Hi

This puzzle is from the no ponies collection but i think it might be out of it's place there. When running it through sudocue it uses Almost locked sets, Medusa colouring, Nishio and tabling.

I only got this far. Then i got stuck.

Code: Select all

I ran it through sudocue and it starts on its list on techniques i haven't mastered yet. Am i (and sudocue with me) missing something that would make it no ponies worthy?

This puzzle did not belong in the collection. A few weeks ago I replaced it with this puzzle:

Code: Select all

. . 1|6 . .|. . 3
9 5 .|. . .|. 4 .
. . .|. 8 2|1 . .
-----+-----+-----
. 1 6|. . .|. . 4
. . .|. 7 .|. . .
8 . .|. . .|5 3 .
-----+-----+-----
. . 4|2 5 .|. . .
. 2 .|. . .|. 9 6
3 . .|. . 7|4 . .
Sorry about the confusion.

ok thanks

i was already wondering about it being rated unfair. I figured none of the no-trick ponies would be rated unfair.
I'll try the replacement
