But here's a deal Marlie - you try your first killer and I'll try my first clue-less :D . Just not this weekend though - got a couple other projects happening 8-) . Ed, I made these two especially for you. ;) http://zi4ipw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1prg73FiqRDT5-mr0_eshF-tnAlNu2yDXWwH7brGPEoGTCdr4J--c...

Again thanks to everyone who gives me feedback. I want to emphasize that the single reason I take the time to generate these puzzles, are for you to have a good time solving them. And if you don’t have a good time, I have failed. And the only way for me to know if you had a good time or not are that...

JC could do what I am doing. Clueless: 1) Generate a puzzle that has Naked Singles only, with givens for all the clueless cells. 2) Determine one set of givens(out of many possible sets), excluding the givens in the clueless cells , which can be removed such that the puzzle still has one solution on...

JLynn, Sarah and Pete, thanks for your feedback.

Pete,
Was Substitute Samurai #2 to your liking?

Pete wrote:It seems like even the easy versions are a bit harder than Ruud's

I wonder if my Clueless Explosions are more Center-Dot demanding than Ruuds'? Anyone having an opinion on this?

Noticeably easier than the SCS/SCEs have been. jsmif, thanks for the feedback. Please bear with me while I familiarize myself with the Sudokus my software generate, which only can be done by generating and (time consuming) solving. Generating puzzles is still an unfamiliar terrain for me. Originall...

Substitute Samurai #2 Another great puzzle 100% generated by JSudoku. Rating based on required solving techniques: Tough My personal rating based on actual solving: Hard http://n4zpjg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1prg73FiqRDT7jCmfpLboi7xt80j_oUSCWQdqlG4RfxwB3pCfcgdJlB_K3kbUCSTBn1W9V2SIW1NA/SS%20%232%20.P...

I agree completely with sudokuEd, Andrew, mhparker and Afmob. Richard, big thanks from me also for taking on this effort. I have now registered with "Sudoku Solvers’ Forum" and it will be my new home, even if Ruud returns. Since Ruud doesn’t even bother to post a single message giving us a...

I wouldn't mind X-wings, but that's about it. I don't like seafood, sudoku-wise. jsmif, Seafood is supposedly very healthy :wink: :P When I generate a puzzle I always get Very Easy, Easy, Moderate, Tough, Extra Hard and harder puzzles, based on required solving techniques. Getting a Hard or a Very ...

Which begs the question: Is the clueless grid in all your Explosions center-dot? To my recollection, all of Ruud's Explosions that I solved never were. As Ruud explains here , in his first 40? Clueless Explosion puzzles the 10th clueless grid was also center-dot. My generation method does not guara...

Nasenbär and jsmif, thanks for the feedback. Great that you speak up, so I know what kind of puzzles you want, and I will try to accommodate you. If some wants harder puzzles or puzzles requiring special solving techniques, please let me know, and I’ll se what I can do. I have generated puzzles requ...

Oscar, Good to know that I can count on you for comments. Thanks again. As gratitude I will try to factor in your preferences when generating further puzzles. Børge: You give us very good news, Clueless Specual can continue to be "produced"! very good job =D> . I have already produced Clue...

Substitute Clueless Special #3 This time a puzzle generated by my own software, which I now have completed the first version of. So now I can mass produce Clueless Explosion and Clueless Special puzzles with a yield that seems to be 100%, i.e. every attempt results in a suitable puzzle. Rating base...

How to make a paper copy of a Samurai or Clueless puzzle (support added for Samurai) Step 0: Download the files "Samurai_Clueless.xls", "Samurai.bmp", "Clueless.bmp", "Samurai_A4.doc" or "Samurai_LETTER.doc", and "Clueless_A4.doc" or "...

What I meant by logic is the reasoning behind the elimination(s). As with many other things in life, personal taste factors in.
I surrender to your logical eliminations (sure you not have green blood?) and have updated the complete picture.

JC, I beg to differ.
For someone unfamiliar with these techniques, I think that it in this special case it is more difficult to reason out the logic behind your alternative.
For the records, here the complete picture.
