What is a CryptoPic?
A CryptoPic is a puzzle based on a grid of black and white squares which form a picture, like this:
![]()
Lists of numbers representing the number of black squares are added to
each row and column. Each number represents a group of black squares so, for
example, "3 2" means that on this row there is a group of 3 black squares to
the left of a group of 2 black squares, with one or more white squares in between.
(There must be at least one white square between the groups, or the 3 and 2 would
join up to become a 5). Have a look at the following picture to familiarise yourself with this system.
