In terms of going to a new site, I believe it is best if you can find a way to stay here. If change is necessary DJApe's would, I think, be better than starting anew. Although, as has been pointed out, the "ethos" is different. I think the variation in nomenclature can be sorted out (Given...

Nice one Nasenbaer

I did not find it too difficult, but I like outies minus innies and I immediately noticed the R2 10/3 interaction with the C9 8/3 which placed seven cells and it rolled from there.

You sound as bad as Udosuk.

There is also the balance of: sudoku solving time; drinking time; and sudoku creation time. In my world the latter two dominate.

Check out the KNight Anti-Consecutives I've been putting together with Evert on sudoku.com.

I use control shift D - easier on the fingers, and I can't use pencil and paper for hard puzzles my writing is just too messy - otherwise I agree with you, Guinness being my preference.

And this one is a complete swine.

Thanks Susan - you do sometimes feel that you are posting puzzles into thin air - particularly on a forum you are new to.

I remember starting with heavy work on:
N3: outies r23c6 = {89} combos on innies r123c7 = {67}4 | {48}5 = 4..
N3: -> 17/3 = 9..-> 674,935,128 | 485,917,236 | 485,926,137
innies on C7 -> r489 = {123}
And then working on N6 and N9

DW AN 2

I've managed to sort out a symmetrical minimal one.

Serious use of LOL and anti-knight but no big vanilla.

The puzzle is one of DJApe's, and I still make that mistake occasionally.

I've increased the difficulty on OV1 (to fit in with Ruud's view of his site) and out of cussedness will continue to try and make it harder. Unfortunately, I believe, my original instincts were correct and this works best as a killer. In a killer you can make some positive "it must be" dec...

Ruud

My appologies for the simplicity of the puzzle. I've just solved it and it's probably the easiest I've ever posted.

Ruud Agree - this is the first time I've built a puzzle in reverse. Normally I have a core structure and work forward until its unique then add bits until it's solvable. In this one I started with one of the 36 solutions added a set of zeros that were non-consecutive with the 1s (but I could not fin...

Over (Vanilla?)

OV 1A: AK AN WW NC OverVanilla I've been putting up OverKillers on DJapes site, and I've been considering a Vanilla version (check: http://www.djape.net/sudoku/forum/viewtopic.php? or http://www.djape.net/sudoku/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1221) The rules are: there are 10 numbers 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 one...
