Surpising easy once you know the way. Surprisingly hard when you don't. But at least you can nibble away rather than being completely stumped from the start. I found it very tough first time. It gets a 1.30. Later, tried changing it to get the ending harder but wasn't happy with it as the V1. Will post that version in a few days as a V1.5.

Thanks for the new Assassin! I'm quite surprised by SudokuSolver's rating as this Killer doesn't need any complicated moves. A311 Walkthrough: Rating: |

Thanks guys for your WTs. You all did way better than me. I checked the SudokuSolver solution and it misses Afmob's step 2a (end), as did I. Giving it that step when it is first available gives 30 less steps which is a lot for a weighted step count method of scoring. Here's the V1.5. Please don't feel the need to post a complete WT. Am just interested in how you guys get started. I used an ugly chain but hoping there is a nice way. The end is very straightforward so boring. I originally thought it was a nice hard ending but it wasn't on the second solve. Missed a hidden single first time. Hence, it never made it as the V1. It gets a 1.60 A311 V1.5 code: paste into solver: Cheers Ed |

Since I didn't have to post the full walkthrough, it made optimizing the start so much faster! But nonetheless, I took me two days to solve this Killer since I tried to avoid chainy moves but in the end I had to use one (step 2e). A311 V1.5 Walkthrough start: Rating: |

Here's mine for V1.5. Not too different from V1.0. Thanks Ed. Hidden Text: |

Thanks Ed for this variant. I was busy with other things for several days, then took some time to find my breakthrough which felt like a 'human solvable' step. It's in the same area as one of wellbeback's steps, but looked at the other way round. Here is my start for Assassin 311 V1.5: Rating Comment: As I commented to Ed, it was only necessary to remove two cages from the A311 grid. When removing cages, at least two cages need to be removed as removing one would just leave a hidden cage. Removing the 15(4) cage at R7C1 makes no difference; it's still there as a hidden cage in C12. |

Great solution Andrew! Easily the easiest to follow. Really enjoyed the other WTs too. wellbeback used the same really neat key step then Afmob found a really tough to see 4+1 innies. All infinitely better than my way. Won't bore you with the details. Thanks guys! |
