#422: Broken Chains
uploaded on 7/28/23
This puzzle is based off a type called Brain Chain which is seemingly impossible to look up the rules to due to a board game of the same name. The goal is to start with the number on the left and apply the operations in the row from left to right to reach the final number. For example, in the diagram below, the first row as it appears would be (((((6÷1)-19)x5)-17)+5)= -77.
However, to complicate the puzzle, the columns were torn apart and rearranged to make the nice pattern along the major diagonal. When the columns are put back together in the correct order, every row should end its calculation on a nice whole number, as is conventional for the puzzle books Brain Chain has appeared in.
