Detailed Solution:
![]() |
Using the only stamp available, we can fill in the two blocks with hints. Their arrangement is unambiguous because the stamp has only one shaded corner square. |
![]() |
Next, in the center vertical tier of blocks, there is one column which is to remain empty. Thus all three stamps in the tier must be aligned the same way. |
![]() |
The bottom two horizontal tiers of blocks, after subtracting the colored squares, now have rows totaling zero. This reveals the position of two more empty blocks. |
![]() |
The top stamp in the right-hand tier still has one square to be colored per column, so its position will have to be determined horizontally. However, the left-hand tier has a column now totaling zero. |
![]() |
The last empty block, working horizontally, now has a row totaling zero, which reveals that stamp's position. |
