Announcement - About Sudoku#17

Sudoku# 17 is a twin sudoku (Classic + Irregular having same solution ) . However, it does not have any givens. After solving Puzzle 1 to 16, you have to copy 20 digits to Sudoku#17 and start solving.




If you have any questions, please post here.


The grid for puzzle seventeen has numbers 1 to 20, which I assume will be the clues to be transferred. but will the same numbering be used in the actual puzzles too for transfer?

OK. Let me be specific...One jigsaw area has 10 cells and another has 8 cells.

Ouchh... Disabled downloading of the file until the error is fixed.

As has been informed.... classic 8 and the matchmakers will have cells marked with numbers 1 to 20 which need to be transferred to puzzle 17 to solve it.

Is it possible to solve classic puzzles in relay without transfering digits?


I'm not sure if I understand your question properly.

Here is how it will work.

CR = Classic Relay

CR1 will have 4 cells with grey circles. CR2 will have 4 cells white circles.
After solving CR1, you need to transfer the digits in these 4 grey circles to the 4 white circles in CR2.


CR2 will have 4 cells with grey circles. CR3 will have 4 cells white circles.
After solving CR2, you need to transfer the digits in these 4 grey circles to the 4 white circles in CR3.


.
.
.
So on
.
.


CR7 will have 4 cells with grey circles. CR8 will have 4 cells white circles.
After solving CR7, you need to transfer the digits in these 4 grey circles to the 4 white circles in CR8.


CR8 will not have any grey circles.

Hope that clarifies.

If you don't transfer the digits from CR1 to CR2, you will find multiple solutions to CR2.

You can determine digits' position by logic, don't worry about this.
It's the first time we do this kind of relay, so they're easy to determine, eg: {1234} from previous puzzle, and in next puzzle the mark cell already have {123} in its peer cells, so this cell must be 4.
but, no all like this :) if you make the wrong place, you will find no solution for the puzzle, or if you haven't decide all marked cells, you will find multiple solution.

I went through the IB version 2 but could not find the points distribution. When is the points distribution expected to be announced?

Tough set.
The puzzles were really nice, especially since I like Match-Makers puzzles.
I liked the concept of transfering digits without knowing directly which one goes where, it makes the relay concept more complete :-)

Looking forward to results and feedback of others.

It can never be worse. First did a mistake in Puzzle No 7 and then carried forward the digits to spoil Puzzle No. 8.
In short screwed...........

Great set of puzzles. Awfully difficult.
I'm glad I was able to participate this time around. Can't always have 2 hours straight to do puzzles, but when I do, it's always FUN!
Everyone at LogicMastersIndia should be commended. Your mock tests and other puzzle sets are typically high quality stuff. Thanks!

Overall a nice set of sudokus. The objective was to make Niulang and Zhinv meet, however, both got lost somewhere. The matchmaking logic was beautiful, and unfolded very logically.
