FED-SUDOKU

Tejal: welcome It's nice to see you here

@cauchy & Gotroch
Now there is the R&T couple on this site as well. So we can get some of their stuff as well...
They create good puzzles... some different types as well... :)

I think Cauchy wanted to encourage other readers of this Guest Book (not only Gaurav ) to share own sudoku creations.
So if you have something interesting, contact Ankora (address is ankora(at)fed-sudoku.eu ) and your puzzle will be here at our FED-Sudoku site, solvable in Online variats section.

cauchy: I think he probably knows my contact ;-)

Gaurav: very nice variant , but I'm the one who makes mistakes due to classicc stereotypes and still restarts the puzzle
And I like to try to solve another your sudoku variant as of another author (contact to Ankora is bottom - zavinac means the sign @).

Oh you already solved it.. :)

*This type of sudoku variant looks difficult, but it is very easy to solve.
I am looking forward to your next puzzle.*

actually the instructions look very simple and many people try to solve it just like classic. but its not.. and if you make a mistake, you have to restart the puzzle!!
Its my favourite type now. :)

@Jakub
yes.. I created very easy puzzle because those who will try it for the first time will get confused. I guess people like you will be able to finish it in 3-4 min or even lesser. :)

Gaurav: It's nice to see another sudoku author here on FED-Sudoku.
Thanks for nice Blackout variant.
This type of sudoku variant looks difficult, but it is very easy to solve.
I am looking forward to your next puzzle.

gauravkorde: Your personal statistics were incorrect due to my testing. I've forgotten to think about all consequences, thanks to you it was quite easy to repair...

To GTaK and JigKill - the problem is with generators. I have only one for GTaK, so I have to take it "as it is"... I hope jigsawkillers are not as hard as GTaKs, but if I set "easy level", there is a very low efficiency of getting a puzzle, so I use "medium level"...

We discussed difficulty of GTaK at start of Alternatives and the result was: "Yes, it's quite difficult, but you have whole week to find time to solve it, if you want. And there are some people who like it..." And maybe you will find some new techniques in GTaK or jigkill to be faster and make it in 15 minutes...

I came 1st for the first time in Nonconsecutive yesterday but my statistics says i have come 1st 2 times!! :P

@squick

oh ok... anyways i dont like to solve them because i dont get that much time. i dont know when i will be called so in free time solving for 10-15 min is ok.

gauravkorde: you don't have to guess moves in GTaK or Jigsawkiller at all. There are always logical steps. Nevertheless, you have to look for them - sometimes it is a long way though :)

@Ankora & Ales

I think you should really look into GtaK and JigsawKiller puzzles.
The weekly ones are no fun. They is nothing much you can do except guess. and guessing surely is no fun specially when one has to guess 3-4 times in a puzzle.
Dont take this negatively. its just a message from critics point of view.
I hope you get my point that puzzles should be interesting and should encourage people to attempt those types.
Currently i just check the puzzles timings before and if average solver is taking 25min i dont even attempt it!!
these are just my views ... and i appreciate if you might be having some different objectives.

:)

I'm a little slow solving directly on the comp...as I'm not too comfortable yet.
Maybe I can improve with practise...

Happy New Year to all of you. We are glad you are with us here and as a gift let us introduce a tenth alternative - quadro (special thanks to janoslaw - author of this variation). Enjoy it.

Rohan.Rao: welcome . It is pleasure for us to see you here
And to all of you: Happy New Year

Nicky,Cert:Thank you,I went for holiday with my family last 2 days so I can't reply on time,sorry

Jakub's best 44sec!!!

Merry Christmas to all of you
