This ran as a “tag” solution, by Ed, Cathy and Mike, on the forum. I never tried it at the time, we were getting ready to move as I commented when I posted by walkthrough for the V1, so I’ve now decided to have a go at it years later. I’m pleased that I did; I enjoyed this puzzle, even though it was...

Back in November 2006 Richard posted the SudokuSolver log from the then current version of his solver. Ed kindly provided me with the log from the current version of SS and I was impressed at the improvements which Richard has made, including making the first placement in step 1, so I'm posting this...

When I first solved this puzzle I wasn't satisfied with how I had completed it so had kept it in my Unfinished folder to have another go at it. Now that I'm working fairly regularly at puzzles in that folder I've had another go at it. I'll rate my new walkthrough for A24 at Hard 1.25 because of the ...

Thanks Ed for the SSv3.3 log for Uluru. It used an interesting breakthrough step.

PsyMar was so quick to post his walkthrough for A25 that I never got to post my one. I only had a quick look at Ed's A25V2 at the time but now I'm working through my backlog of unfinished puzzles I've had another go at it. Once I'd found the 45s in steps 6 and 8, particularly step 8, I found this pu...

I've been working on some of my unfinished puzzles on Richard's site and decided to have a go at some of the ones on this site too. I only realised later that A21 V2 was one of the ones in the Unsolvables thread. I found that I hadn't even started this one; not sure why as I managed to solve it in l...

As I commented in the A34 and A71 threads, I didn't manage to solve three of Ruud's Assassins when they first appeared. Now having caught up with my backlog of other walkthroughs I'm having another go at them. Having posted my walkthroughs for A31 and A34, here is the the last one. I thought the bre...

As I commented in this thread and the A71 thread, I didn't manage to solve three of Ruud's Assassins when they first appeared. Now having caught up with my backlog of other walkthroughs I'm having another go at them. I originally used a contradiction move for the key breakthrough but, after I'd fini...

As I commented in the A34 and A71 threads, I didn't manage to solve three of Ruud's Assassins when they first appeared. Now having caught up with my backlog of other walkthroughs I'm having another go at them. This time I found A31 a lot easier although on checking my original partial walkthrough I ...

But after being encouraged by Andrew who will also post his wt for A74 Brick Wall, I finally decided to solve it again .... A couple of weeks ago I found time to go through Para's walkthrough and Afmob's much improved second walkthrough. Great stuff from both of you! =D> Now I've gone through my wa...

It was a very good idea for enxio to post that message on all sub-forums. Many people go, or used to go, directly to a particular sub-forum. I still go directly to the main Assassin page so that I can access Ruud's excellent combination calculator. If I click on Forum from the main Assassin page it ...

This was completed some months ago. I'm posting it now for completeness. Warning! Some of the combination work is heavy going, involving hypotheticals. If anyone wants to know how to solve V3, I'd recommend Afmob's walkthrough. I first tried Ed's challenging CDK V3 soon after it first appeared in ea...

Getting back on topic, I finished uA100 last night and went through Afmob's walkthrough today. Thanks Mike for a really challenging puzzle. At one time I thought I wasn't going to manage to solve it. I mostly used conventional killer steps with interesting combination analysis in C89 which I felt wa...
