It seems impossible. This is as far as I am in one such puzzle. (Simom Tatham's Towers)

Some of it is going to be guessing at this stage. There are a lot of numbers missing, so you won't know until you take a guess and start filling things out.

Is the "no guessing" thing just a limit you placed on yourself?

I feel like being able to solve with no guessing is proof of a well-designed generator.

He did label the difficulty as "unreasonable". In my mind, it's not meant to be truly fair, just solvable.

Gotcha, true. With that said, though, I could not progress even this far in difficulty in Unequal without guessing...
