WSPC Organizer Posts: 739    Location: India | utkaarsh - 2011-12-15 9:07 PM I was solving the IB exmaples and found Windoku sample a tough one, took more than 10 minutes, just wanted general opinion on its difficulty, if some top solvers can share thier timing !! I would not say it is easy for an average solver, but I've seen ones that are a lot tougher than this one. Took me around 8 minutes for this one (and solvable logically, without a need for guesswork), but I am not a 'top solver' in Windoku :-) I hope you use the Windoku 'extra-regions' rule: (Each set of same-coloured cells contains numbers 1-9 apart from the nine 3x3 boxes and four 3x3 regions) Edited by Rohan Rao 2011-12-16 1:46 PM (Windoku Grid.png) Attachments ----------------  Windoku Grid.png (4KB - 5 downloads) | ||

 Diagonal Vision Author Posts: 337 Location: Switzerland | swaroop2011 - 2011-12-16 6:01 PM can somebody help me out with NEIGHBOURS i only got one number 5 at R8C8 and thats it.. No further clues to proceed accept some pencil markings.. In the 9th box: you have a pair 28 next to the 5 (edges). Then at R9C7 in can only be 4 or 7. Then you can place the 1 in row 8 (considering that there isn't edge between R9C67, then 4 can't be placed at R9C6  ). You can place 1 and 4 in 8th box, then the 9 in row 8, etc... I like how the N=3 works (I think that perhaps I'm the inventor of this variant?): You have to "think" digits into 3 groups: 1-4-7, 2-5-8 and 3-6-9. And in these groups 4, 5 and 6 play a central role. Each N has it's own logic, perhaps you have to think about it for each N before the test  Fred | ||
