cross other bridges, and must stop when they hit an island. The network must be fully connected -- every island should be reachable from any other island -- but branches and loops are allowed. Once you’ve solved the puzzle, extract a letter and check it on our website below.

BRIDGES The solved image above clearly spells out Einstein’s famous equation for E. This week’s puzzle, also known as hashiwokakero, was invented by the Japanese games publisher Nikoli (also responsible for popularizing Sudoku and many other interesting logic puzzles). The goal is to join all the islands (represented by the numbered circles) with a network of bridges (lines). The total number of bridges out of each island is given by the number in the circle. The bridges may only run orthogonally up-down or leftright, and must continue in a straight line from one island to the next.
