7. Battleships

Can ships cover up numbers? (that is, are numbers also considered water)?

Also, the rules mention that ships cannot touch diagonally -- what does it mean for ships to touch diagonally?

Ships cannot cover the numbers.

Thanks for pointing out the issue related to diagonal touching which does not make sense in a pyramid shaped grid. Here is the correct rules:
Ships segments belonging to different ships cannot be placed in adjacent cells.

Both of these questions will be addressed in the Q & A.

11. Pyramid

For a row that has a shaded cell, is it guaranteed that all cells in the row will be shaded? Or is it possible for only some cells in a row to be shaded?

For the Pyramid puzzle, it is guaranteed that if a row has a shaded cell then all the cells in that row will be shaded.

Is it guaranteed that the pyramid can be solved uniquely without information from the puzzle?

There is exactly one unique overall solution for this round.

Sorry, that doesn't quite answer my question. The question is, can the pyramid puzzle be assembled by itself with just face-matching, or are solving the puzzles necessary to figure out the pyramid assembly?

In the cave example puzzle, should the 4 be a 5?

And the 4 in Linesweeper should be a 2?

Sorry, the clue is misplaced, the '4' should've been in R5C5.
