Are there any hints to solve Quadro Sudoku. Stuck at practice booklet 6*6 variation.
Hi
I think the trick is to find the cells which can be only odd/ or only even but we don't know the digits yet.
Here are steps which I followed:
1 ) getting 1's - Trivial steps - you get 1 at r1c3,r3c4 and r4c1
2 ) Now lets see which cells have to be odd - r4c2 and r3c5 has to be odd as 2,4,6 can't come there.
3 ) Now notice r2c4 r2c5 r3c4 r3c5 forms quadro and out of which we know three of them are odd and hence r2c4 will be even.
4 ) This implies r2c4 is 2 and r2c6 is 3.
so you can keep putting which cells are known odd or even, which will help to avoid 2*2.
Not giving complete solution as these are few starting steps which will get you started. You can post again in case you are stuck at some point.
Enjoy : ) |

Country : India | Somehow I missed step 3. I started at 9*9 and was able to solve it. After that my eyes could see step 3 in 6*6 and I am able to solve.
Thanks a lot for your efforts and such a nice explaination |

Thanks, Deb !
I knew my black cartridges were empty and that I would have some problems soon.... It was today :( . Fortunately the online solving was enabled. So, tanks for the online solving too :)
I have no idea if I could have made a better time with my plan of solving the 9*9 variants on paper.

Yes, it's planned. My problem is that when my printer tells me that the cartridges are empty, it's far to be true, I can still print a lot of sheets until it doesn't print correctly. So I prefer to wait until it's really empty, hoping there is no sudoku tournament that day ... |
