Re: Maya Cosmic Number Puzzles
I used pen & paper. Although each step in the solve was easy, those steps are hard to spot. I needed to make lots of annotations, and it is easy to make so many that it becomes a big unreadable mess.

Re: Maya Cosmic Number Puzzles
The easiest way is to take a column or row, figure out what is needed for the first digit, do the same for the second digit, and then figure out what combinations are allowed. Sometimes there is a first digit that can only be combined with one of the second digits.
Try this. It should make it a little less messy.

The spoiler is correct. That is why this is only a simple example. This puzzle is made from a self-orthogonal Latin square.
