Posts: 69 ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : Germany | Realshaggy posted @ 2012-04-11 6:55 PM It seems like 8 and 3 are still alive too: http://www.logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=000... http://www.logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=000... Hope it's not too far away from the original theme, but there's some specific logic which is the same, and I don't think there are many examples out there for this type.

Posts: 191 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : The Netherlands | Richard posted @ 2012-04-11 8:31 PM Both puzzles were specialties, and inspired by the one of the fivefold sudoku test. Sometimes a 'theme' can be a very simple digit... The first one I made was for the 3rd anniversary of the puzzle portal in Germany, and the second was a bit too hard for the recent German sudoku championship. Maybe they will help in preparation for this killer-test. The way to think yourself into the puzzle might be the same... ![]() |

Posts: 23 ![]() Country : Australia | flk posted @ 2012-04-13 10:35 PM Hey guys I've seen the 0-8 sudoku before but haven't understood the variation - is the purpose simply to throw people off their usual killer sudoku rhythm? Can't you just add one digit per cell to each cage and treat it as a normal killer? Looking forward to the test |

Can't you just add one digit per cell to each cage and treat it as a normal killer? Looking forward to the test Yes, and yes. I don't think it is a variation either, just an attempt at a paradigm shift that is unfortunately more detrimental to online solvers than paper solvers who can "fix" the puzzle. Just be sure to convert back to 0-8 before submitting the answer. Edited by motris 2012-04-14 12:45 AM |

Can't you just add one digit per cell to each cage and treat it as a normal killer? Looking forward to the test If you do that remember to subtract 1 from every digit for the answer key. The Killer from the spring sudoku test and the one I made were both zero killers (unclued areas) and had clear cage sum themes. So maybe it's another similar gimmick. I at first was thinking the greater than killer would have the symbols be between cages (like on killersudokuonline.com) and not between cells. |

Posts: 315 ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : The Netherlands | Para posted @ 2012-04-15 4:10 AM Phew, just managed to submit my answers in time. It was a little bit confusing that the Surprise Killer wasn't named that in the booklet but is named that on the answer key page. It took me a little while to realise the name didn't match the name on the answer key page. But I had actually switched answer pages a few times looking for the right place to put in the answer key. SKnight - 2012-04-14 8:00 PM Hmm... results page isn't showing that anybody has submitted anything, even though people have finished the test, and have actually submitted answers. It's to increase tension. I think it has some old script remembered as it also already shows ratings before I entered them. Edited by Para 2012-04-15 4:19 AM |

Posts: 31 ![]() Country : United States | joshuazucker posted @ 2012-04-15 8:45 AM I think I noticed a typo on the Untouch submission form: the online form says to submit row 5 and row 6 but the arrows on the puzzle say to submit row 5 and column 6. |
