How to Solve Skyscraper Puzzles

Each Skyscraper follows basic Sudoku rules: every number from 1 to n (where n is the width of the puzzle) must exist in each row and column, and no number can repeat in any row or column. Each number represents a building (skyscraper) with that many floors. The numbers on the outside edge of each row/column tell you how many of those skyscrapers you would see from that position if they existed in three-dimensional space.

As an example: in a row of skyscrapers 2-1-4-3, the outside indicator on the left would be 2, since from that position the single-story building would be obscured by the two-story building in front of it, and the three-story building would be obscured by the four-story building, leaving only two visible buildings. The right indicator would also be 2 since from the right position you would see only the three- and four-story buildings (the one- and two-story buildings would be obscured).

Each puzzle has one unique solution that can be reached using only spatial logic and reasoning. Good luck!
