    The document describes the puzzle game "Skyscrapers", where the objective is to place skyscrapers of different heights in a grid so that no two in the same row or column are the same height, and the number of visible skyscrapers from each clue matches the clue value. A 5x5 example is provided where skyscrapers are placed in stages - first by the clue with the highest value, then descending, blocking line of sight appropriately.

    摩天大樓 Skyscrapers

    Skyscrapers is a building placing puzzle based on an NxN grid with some clues along its sides. The
    object is to place a skyscraper in each square, with a height between 1 and N, so that no two skyscrapers in a
    row or column have the same number of floors. In addition, the number of visible skyscrapers, as viewed
    from the direction of each clue, is equal to the value of the clue.
    In the example below, we have a 5x5 Skyscrapers puzzle with five columns and five rows. We now
    need to place 1-floor to 5-floor skyscrapers in each row and column according to the above rules

    Below is a 3-D graph. There is a skyscraper in each square. The numbers outside the grid show the
    number of visible skyscrapers viewed from the direction of each clue. Note that higher skyscrapers block the
    view of lower skyscrapers located behind them.

    (The highest skyscraper blocks the view of the remaining buildings.)
