What do the Crocodile examples mean?
  • 1 of 10: Suggested Reading: Understanding the Pyramid Puzzles.
  • 2 of 10: This example is different than on other levels.  No men are drawn. There is simply not enough room for that many men on a wall that small.
  • 3 of 10: While studying the wall example, remember the basic rules: The first column is always the least of the grouping and the other columns build upon the first.
  • 4 of 10: You have already learned what dots and dashes signify when placed inside the bottom block and the second block. This example teaches you about numbers in the third block.
  • 5 of 10: A good rule of thumb is that no matter what a dot represents, a bar is a dot multiplied times 5.
  • 6 of 10: Begin by deciphering the first column in the example, using information you already know.
  • 7 of 10: See below if you are having trouble coming up with the answer.
  • 8 of 10: The second column adds one to the first column's total.  And, the third column adds one to the second column's total.
  • 9 of 10: The resulting number in the second column is the key to solving this puzzle.
  • 10 of 10: A single dot placed in the third block equals 400.
