Samurai- and Shaolin-X-Clueless: more of them?

Post by Nasenbaer »

Wonderful puzzles, thanks Ruud. I love those big ones. They give you days (or weeks) of horror. :twisted: (I had to restart the Shaolin-X once because I made a mistake, luckily it happened pretty early.)

I also found your Christmas Tree and the Happy New Year (haven't done that one yet) in the other forum, thanks to Andrew who pointed me to them.

Ruud, you said in one of your postings that you modified your software so that you could create more of these puzzles. So, is there more to come? Maybe once a month or so? (More frequent puzzles would have a serious impact on work and sleep, they already call me "Lord of the eye-rings" :wink: )

What do the others think about this idea? And, most importantly, what do YOU think about it, Ruud?

I think it's a great idea. I made the x Tree and new year x sudoku in december and finiched them both with succes. Now i am sitting here boring and don't know what to do.
I think i am a little addicted already to the bigger puzzels :oops: , so i am waiting and waiting and hoping there is a big one coming soon.

p.s I cannot make a new topic here so i take this one to wish everybody a very happy and healthy New Year

It is easier for me to post these here in the forum, saving me the trouble of updating the website, so here is a new challenge:

Shogun-X (watch those diagonals!)

Wow, that was a fast (and most approriate) answer to my request, Ruud. :wink: Thanks a lot!

Marlie:

The price is salvation from boredom. :tongue:

When you have completed the puzzle, verify it against this file. Do not send me emails with the solution.

Ruud.
