I had this puzzle for some time now. It is a variant of Sumo (Gattai-13). Grids 1, 3, 11 & 13 are Sudoku-X Grids 2, 6, 8 & 12 are Windoku Grids 4, 5, 9 & 10 are Asterisk Sudoku Grid 7 is a Clover-X (Asterisk Windoku X) It shouldn't need more than doubles to solve. I will be posting the solution on Aug 29th 2011 (bank holiday in England) Code: .8.....9.4.5.3...6.1..6...4....2..3..549.......................5..2......21...... .........1.2...3.6.6.....7...81.92..3.......5..7...9............................. .5.....1.7...9.5.41...5..6..7..3.........945........................8..9......62. .............17......29......58..1...94..1....6..7.......4....................... ............98........15.....5..14.....3..87.....4..1......4..................... .5..6......6.......7.4.9......9.................8......4.3.5.....2.......3..4.... ....3...............................2.......9...............................5.... ....6..3.......4.....9.3.6......8.................7......3.6.1.......2......5..4. .....................9......5..6.....68..2.....35..6.....29........35............ .......................2.......2..4....6..25...9..41......51......23............. .86......5..8........................591.........2..1..9..5...37.5.9...1.4.....9. .............................2...3..4.......6..75.31...6.....8.1.4...9.7......... ......12......3..5.......................571..5..7....4...1..7.1...3.6.8.6.....9.

I'm looking forward to trying this one, although I guess I'm going to have to spend some time working out all of the pencil marks first. |

I just noticed that the A3 pdf has been downloaded 68+ times. It means that people have attempted to solve it manually. Well done |

tarek wrote: It means that people have attempted to solve it manually. Hmmmm. . . Perhaps I'll have to give this one a try without pencil marks and see how I do. UPDATE: Nope! Not happening here without pencil marks. I went ahead and did the pencil marks in SudokuSolver (one grid at a time), and now I'm on the first solving "round", grid #10. I foolishly thought I could knock this one out during a 3-hour wait for my kids this evening. Yeah, right! |

CRUD!! I took this puzzle on a trip with me, and wouldn't you know it, I made a mistake on the second grid (second pass through the puzzle). Now that I'm home, I'll have to print that grid again and start over with it. I think I tend to make more mistakes on the Windoku than with other variations. |

Dadgumit! I messed up on grid 2 AGAIN. Has anyone else completed this puzzle? "No pencil marks" indeed! |

tarek, I hope you're still around. I'm giving this one another go. I also gave it to a lady I met at the dentist's office the other day, and gave her a link to the forum here. She was very excited to see this puzzle, and said that she would be sharing it with her son as well. I warned her that pencil marks would be required, and she's familiar with those. |

I'm still very much around but unfortunately not that much spare time to frequent these fora as much I used to. Glad to hear that there is still some interest & Thanks for your continued interest and support... Tarek |

Great to see you here again, tarek! I do hope you are able to find time to poke your head in here every now and then, and perhaps even post a new puzzle from time to time. |
