Abstract:
[Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of realizing a fill-in-the-blank puzzle that is not found in the prior art and that enables both fill-in-the-blank play using numbers or symbols and drawing play. [Solution] Provided is a puzzle characterized in that: in a base figure configured from a plurality of equilateral triangles of the same size, when an arrangement in a direction in which the sides of the equilateral triangles overlap is referred to as a row, a specific range of numbers or symbols are entered in all equilateral triangles included in each row without duplication; the specific range is N or N+1, where N is the maximum number of equilateral triangles included in each row; and filling the equilateral triangles with a specific color for each number or symbol to be entered results in a pattern being displayed on the base figure. For example, in a fill-in-the-blank puzzle where ten numbers from 0 to 9 are entered in a base figure (101) configured from 42 equilateral triangles, an answer (202) can be obtained for a question (201) if the condition is to use black to fill in equilateral triangles containing odd numbers.
