Like Andrew, I think that this (fun and challenging) Killer shouldn't be called an Assassin since it's against our tradition and is in no relation to uA 99. So I was reluctant to post my wt, but Andrew convinced me to do so. The most important move was step 5k which I don't look for too often but th...

I think it's quite understandable why no one on Richard's forum posted on your creation since sudocue.net and Richard's forum have the same visitors and users, so no one is likely to post twice about it. And variants tend to have less reply posts. Just look at djape.net where lots of puzzles lie aro...

:ot: Though this software talk is a bit off-topic, I'll give you my opinion on SudokuSolver. If you want to let the software solve the Assassin for you then SudokuSolver is the best software I know (I use SumoCue, JSudoku and SudokuSolver on my computer) and it's usually getting better with lots of ...

What a tough Killer! It reminded me of Maverick 1 because of the use of (standard) Sudoku techniques (apart from step 6a which also uses cage properties) to crack it though UA 100 was a bit tougher. UA 100 Walkthrough: 1. R123 a) Outies R1 = 17(2) = {89} locked for R2 b) 28(4) = 89{47/56} -> 8,9 loc...

That WK was even a bit harder than JC's WK 3. I took me some time to find the important move (step 3h) though the move itself wasn't difficult. My endgame is quite messy so you can stop reading after step 3 (or maybe 4) :lol:. Thanks Nasenbaer, for offering this interesting Killer variant! WK 4 V2 W...

Wow, this happened faster than I expected. I have to say I totally agree with Mike. Even if Ruud came back, I wouldn't know if I could pretend that nothing happened. Of course if he had a really good explanation then things would be different. But for now, it's best to embrace our new (permanent) ho...

I can't say that V1.5 was harder than V1. I used Innies+Outies to crack it where in V1 I used small combo analysis (Killer pairs). Let's see what V2 has to offer. :-k WK4 V1.5 Walkthrough: Windows 1 2 2 2 1 3 3 3 1 4 6 6 6 4 7 7 7 4 4 6 6 6 4 7 7 7 4 4 6 6 6 4 7 7 7 4 1 2 2 2 1 3 3 3 1 5 8 8 8 5 9 9...

This variant should give you a bit more trouble since it doesn't crumble after the first placements.

Like in WK 3 is used the Innies and Outies of the Windows to crack it. WK 4 Walkthrough: 1. R6789 a) 24(3) = {789} locked for R9+N8 b) Innies N7 = 23(3) = {689} locked for N7 c) 12(3) = {345} locked for R9+N7 d) 9(3) = {126} locked for N9 e) 20(3) = 9{38/56} -> 9 locked for C3+N7 + R678C234 and R8C4...
