The Battleship puzzle (sometimes called Bimaru, Solitaire Battleships or Battleship Solitaire) is a logic puzzle based on the Battleship guessing game. It and its variants have appeared in several puzzle contests, including the World Puzzle Championship, and puzzle magazines, such as ''Games'' magazine. Solitaire Battleship was invented in Argentina by Jaime Poniachik and was first featured in 1982 in the Argentine magazine Humor & Juegos. Battleship gained more widespread popularity after its international debut at the first World Puzzle Championship in New York City in 1992. Battleship appeared in Games magazine the following year and remains a regular feature of the magazine. Variants of Battleship have emerged since the puzzle's inclusion in the first World Puzzle Championship. Battleship is played in a grid of squares that hides ships of different sizes. Numbers alongside the grid indicate how many squares in a row or column are occupied by part of a ship. == History == The solitaire version of Battleship was invented in Argentina in 1982 under the name Batalla Naval, with the first published puzzles appearing in 1982 in the Spanish magazine ''Humor & Juegos''. Battleship was created by the magazine's founder, Jaime Poniachik, along with its editors Eduardo Abel Gimenez, Jorge Varlotta, and Daniel Samoilovich. After 1982, no more Battleship puzzles were published until 1987, when they appeared in ''Juegos Para Gente De Mente'', a renamed version of ''Humor & Juegos''. The publishing company of Juegos Para Gente de Mente regularly publishes Battleship puzzles in its monthly magazine ''Enigmas Lógicos''. Battleship made its international debut at the first World Puzzle Championship in New York in 1992 and met with success. The next World Puzzle Championship in 1993 featured a variant of Battleship that omitted some of the row and column numbers. Battleship was first published in ''Games'' magazine in 1993, the year after the first World Puzzle Championship. Other variants later emerged, including Hexagonal Battleship, 3D Battleship, and Diagonal Battleship. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battleship (puzzle)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
