Country : Turkey | bskbri posted @ 2013-06-09 10:59 PM It should not. Actually B should contain digits 3 5 and 4. The last digit is written wrong in the solution. So, the sum of digits in both A and B are 12. |

Country : Switzerland | Fred76 posted @ 2013-06-09 11:14 PM I have a question concerning the puzzle N°19 Psycho Killer:
Will the competition puzzle be a 9*9 classic (with 3*3 boxes) sudoku? The boxes are not shown in the example, and as it's a 6*6 sudoku, it's ambiguous: boxes can be 2*3 or 3*2. Is it part of solving to determine the boxes?
Fred
Edit: in fact boxes are wrong in the solution of the example (some digits are repeated): is it supposed to be an irregular sudoku or a latin square???

Ah right, I just saw A-F to understand the added rule and didn't check the Sudoku bit. |

From instructions: ...place a digit into the grey CELLS...
So there will be more grey cells in the grid? Or just one cell? |

Country : United States | BTroisi posted @ 2013-06-21 1:59 AM For puzzle 6, logidoku, constraint #2 is ambiguous. Please clarify which is intended
- neither A nor E is odd
- the sum of A + E is not odd
It would also have been less confusing if the definitions underneath the sample didn't include the digits 7,8, 9!
Thanks

Country : Turkey | bskbri posted @ 2013-06-21 2:36 AM Constraint 2 in the example states that neither A nor E is odd.
The definitions include digits 1 to 9, because the competition puzzle will be 1 to 9. |

Can you please specify the Sudoku names, which you think is more of a puzzle than a Sudoku? |

Country : Estonia | TiiT posted @ 2013-06-22 3:31 PM Logidoku, Tripod, Searchdoku, Snapshot sudoku, Psycho killer, Irregular sudoku bands, Sudoku blocks. In all of them you first had to solve another puzzle, and then solve sudoku.
Don't get me wrong - these puzzles were great, but just no very suitable in here. We have like 500 solvers in here, but about 30 are able to solve them. But that's just my opinion, which might also be wrong. |
