what about BATTLESHIP SUDOKU?
In Battleship Sudoku, you have to remember that the given digits can't be part of ships (i.e. they are like Water cells in standard Battleships puzzle)
Considering that, it is easy to figure that the 1X3 ship can lie horizontally in row6. It can't lie vertically in Col1 or Col3 (then it is not possible to satisfy Col2).
So, you get 4 at R6C2.
From that it should be easy to determine that the 1X2 ships will be in R1C2C3 and R3R4C1. You should be able to solve it after that.
Apart from the link Rohan mentioned, you should be able get 9X9 Battleship Sudokus from motris' blog
See - http://motris.livejournal.com/79580.html, http://motris.livejournal.com/18608.html,... http://motris.livejournal.com/79580.html

Location: India | i started with that but i only was able to get two numbers 3 and 2 in row 5 and only number '3' in column 5.
other numbers 2 and 5 of column 5 have many possibities(in respect of position as well as numbers used)

Location: India | You also have start marking cells which are black.
There are many openings in this example (you get a 2 sixes at R6C2, R2C6), spend some more time on the example, and you should be able to do it. |

Location: India | It is also useful to solve the basic puzzle type (Japanese sums in this case) first before attacking Japanese Sums + Sudoku. |

Ah! Got it. The outlined regions were a little subtle -- didn't really notice them.
I'm glad I asked -- now I know to look for them on the real test.

Location: Germany | After solving the puzzles in the instructions booklet, I'm looking forward to this a lot. The sample puzzles were very well done, and some were really tricky. So I think we can expect some beautiful puzzles, and fear some very difficult ones. |

You do have a point...puzzle experts definitely have some advantage in this test. |

We had a very similar mock16 last year. While the competition has changed considerably at LMI since then, the results of mock16 suggested that 'puzzle experts' don't really have much advantage. Having solved couple of actual puzzles from the test, I think the 'Sudoku part' is as dominant as in other Sudoku tests. |

Location: Germany | Thank you very much for the nice puzzles!
Unfortunally I made a stupid mistake, and wrote my solution for the Kakuro-Sudoku (small and big) in the answer field for the japanese sums.
Is there a possibility of getting the points anyway? Would be great! |

Location: India | you must be doing some mistake.there is only one solution possible. detailed clarification can be done once the test is over |

Location: India | Thanks Swaroop for clarifying.
rvarun,
1) if you are getting multiple solutions (which I believe is impossible), please submit any of your answers.
2) don't post messages like 'there are multiple solutions or there are no solutions' before you are absolutely certain. It doesn't help anybody, rather it creates confusion. |
