Originally trying to design pictures that could be created by turning the lights on or off in the windows of skyscrapers, Ishida soon realized that the same principle could used as the basis for a new genre of logic puzzle. Since then, enigmatologists around the world have wasted hours <a href='http://www02.so-net.ne.jp/~kajitani/cgi-bin/pbn.cgi/index.html'>solving them online</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0812923847/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">completing entire books</a> of these elegant brainteasers. tag:metafilter.com,2002:site.20335 Thu, 26 Sep 2002 10:15:42 -0800 Griddlers Nonograms puzzle puzzles Shadowkeeper
