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 | ||

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 This grid is perhaps a bit hard for the instructions booklet. 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) | ||

Funnily enough my most significant steps in improving in Sudoku tests have come after I've started concentrating on puzzles. I'll just keep doing what I've been doing. | ||
