Odd Even & Twisted Classics (SM 16/17) Author Posts: 460 Location: India | Administrator - 2010-08-10 10:22 AM Announcement - About Sudoku#17 Sudoku# 17 is a twin sudoku (Classic + Irregular having same solution ) . However, it does not have any givens. After solving Puzzle 1 to 16, you have to copy 20 digits to Sudoku#17 and start solving. If you have any questions, please post here. The grid for puzzle seventeen has numbers 1 to 20, which I assume will be the clues to be transferred. but will the same numbering be used in the actual puzzles too for transfer? | ||

Location: India | Gotroch - 2010-08-10 2:40 PM Is it possible to solve classic puzzles in relay without transfering digits? I'm not sure if I understand your question properly. Here is how it will work. CR = Classic Relay CR1 will have 4 cells with grey circles. CR2 will have 4 cells white circles. After solving CR1, you need to transfer the digits in these 4 grey circles to the 4 white circles in CR2. CR2 will have 4 cells with grey circles. CR3 will have 4 cells white circles. After solving CR2, you need to transfer the digits in these 4 grey circles to the 4 white circles in CR3. . . . So on . . CR7 will have 4 cells with grey circles. CR8 will have 4 cells white circles. After solving CR7, you need to transfer the digits in these 4 grey circles to the 4 white circles in CR8. CR8 will not have any grey circles. Hope that clarifies. Gotroch - 2010-08-10 2:40 PM If you don't transfer the digits from CR1 to CR2, you will find multiple solutions to CR2. Is it possible to solve classic puzzles in relay without transfering digits? | ||

Posts: 40 Location: China | You can determine digits' position by logic, don't worry about this. It's the first time we do this kind of relay, so they're easy to determine, eg: {1234} from previous puzzle, and in next puzzle the mark cell already have {123} in its peer cells, so this cell must be 4. but, no all like this :) if you make the wrong place, you will find no solution for the puzzle, or if you haven't decide all marked cells, you will find multiple solution. | ||

WSPC Organizer Posts: 739 Location: India | Tough set. The puzzles were really nice, especially since I like Match-Makers puzzles. I liked the concept of transfering digits without knowing directly which one goes where, it makes the relay concept more complete :-) Looking forward to results and feedback of others. | ||

Posts: 328 Location: India | It can never be worse. First did a mistake in Puzzle No 7 and then carried forward the digits to spoil Puzzle No. 8. In short screwed........... | ||

Posts: 1 Location: United States | Great set of puzzles. Awfully difficult. I'm glad I was able to participate this time around. Can't always have 2 hours straight to do puzzles, but when I do, it's always FUN! Everyone at LogicMastersIndia should be commended. Your mock tests and other puzzle sets are typically high quality stuff. Thanks! -Allen | ||

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | Overall a nice set of sudokus. The objective was to make Niulang and Zhinv meet, however, both got lost somewhere. The matchmaking logic was beautiful, and unfolded very logically. | ||
