![]() Diagonal Vision Author Posts: 337 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Switzerland | xevs - 2012-03-01 4:43 PM In battle arrow sudoku, it seems that "all possible arrows IN NON-CLUED CELLS are shown". Is that right? No, it's not right. All possible arrows are shown. But don't forget that there is an arrow only if a digit repeats EXACTLY ONCE in a given direction. If a digit repeats twice or more, there is no arrow. The fact that there is no arrow in clued cells on the example grid is only for aesthetic reasons. Fred | ||

From now my keyboard is slightly slanted, I walk in a zig-zag, cross the street only diagonally and please tell everyone who see me in the car these days to slow down.

WSPC Organizer Posts: 739 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: India | I find it convenient when the diagonal lines of Anti Diagonal are given. It doesn't matter much but maybe if others prefer it too, it could be added. Looking forward to a 'sudoku' test (after more than a month). | ||

Odd Even & Twisted Classics (SM 16/17) Author Posts: 460 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: India | First of all... great looking grids Fred.... will be nice to make a comeback to LMI test with your test.... And here is some news for solvers which is not related to this test!!! Adobe PDF Reader X is the new free product from Adobe. It allows you to add text directly to a pdf. People like me who have printer issues can now open the pdf and solve directly instead of creating grids or pasting in ms paint and then solving. The link for download is added below. I know that LMI already has an online interface for sudoku. But this is helpful for puzzle tests and other sudoku competitions around the globe where printing is needed. Hope this is helpful to ppl.

Grids were hard enough ! I didn't to try to make them harder ![]() Last time we authored a test at LMI ( http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/?test=M201103S ) nobody achieve to finish all the grids correctly in time, so this time I hope it'll not be the case ![]() Untouch sudokus that I posted on my blog last week were initially planned as 13th grid for this test: http://sudokuvariante.blogspot.com/search/label/Untouch (untouch N°1 for the IB and untouch N°2 for the test).

All players can answer the poll in the beginning of this thread. From my point of view it does not matter, but as I don't play, I'll not answer the poll. Rohan, I noticed that anti-diagonal that are on your blog have no diagonal lines given ![]() Fred | ||

2021 World Sudoku+Puzzle Convention Organizer Posts: 1844 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: India | Should've kept "no" and "does not matter" as two separate options in the poll, now the people who wanted it might get out voted by people to whom it didn't matter. Of course this is in hindsight, it just struck me. | ||

![]() Diagonal Vision Author Posts: 337 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Switzerland | As there is a big majority in the poll who said that it were not better to have marked diagonal in the anti-diagonal sudoku (or it does not matter) , I'll not add them. Sorry for the 7 people who voted for marked diagonals in the anti-diagonal sudoku, I hope you'll have fun solving this grid despite that. Fred | ||

Fred I just find it handier to know any marked diagonal means different digits. | ||

After that, either just look at the 9s and think hard about the possibilities with the queen rule, or find another way and tell me as well ![]() | ||

Prasanna is right, you must study the 9's and try to find a contradiction. I think it's the only possibility to crack this grid. For example, if you try to put a 9 in R6C1, then you have a 9 in R9C3 (only option is that box), then it has to be in R8C9 (only option in this row), then in R4C7 and then you cannot place a 9 in column 8. So you know that R6C1 is not a 9, and then it becomes easier to finish the grid. (queen_swaroop.png) Attachments ---------------- ![]() | ||
