To answer a question that was asked on http://sudokuvariante.forumactif.com, although I am quite sure of the answer: on this same puzzle, is it allowed that two or more regions each form a magic square? Also, is it allowed to find a magic square somewhere else in the grid, as far as the initial constraint is fulfilled?

Thank you.

Thank you.
At least one 3X3 outlined box is a magic square. Once the initial constraint is fulfilled, there are no restrictions.

Yes, online solving will be enabled.
However, please note that for some sudokus you might need external marking (e.g. Coded Pairs). You cannot do those kind of markings with online solving.

May I ask how we will need to do external marking? Since the sudoku type in question has all necessary markings already given to us in the puzzle.

What I meant was :
In coded pair, you might want to write A = 23 somewhere. If you are solving on paper, taking these notes are obviously easy, but there is no facility to note such things in in online solving.
Similarly you might want to draw a line in Linked Classics between the duplicates rows across the grids.

I have problem with Puzzle "Coded Pair".
In letters C and B, number 1 is common. I want to know that in different letters, all the pair numbers should be different or one them can be equal like the example?
i.e. you mean that only pairs "should not be equal" and if one number in the pair become equal, it is possible.

As replied in above post, 2 letters can have 1 common digit. But both the digits can not be same for 2 letters.

If letter D represents 56(or 65), letter C cannot be 56. Letter C can however be 15 or 26 (or 34) or whatever else.

Here is how you can link you LMI registration and WPF Grand Prix registration (http://www.worldpuzzle.org/sudokugp/).

When you login in the submission page, you will get a pop up window as shown below.



3 options are listed. Choose one of the options and click on Save
Option 1 ) You can specify your email id for WPF registration. (By default your registered email address with LMI is shown. Edit it as needed.)
Option 2 ) You can specify your Nick name for WPF registration. (By default your username at LMI is shown. Edit it as needed.)
Option 3 ) Choose this option if you have not registered at WPF. In that case, we will keep showing the pop up every time you visit the submission page.

Online Solving Enabled

We have now enabled online solving of all the examples. Check the submission page for details.

As noted earlier, the flash online solving will only allow you to mark / unmark 1-9 on the grids. There is no feature to mark anything else.
For Braille Sudoku, the left grid is disabled, and you can solve only on the right grid.

Based on previous LMI tests, we think most players will solve on paper and not use the online solving interface. However, if you are one of those who plan to use online solving, you must practice solving as many examples as you can using the online interface. And if you are already familiar with the flash interface, you should still check it out because the layout of the sudokus is different (and hopefully more friendly) than previous tests.

Hello
I will be on holiday during the competition and if I want to participate I have to solve it online because I am not able to print the sudokus. Can anybody give me some hints for the online solving? How do you erase one number of the pencil marks?

Zalak, in this position you should already know which 6 numbers (out of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) are used in this sudoku 6x6. Have a look at the first row (there are 3 clear numbers - 7, 6 and 9). And then 5th rectangle (there is a quartet 4, 5, 7 and 8). Thus you know that you work only with these numbers in the whole sudoku and some your pencilmarks are needed to be erased :-)

Thanks a lot Nicky!! I was not interpreting the rules correctly. I wrongly assumed that each 2x3 box would have a different set of six numbers.

In Outside Or Skyscraper
Does the each digit outside the grid show the ONLY clue(outside or skyscraper)? Mustn't the each digit match BOTH clues?
