is there a "dark rule" on Odd Sum Pair?
What you meant by dark rule ?
I assume if what you meant is that "All Odd Sum Pair's are given" then answer is "NO". i.e. there is no converse rule.
And same is the answer for Odd Even Count, no converse rule applicable. i.e. not all circles are given. |

Location: Thailand | Great test.
I found the 6x6 quite tough in Quadro and Odd-Even count.
Favourite: Odd-Sum Pair
Wasted 5 minutes to get printer working properly :(
Though I think everyone has their share of printer-horror stories.

Very nice set.
For the 6x6 No Even Neighbours, I directly filled the 5 remaining cells of the answer key (3rd row) without putting any other digit :-) |

The main problem was the answer keys, because there were few sudokus where I filled less than half cells. It's perfect competition for the beginners, although I found the last puzzle very very uncomfortable to solve (quite hard). So, it matches the idea about not to put too hard puzzles there, just you need to use a bit more narrow solving paths or just work more with where to putt the andwer keys. |
