WSPC Organizer Posts: 739 Location: India | There is a one-page article on Arta Inkala's 'Toughest Sudoku' in today's Mumbai Mirror. I had given it a shot last night and was able to solve it in 21 minutes using guesswork. His challenge to everyone is to find a logical path of solving it, which he says can take weeks! I had given my views and feedback. Those who live in Mumbai can read the article in Mumbai Mirror (page 8). You can also read the article from the e-paper link: http://www.mumbaimirror.com/index.aspx?Page=article§name=News+-... | ||

Posts: 148 Location: France | Well, this puzzle was claimed to be "the toughest" several years ago ; things have changed now and there are lots of harder puzzles available. Anyway, finding a logical way to solve this one is a real challenge. Using guesswork, french player Yannick Meyapin solved it in 15/20 minutes during a competition. Here is a puzzle which is theoretically even more challenging, with or without guesses : . . . | . . . | . 3 9 . . . | . . 1 | . . 5 . . 3 | . 5 . | 8 . . ------+-------+------ . . 8 | . 9 . | . . 6 . 7 . | . . 2 | . . . 1 . . | 4 . . | . . . ------+-------+------ . . 9 | . 8 . | . 5 . . 2 . | . . . | 6 . . 4 . . | 7 . . | . . . (Golden Nugget, one of tarek's puzzles) | ||
