Kappa's "Sudoku Explosion"

Post by Princess Amy »

I found a magazine that has many varieties of Sudoku puzzles. Many are simple variations, but one is unique.

The varieties include overlapping (2 and 3 puzzles), eights, tens, random block, more or less, symboku (symbols), and super (16x16 puzzles using letters).

But the new one I haven't seen elsewhere is called "Blackout." In each row, column and block, there is one square filled with solid black. However, it can represent one, two or three different numbers, based on the row, column or block.

It's solved by elimination of possibilities, not standard procedures. Then some usual tricks come into play, like triples. It's not very hard once you get the hang of it, but I'm definitely enchanted by this puzzle!
