Post subject: | NC Killer X 6 Ortho or Diag |
NC Killer X 6 Ortho or Diag Para recently published a puzzle pair (Inside and Outside Sudoku) on his website: http://puzzleparasite.blogspot.com/ (For outside the clues apply in the first three cells and for inside in cells 2,3,4) I decided to try to create something similar: a killer using standard (orthogonal) non-consecutive and then fers (diagonal) non-consecutive. It is X. The black cages are standard non-repeat killer. The red cage has a single repeat. Solve it as a standard (orthogonal) non-consecutive first (easier). Then solve it as a fers (diagonal) non-consecutive. (harder - but probably not assassin level). JSCode for the killer cages: 3x3:5:k:7169:7169:8:9:11:12:13:4355:4355:7169:7169:14:15:16:17:18:4355:4355:3334:19:20:21:22:23:24:25:26:3334:27:28:29:30:31:32:33:34:3334:3594:35:36:37:38:39:40:41:3334:3594:42:43:44:45:46:47:48:3591:4612:4612:49:50:51:52:53:54:3591:4612:4612:3589:3589:3589:3589:7170:7170:55:56:57:58:59:60:61:7170:7170: Ortho NC Sol: 851396247 693742815 247518639 724185963 369427581 185963724 518639472 936274158 472851396 Diag NC (Fers) Sol: 893257641 652841739 741639825 174365982 289174563 365982174 936528417 527416398 418793256 |

Very ingenious! I found the diagonal NC at least assassin level. Here is a WT for that. NC Killer 6 - Diag: |

The standard NC version is straightforward, probably about the level of newspaper killers plus NC. Here is walkthrough for NC Killer X 6 Ortho: Rating Comment: |

As HATMAN said the Fers diagonal version is quite a bit harder. My first five steps were fairly straightforward, then I had to think harder how to continue until I found where to start nibbling away at candidates but nothing technically harder than FNC and CPE, so my solving path wasn't as hard an modern Assassins. wellbeback and I did those later stages in fairly similar ways; confirming my thought when I did my step 6 that this puzzle has a fairly narrow solving path.
