How Landmarks works
Each row and each column must contain every tower height from 1 to N exactly once (a Latin square). Looking in from an edge, a tower is visible if it is taller than all towers before it. The edge number is the SUM OF THE POSITIONS of the visible towers, counting 1, 2, 3 ... inward from that edge. Example row [2,1,4,3] from the left: position 1 (height 2) is visible; position 2 (height 1) is hidden; position 3 (height 4) is visible; position 4 (height 3) is hidden. Left clue = 1 + 3 = 4. Note: adding the heights would give 2+4=6 — that is the Sumtowers puzzle. Landmarks adds the POSITIONS. Every puzzle has exactly one solution.
