Additionally, ensure that the sums indicated by the arrows on the board match the total of the dice faces covered by the pieces in that area.
3. Step 3: Find the Solution. There is only one correct solution for each challenge. Once all pieces are placed correctly and all conditions are met, you have solved the puzzle. If you encounter difficulty, solutions are provided at the end of the Challenge Booklet.
