Posts: 329 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : India | neerajmehrotra posted @ 2010-03-19 11:16 PM @ Gotroch Pan Digital: Apply standard sudoku rules for the digits 1 to 9. For each group of shaded areas use this rule: First two rows of add up to the number formed on the third row. In these areas numbers can be repeated. What does the last line mean..............In these areas numbers can be repeated. Since if the numbers are repeated then the standard sudoku rules do not apply............please clarify Edited by neerajmehrotra 2010-03-19 11:18 PM |

Posts: 83 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : Czech Republic | Gotroch posted @ 2010-03-19 11:30 PM They can't be repeated in the booklet example, as the shaded 3x3 areas in example perfetcly cover standard sudoku 3x3 boxes. In competetive puzzle, placement of these areas will be different so it will allow repeating of digits. |

Posts: 4 Country : United States | jwilsonian posted @ 2010-03-20 3:42 AM Hello, I am confused with regards to the Relay in section 1 of the Instruction booklet. I solved the first puzzle, but then none of the 3x3 blocks fit in the second puzzle. Can you please clarify what it is I am supposed to do exactly? Thanks! A cursory examination of submitting a row from puzzle 3 into 4 also shows that none are possible, even before I solve. Confused... |

A cursory examination of submitting a row from puzzle 3 into 4 also shows that none are possible, even before I solve. Confused... You can change position of the transfered element. So for example You can transfer top left corner 3x3 block from one puzzle to bottom right corner (or any of possible nine positions) of second puzzle Edited by Gotroch 2010-03-20 3:58 AM |
