Posts: 148 Location: France | A few more help, if needed : ! SPOILER ! Let's have a look at Rossini sudoku : Spoiler: show There is no arrow at the right of 5th row. This means that the 3 corresponding digits cannot be in either ascending or descending order. We already have 5>1 so the cell located between those two must contain a digit which is either smaller than 1 (impossible) or bigger than 5. This digit has to be 8... Now look at Tennisdoku : Spoiler: show The 5th row is again particularly useful. 2, 6, 8 and 9 remain to be placed. There is a ball touching the 3; the only possible score with a 3 is 6-3, so let's put a 6 in R5C2. Then : on the left edge of this cell, there is no ball. So, R5C1 and R5C2 (6) cannot form a valid score. 2, 8 and 9 remain to be placed. 2-6 would be a valid score, as well as 8-6. So, there must be a 9 in R5C1... | ||

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | lucarabino - 2011-01-27 7:09 PM Thanks Ours brun....in TENNISDOKU only few scores were visible (in application and in the pdf)... lucarabino: Yes. In Tennisdoku (as also in Kid sudoku), all scores were not given as clues, as then it would have become too easy. But the grid was solvable with the given clues as the tennis balls provided enough hints. And 59 solvers did solve it. | ||
