  • Two puzzles in one: a self-avoiding 3-D knight's tour hitting all 13 towers, over a score chain of +N, ×N and ÷N.
  • Only 12 scores are printed, on an unknown schedule. Working the arithmetic between them pinned the cadence at K = 7.
  • Built an interactive solver instead of brute-forcing: live legal moves, clue checks, and a region audit that kills dead branches early.
  • Certified by a from-scratch verifier, because the tool that finds an answer shouldn't be the one that confirms it.
