Posts: 40 Location: China | swaroop2011 - 2011-12-20 11:48 PM Somebody please give the steps to solve 1) gapped kakuro - i only got number '6' in the bottom row and 2)sea battle. not getting the start... Acorrding to sum, like 31 in r4c3, we can figure out r56789c3 must have digits. 4 in r8c4 shows r8c68 contain 1 and 3, because of the rule "empty cells cannot be adjacent".  Then  In Col 9, the sum is 10, so only two more cells can have digits.  r79c8 must contain digits.  r7c7?4, r7c8?5, so r7c6 must be blank.  if r8c8=1, then r7c8?8 r7c8+r7c7?12, so r8c8=3, r8c6=1. | ||

Posts: 40 Location: China |  In r9c78 only one can be 9, so r7c7=45, r7c8=56, then r7c9=1->r7c7=4, r7c8=6... | ||

Posts: 40 Location: China | debmohanty - 2011-12-20 9:37 PM Minfang Lin - 2011-12-20 9:21 PM Thanks so much. We had few new players from China in the last Sudoku test. Lets hope that repeats this time. Someone who needs Chinese translation can download the PDF file here. By the way, I find your new method of translation much interesting. I reckon it is easier than the previous method of copying all images. Only if there is some blank between rule and puzzle image for typing, I can do like this  Do you know the software "HyperSnap"? It's easy to snapshot picture and edit it. | ||

See the picture before it. Remember the rule "empty cells cannot be adjacent", and Col 9 only can have two digits more. | ||

Location: India | greenhorn - 2011-12-23 12:23 AM Maybe this question was answered somewhere before, but I am too lazy to look for it now. In Number Skeleton puzzle does it matter in which direction are the numbers fill in? The IB has also another solution, when you turn it (199, 2X8, 357). Thanks The row/column marking is incorrect here. First row and first column should have been marked. The answer key, in that case, is 199#123 or 123#199.
