This tiny puzzle mixes two simple number properties to get a nice interaction between them. Consider a collection of numbers to be "balanced" if it has the same number of odds as evens. This puzzle uses clues based around the maximum of a group of numbers together with whether that group is balanced.

It is surprising that you can create a solvable puzzle with that little information. I'll give it a go. Is any negative information inferred for the corners without clues? |
