletin. Word puzzles this week are from an app called Unolingo. It is a crossword without clues! There are exactly 26 blanks to fill in, and each letter of the alphabet fills one of the blanks. The puzzles are designed so that only common English words are used; there are no unfamiliar, arcane centuries-old words found only in crossword puzzles. You'll do best by looking for the locations of the hard letters first: QU, X, J. Be sure to mark off the letters used in the checking area beside the grid to keep track of your progress. It's not as difficult as it seems! I did most of these in 3-6 minutes. A list of words in the puzzle (in alphabetical order) is on page 1 7. If you need a more limited hint, ask someone to examine the word list and tell you if the list contains, for example, a six-letter word starting with D and ending in E.

(NOTE: You are eligible for this list if you were a non-LM at the start of the tournament, according to our records.) 201 5 Penticton Regional Daily Bulletin THURSDAY Edition Towers Hints Introductory Puzzle on Page 2 Towers recap: Each grid square contains a building with a height from 1 to grid size, with no duplicates in rows or columns. The hint numbers on the outside (not many of those in the harder one on this page!) tell you how many buildings are viewable from that spot, looking along that row or column. Smaller buildings behind larger ones cannot be seen and are not included. Towers hints: Hint numbers that are ‘1 ’s mean that the nearest building has blocked out the rest in that row or column, and therefore must be the highest height possible for that grid. If you can see all of the buildings in a row or column, they must be arranged in numerical order from lowest to highest. Now can you do the easy puzzle on page 2? How about the more difficult one on this page? Also, check the word puzzle on page 2. Answers will appear in tomorrow's issue. The number/symbol puzzles were generated by software available (for all computers or smartphones) at this site — www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ — where you will find over three dozen types of such puzzles and controls to suit any size and difficulty level.

Side Games can be entered at any time and carry no obligation to play in any other games in the series. All events are stratified by the average masterpoint holding of a pair or team, but all members of the pair or team must be under the event limit (if there is one), even if the average “just fits.” Bridge By The Beach THURSDAY Edition Bridge By The Beach is the Daily Bulletin of the 201 5 Penticton Regional, at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, a short walk from the beach at Okanagan Lake. The tournament is Canada’s largest and most enjoyable Regional, with events of all types for players of all levels, and excellent hospitality. The word ‘Penticton’ came from a local native language, meaning “permanent place where waters pass by.” Bridge By The Beach editor: Bruce McIntyre (Burnaby BC) e-mail: ooga@shaw.ca I welcome news, stories, photos, interesting deals, and other material for Bridge By The Beach , and I’ll print as much as I can—from experts, intermediates, and novices alike. I will be available for digital photos of overall winners in all strats following each evening session in the office near the north end entrance. You’ll be able to find me preduplicating boards for pair games in the office during the afternoon and evening sessions—but my time may be limited. If you send me a photo by e-mail, be sure to tell me the event, and left-to-right names. Each edition of Bridge By The Beach is posted online by breakfast time. There are at least three places where results are posted, and there is a separate spot for photos taken at the tournament. The District 1 9 web site d19.org used to be the hub for all of this online activity, but the untimely passing of Randy Corn last December has slowed the District site down a bit. For this tournament, I am posting and updating a page of links at this ‘tiny URL’: ti n yu rl . com /d 1 9 pen t2 01 5 This one short address will give you one-click access to all sites that are providing coverage for this tournament, explaining what each site offers and letting you know when things are posted. Bulletin links will be there as well for those who like to read the Daily Bulletin with breakfast!
