 Diagonal Vision Author Posts: 337   Location: Switzerland | Rohan Rao - 2012-03-02 9:33 AM 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). 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  . But I can add them if a majority of players want, there is no problem for me. Fred | ||

Google search for Anti Diagonal Sudoku showed this link at the top - http://rohanrao.blogspot.in/2010/03/rules-of-anti-diagonal-sudoku.h... Yes, but we must admit that this guy, Mister Rohanrao Blogspot, doesn't look very serious ! Does anybody know him ?  | ||

I am thereby attaching a photo of how much i was able to solve(logically). I dont want to solve it by guess as this is the practice puzzle.. I got through this one by a complex work through of where the 9s can and can't be, first of all I'd suggest you put the 8 in R1C1, as the 5-7 pair take up the below row and the 9 in the middle omits a 9 in either of the main diagonals. 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 ---------------- queen_swaroop.png (19KB - 4 downloads) | ||

Funnily enough my most significant steps in improving in Sudoku tests have come after I've started concentrating on puzzles. I'll just keep doing what I've been doing. | ||
