2021 World Sudoku+Puzzle Convention Organizer Posts: 1780 Location: India | Nikola - 2012-03-01 3:30 PM To be well prepared for the test, I have to start to live diagonally. From now my keyboard is slightly slanted, I walk in a zig-zag, cross the street only diagonally and please tell everyone who see me in the car these days to slow down. N ..i ...k .....o .......l ........a M ..e ....t ......o ........o ^^ because my actual name slanted would take far too much space. I'm looking forward to this too. I wonder if Fred has tried the revenge methods we talked about on facebook...  | ||

 Diagonal Vision Author Posts: 337 Location: Switzerland | prasanna16391 - 2012-03-02 12:18 PM I wonder if Fred has tried the revenge methods we talked about on facebook... Haha ! Grids were hard enough ! I didn't to try to make them harder  Last time we authored a test at LMI ( http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/?test=M201103S ) nobody achieve to finish all the grids correctly in time, so this time I hope it'll not be the case  Untouch sudokus that I posted on my blog last week were initially planned as 13th grid for this test: http://sudokuvariante.blogspot.com/search/label/Untouch (untouch N°1 for the IB and untouch N°2 for the test).

Diagonal Vision Author Posts: 337 Location: Switzerland | Rohan Rao - 2012-03-02 9:33 AM I find it convenient when the diagonal lines of Anti Diagonal are given. It doesn't matter much but maybe if others prefer it too, it could be added. Looking forward to a 'sudoku' test (after more than a month). All players can answer the poll in the beginning of this thread. From my point of view it does not matter, but as I don't play, I'll not answer the poll. Rohan, I noticed that anti-diagonal that are on your blog have no diagonal lines given  . But I can add them if a majority of players want, there is no problem for me. Fred | ||

Google search for Anti Diagonal Sudoku showed this link at the top - http://rohanrao.blogspot.in/2010/03/rules-of-anti-diagonal-sudoku.h... Yes, but we must admit that this guy, Mister Rohanrao Blogspot, doesn't look very serious ! Does anybody know him ?  | ||

I am thereby attaching a photo of how much i was able to solve(logically). I dont want to solve it by guess as this is the practice puzzle.. I got through this one by a complex work through of where the 9s can and can't be, first of all I'd suggest you put the 8 in R1C1, as the 5-7 pair take up the below row and the 9 in the middle omits a 9 in either of the main diagonals. After that, either just look at the 9s and think hard about the possibilities with the queen rule, or find another way and tell me as well | ||

Prasanna is right, you must study the 9's and try to find a contradiction. I think it's the only possibility to crack this grid. For example, if you try to put a 9 in R6C1, then you have a 9 in R9C3 (only option is that box), then it has to be in R8C9 (only option in this row), then in R4C7 and then you cannot place a 9 in column 8. So you know that R6C1 is not a 9, and then it becomes easier to finish the grid. (queen_swaroop.png) Attachments ---------------- queen_swaroop.png (19KB - 4 downloads) | ||
