If I read again the scyscrapers sudoku rules, they don't say that you must imagine that every cell in the grid is a scyscraper and the number in cell is representing the height of a scyscraper. The person, who haven't solved this type, will be really difficult to understand the rules. That's probably what pavrose wanted to point out. TiiT |

Each page has one Sudoku. 2. Remember that in this test, both diagonals are to be entered. In paper submission, " \ diagonal " refers to top-left to bottom-right diagonal. " / diagonal" refers to top-right to bottom left diagonal. 3. In online mode, diagonals will not be marked by any arrows. 4. Paper only link - http://logicmastersindia.com/M201206S/?paper=1 |

I have a question for you: Which sudoku did you create first? (My guess would be Anti Knight) That would be the obvious guess I think, considering thats the one you can't play with outside/extra clues in. |

I spent a lot of time on a puzzle I was completely stuck in, unfortunately, and while finishing another one I miswrote myself. In one of the diagonals, so that cost me a lot of points. ![]() I am looking forward to solving the other ones later. |

Posts: 148 ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : France | Ours brun posted @ 2012-07-01 2:41 PM Very nice set indeed, thanks Sylvain. It was interesting and quite disturbing to play with the same set of givens on all the puzzles. After having screwed up one, it is quite hard to realize that the next puzzle you will try will look the same. Really interesting sensation, and I felt it multiple times since I screwed up a lot of puzzles. Some pretty logical paths made for a really good test. Now eagerly waiting for Richard's one ! |

Posts: 18 Country : France | caudmont posted @ 2012-07-01 6:07 PM Thanks Scott, Bastien and Yuhei. I'll just say for now that it was a very interesting challenge to create the grids from the same set of figures. |

In this case, there was no need to worry. You made a large number of very creative and challenging puzzles. Merci beaucoup! |

Posts: 10 Country : Canada | WaterlooMathie posted @ 2012-07-03 3:34 AM Nice puzzles with lots of variation. At first I thought the puzzles were only in a PDF file, and after wasting some time trying to figure out if I could work it in paint, I realized that all I had to do was scroll down and solve them on the browser. ![]() |
