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
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

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. |

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.

It's to increase tension.
I think it has some old script remembered as it also already shows ratings before I entered them.

Country : United States | 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. |

Great Killers, I can easily say, my favorite Sudoku test on LMI, but I guess I'm biased with liking Killers and all.
Thanks Rishi :) |
