KathyW and Para stopped posting around the same time

This was horrible.Took me nearly 10 hours.And near on 2 bottles of sauvignon blanc/chardonnay.If anything I would go north of 1.75.

When was the last time, errors excepted, that an assassin hasnt been completed on day 1 ?

ok so how do you rate this? unlike gary i stared at this puzzle for an hour then realised the "trick" and finished it very quickly so overall if it took an hour and a half i would say 1.25 on the "back of an envelope" however doesnt gary rate this as 0.75?

apologies i havent done the tiny text correctly

i would guess it's about 1.25 on the basis it took me 1 to 2 hours walkthrough principles are 1 row6 innies are 689 2 row 6 column9 is 5 or 7 (row 9 column 7 is 1 or 3) 3 rows1,3,4 and5 column7 together with row 6 column 9 equals 19 4 given row 9 column 7 is 1 or 3 the only possibilities are 1245 an...

i agree with afmob ,his rating and his reasoning its a 1.5 for me

i agree with mhp's rating i suspect the cage pattern could produce something quite nasty however there was one giveaway

im not sure i agree with paras rating sure the beginning is easy but then it grinds to a halt and becomes horrible is it possible that para is really rather good and cant see the difficulties others may have?

i enjoyed it too just like a normal killer once it started to crack it fell over very quickly i thought it wouldnt because of the weird cage structure

c'est magnifique! well done para i got a long way last weekend but could not bust the top three nonets

for what its worth i did v2 by realising the 20 cage in column 2 couldnt be 956 as it led to a contradiction this meant the only place for a 6 in the bottom left nonet was in the 9 cage after that its fairly straightforward however for me that was a bit too much like trial and error unless anyone di...

i sort of agree with mhparker and sort of disagree i agree theres no point in doing a puzzle based upon a guess also theres no point in trial and error however you then run into the issue of what is trial and error my own view is that if i can work through a combination in my head which leads to a c...

maybe there is a different way to start column1 1 can only go in the 5(row3 and7) or the 9 in the bottom nonet 1 will not go in the 9 because that requires542 for the 11(neither 641 nor 623 works) but if that is so columns 1 and 2 of row 7 are 63 which works with neither 68 nor 59 required by the bo...

just testing
