Thread - Sampler Platter

Very, very nice puzzles. I like how the logic flowed in the latter stages even though it looked like it shouldn't.

A feature suggestion for the online submission: give a warning when you haven't filled all the cells you need to (all cells pre-"show cells to fill" time, highlighted cells after clicking "show cells to fill"). I almost missed a region of cells to fill in one of the 6x6 puzzles!

Hi Chris,

The warning feture has not been added on purpose. The purpose is not for a player to only solve it but also to input the answer correctly... If in an actual competition I submit a sudoku with a few blank cells (Which in reality has happened with me plenty of times, including the Indian National Championship this year ), nobody gives me a warning to fill up the blank parts. So in a way we are tying to make people double chk the puzzle to ensure completeness in solving as well as submission.

Especially grids of stage 4 and 5 were nice and it was interesting to solve them. In my opinion, it could have been 2 or 3 more difficult grids to settle best players otherwise than bonus time. Fred
