Case: Silhouette

Clue of 1

When we have a clue of 11, we know the tallest skyscraper NN must lie immediately in front of that clue.

1
5
51

Since we can only see 1 skyscraper, it has to be the tallest one blocking all the rest. If it were anything else, we’d be able to see the tallest skyscraper behind it as well.

This is usually the first kind of deduction you make at the start of skyscrapers, when locating the NN skyscrapers.
