If it is solvable - it will certainly spur me on to try again. :) This has been bugging me for years since I like to only post variants I have solved first. Many thanks to Para and Andrew for solving A21V2. They found a really interesting both/neither move to set up their solutions (Para's step 38;...

Where are we moving to? The url link is http://www.rcbroughton.co.uk/sudoku/forum/ but URL is not working just at the moment. The new forum is still being set up - but includes clue-less, explosions, samurai etc. But here's a deal Marlie - you try your first killer and I'll try my first clue-less :...

(very unofficial) Assassin 100
I know it's early, but am invoking longest-current-regularly-posting-Assassin-forum-member status and staking my claim for (very unofficial) Assassin 100 this week. So, party time at normal (u)Assassin hour this week. You won't believe the puzzle I've got for you! It will take a 'tag' solution but a...

If Ruud is ok I wonder why he didn't tell us that he (might have) lost interest in maintaining his site because a simple message wouldn't be so difficult, would it? I agree. So something must be very wrong. This makes me patient. Though a message from Ruud to that effect wouldn't be so difficult ei...

(unofficial) Assassin 98
This one started out fairly symmetrical but couldn't get a unique solution. Solving is like a lazy tropical river with 16 bridges & many back-waters to explore. Couldn't get a solving strategy idea to work for this design but still an interesting puzzle to relax with. SS(v3)score is 1.25 . Feels...

At first I wanted to rate it 1.75 ...Rating: 1.5. I used one forcing chain and a Hidden Killer quad Oh Afmob, some really great moves in steps 1-3! But your first instinct works much better for me - no way could I seriously put this classic onto the rating sticky as a 1.5 (more like a 2.0 with that...

Re: (Unofficial) Assassin 97
[edit: forgot to say congratulations to Afmob on your first killer!! ] (Estimated) Rating: SudokuSolver rates this one 0.96 but it can be solved in an easier way Not by me! I'd call this one a hard 1.0 rating since it took a long time to find my break-through. Not the type of move I look for very e...

Richard's SudokuSolver v3.0.0 rates this as 0.48 and also 0.60 depending on how I open the file. However if a puzzle ever deserved a rating of 0 it isthis one Ha, nice one Frank. Richard loves bug-finders! He'll enjoy that one. 0.48 is the equivalent of a zero rating. We've always called this an As...
