Re: what should volume IV have?

Re: what should volume IV have?
Complete Change of Original Post: Bitwise And : One will have to use Binary, just as one does for Bitwise Or
To have a bit turned on (= 1) represented in the final answer, every number in the cage must have that bit turned on (= 1)
(6,7) & = 6 110 111 110
(2,5) & = 0 010 101 000
(3, 5, 7) & = 1 011 101 111 001

Re: what should volume IV have?
Just wanted to jump in to say that I loved the 0-11 user submitted puzzle, and the -1 through 4 bonus. More "off-script" puzzles please!!!

Re: what should volume IV have?
Getting to it... I'll try to recreate the puzzle (I sent it in so long ago that I've lost the paper ) EDIT: I responded to your email about it... just a mixup of coordinates

What I know so far: puzzle 1 has 48 solutions, puzzle 2 (the one with the bitwise operators) has more than 3000 solutions (don't know the exact number yet). Of these solution sets, exactly one pair needs to be identical.
