Koma
Let's see, what else... I went out shopping with Ryuuko and Nene.
The dorm kitchen. Koma and Ryuuko are staring into a phone and debating something, while Nene is making coffee.
Koma
Are you serious, this dress is way too cute.
Ryuuko
Right? It's from that spring collection I talked about last week.
Koma
I knew it. The colors totally give it away.
Ryuuko
Right?
Nene
I wish someone looked at me the way you two look at cute clothes.
Koma
Hehe.
Ryuuko
Are clothes not your thing at all, Nene?
Nene
Nonsense. I'd marry my hoodie if it was legal.
Ryuuko
Not exactly what I meant, but fair enough.
Koma
I know! We're hitting some shops tomorrow afternoon. How about you come with us, Nene?
Nene
Oh, I actually need to do some shopping.
Nene
Normally I'd refuse while kicking and screaming, but I suppose we can go together.
Ryuuko
Great! We're gonna drag you around fashion stores until you beg for mercy.
(The next day, Koma is on her way downtown. She calls Ryuuko, who was supposed to have already met with Nene earlier.)
Koma
Hey, I'm almost there. Where should we meet up?
Ryuuko
Uh, we're now at the... wait, no, we're going to the... wait, slow down for a second!
Koma
What's going on? Where are you?

Puzzle #4: Cotton and Circuits

  • This type of puzzle is commonly known as "towers" or "skyscrapers".
  • In a 5x5 grid, there are 25 towers differing in height, with 1 being the shortest, and 5 the tallest.
  • Every row and every column must have one tower of each height (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).
  • The numbers along the sides signify how many towers you can see when looking at the corresponding row/column from that spot (taller towers will block the view of shorter ones behind them)
