@cowgirl:
Thanks for the info. Just have to be patient I guess :(
Fortunately, I understand some Dutch.

A QUESTION: Is www.sudokuforum.nl and xray.messageboard.nl also run by Ruud? A week ago (Thursday 2008-04-24) I registered there but am still waiting for my account to be activated. The email I received in Dutch says something like: "As of this moment your account is not activated yet. A site a...

I feel bad nobody has bothered to try it in Richard's forum. :ncool: No feedback is NOT the same as that nobody has tries it! I, too, run a Web site (a school alumni site) and forums. I'm ashamed to admit I haven't been around there in several months, either, mainly due to discouragement with the s...

If you have finished CS#4a before I have released TUSP ;) I can make you .SDX files for another puzzle, or you can use Richard's SudokuSolver, which can print out each grid (including pencil marks) with a look very similar to SudoCue. Or better: solve at the PC with SudokuSolver or JSudoku (or TUSP ...

I was really hoping to find a way to create the Sudocue progress files (.SDX) that have just the clues and the pencil marks (nothing solved) for these multi-grid puzzles, that I can import into Sudocue for printing (each grid on a separate sheet of paper). TUSP can export a grid in either .SDK (Sad...

Unfortunately it will still be a couple of months before I have a release version of TUSP finished, which should solve all your problems. I currently have support for all of Ruud’s puzzle, except MOAG, DOAG, "Christmas Three" and "New Year's Eve Fireworks". So if you want to solv...

Substitute Samurai #3

Substitute Samurai #3 At Richard's this Samurai is posted as Regular Samurai #1 Unfortunately I have not had time to complete my Samurai puzzle generator yet, so this puzzle is pretty much hand made as a test of my generation theory. Rating based on required solving techniques: Hard My personal rat...

I skipped #8a and went straight to #8c. Very nice, one of my favorites. If it is possible to phrase why you found it very nice, it would be good to know, for later reference. Initially I forgot to explicitly point out that #8A and #8B are variations of the same puzzle, i.e. they have identical solu...

Ruud has given me far more than I have given him. And I definitely must say the same, and I like to think that most members here see it the same way. If I would say anything else, it would for me personally be an outright lie. However, in my humble opinion the current problems are: 1) The uncertain...

Finished #4A, found it easier than the other ones you've rated Tough. Maybe I am just in good form today. 8-) I don't want to ruin your good form theory, but #4A should be easier than any of my previous SCS'. The rating based on required solving techniques (Moderate) is lower than for any of my pre...

"My" puzzle was actually a good difficulty. Good work! Glad you liked it. :D Since people seem to prefer different difficulties I plan (depending on time available and other factors) making it a semi regular thing to post several difficulties and from your feedback I have gotten the impre...

SCS #4

This time there are four flavours to choose from: A) The mainstream edition. B) The quickie. Solving it took me about 1/4 of the time it took me solving the mainstream edition. C) The JLynn edition: 3 N/H Pairs, 1 Turbot Fish, 2 Grouped TF, 1 XY-Wing. D) The Extra Super Ultra Hard edition: 25 N/H Su...
