Skull puzzle

Does anyone know how the puzzle with the skulls is being played. The one with the stripes and V-shapes? I figuered out that empty stones means that I can safely hit the next tile. Stripes means a skull is close, and V-shape means that a skull is very close, but still... I keep hitting skulls because there are also skulls next to stripes. Is this game just about gambling and being lucky, or not?

If I remember right, the hints meant how many skulls are touching that cell. It's about the number of "I", "I" means than there is one skull in the cells that are close to that one, "V" there are two, and so on.

I hope this will help you :)

Actually, not, as it is about figuring out what those symbols represent, as they are clues to where the skulls are and how many you can expect to find.

It does not work that way: if a V-shape means that there are skulls at two sides of that tile, I would have been able to press the tile where I hit the red skull;

The question is that in this puzzle, unlike the flower one, the diagonals do count.

Let's take a look at your picture. You have a cell with a V, that cell have another 5 cells around it, on those 5 cells there must be 2 skulls, like in fact it is the case :)

And keep in mind that the number of sticks express the number of skulls, but not the direction, so the skulls can be in any of the surrounding cells.

Also spoiler .... Yes, by saying, "where the skulls are", I did mean skulls surround that square, not that the lines point in their direction. The number of lines represent the number of skulls you should be looking for .. I was hoping to give you a hint at solving without giving the whole puzzle away. Ah well ...

Yes, finally!. Thanks Tererete and Simba :)

You are welcome :)
