  • How to solve advanced kenken

    I don't know if it's endorphins or what, but I get a ''rush'' when I do puzzles. The latest one I'm hooked on is KenKen. I don't think it's possible that things like KenKen and crosswords don't help your brain stay fit. I've made a video about how to start solving a 9x9 KenKen in which the operation signs are not given, as well as a simple x4x ...
