Sokoban lessons - Numbers

Then I post a selection of puzzles with "numbers". In my opinion they are the most beautiful and fun to solve. I've tried that are represented different styles, authors and difficulties.

This post complements the previous on "Letters & words".  


You can download this set (except commercial puzzles) here:
