Solutions to Perspective Puzzle #1

1. Based on [2], (08) and (07) must be placed in R2. As the numbers are consecutive, they must thus be adjacent.

2. If (08) was placed in (2,2), (09) must be placed in (2,1), based on [1]. However, the puzzle is unsolvable.

3. Thus, (07) must be placed in (2,2), and (08) must be placed in (2,1).

4. This implies that (04) must be placed in (2,3).

5. (09) can be placed in (1,1) or (3,1). However, based on [3], (01) must be placed in R3, and the only possible numbers that can be placed in R3 are (01), (02), and (03). 

6. Thus, (09) must be placed in (1,1).

7. As (06) and (05) cannot be placed in R3, they must thus be placed in R1.

8. This implies that (06) must be placed in (1,2).

9. This implies that (05) must be placed in (1,3).

10. As (04) has to be connected to (03), thus, (03) must be placed in (3,3).

11. This implies that (02) has to be placed in (3,2).

12. This implies that (01) has to be placed in (3,1).
