Classics & Regions (PR 2016/17) Author Posts: 170 Location: Germany | That was fun, and quite a rush to get Déjà Vu 3 out in the last couple seconds after I spent way too much time figuring out the rule. I also had a bit of trouble with Déjà Vu 2 since original triples also satisifed some regularity in the differences (1-2-3 or 2-4-6), but the bottom left corner of the puzzle ruled that out quickly. Great concept and execution! (The feedback form is a bit broken, the question for favorite puzzles offers score accuracy responses.) | ||||||||||||

Posts: 225 Location: Thailand | Oof. Its one of those tests where you blaze through all but one puzzle and end up fumbling aimlessly for that last answer. Nonetheless, it was a fun diversion from the usual. Thanks! | ||||||||||||

Thanks David for the extremely fascinating puzzles ! I had great fun solving the set.Being super bad at puzzles without instructions(a mere 125 points at WSC instructionless round) it took me a hell lot of time to figure out the rules and breaking a 12 pointer towards the end of the solve after having deduced the rules derailed me unfortunately).But, nevertheless, I enjoyed this fun weekend contest ! | ||||||||||||

Exceptional test.Had a frustrating blind eye in Deja vu 4 for the consecutive shaded cells logic,which i couldn't spot after staring at the AK for so long.Favourites are Deja Vu 5,2 and No 4 in a grow. Thanks to David Mcneill for this superb set. | ||||||||||||

Nice contest - and although I found the anti-knight brutal, I suspect that's just me missing a trick | ||||||||||||

Posts: 49 Location: France | This is a very nice set of sudoku, thank you David ! I had the most trouble with the diagonal but managed it in the end. I didn't get the Déjà Vu 3 rule, can someone enlighten me ? | ||||||||||||

If you want a hint, one of the instruction booklet examples was similar. If you want to be spoiled, addition of two digit numbers by row/column. | ||||||||||||

Location: India | gurjot - 2018-10-04 4:53 PM Sorry, I did not understand the deja vu concept. Can someone please elaborate? You have already participated but Deja vu concept is as below: - There is an extra constraint in each Déjà Vu puzzle which has already been seen in an earlier sudoku. - The shaded squares in the Déjà Vu puzzle are in exactly the same arrangement as an earlier sudoku. - The constraints are exhibited by the given digits and might be easier to spot before solving the puzzles. - Other than that, solve like a classic sudoku. This is already explained in the IB too. | ||||||||||||

Posts: 22 Location: United Kingdom | A mixture of frustrating and enjoyable for me - the five standard puzzles all solved very nicely, I felt, and after having solved all of them, as well as the first two Deja Vu puzzles, I spent over 25 minutes (!) staring at the remaining grids without making any progress, trying to work out the other three Deja Vu rules. After far too long, I found the rule for Deja Vus 3 and 4, which were my favourite puzzles in the set to solve. I still have no idea about the rule for Deja Vu 5, so I'd appreciate it if someone could enlighten me! EDIT: I see it now. Doh... Edited by Feadoor 2018-10-08 6:39 PM | ||||||||||||
