Hi allGlyn wrote:Perhaps we need to collect all these unsolvables together, as we have a much smaller sample set of Killers to work with than vanilla Sudokus.
On Glyn's suggestion, i browsed the forum for all puzzles (at that point) considered unsolvable.
Here is the first list of unsolvables(from this forum).

This puzzle only has a walk-through from Richards solver. I think it also needs a human effort.

I think after the struggle of A39V2 people were kind of tired of the cage pattern.

This one might be a bit out of place, but as it was judged difficult and no WT at all, i am going to put it in. This probably be the first to be solved out of this set.

There was a tryfurcated opening for this puzzle by Glyn. But i guess there must be a nicer way through it... some day.

Horrible result of an atempt to create a suitable Killer-X 4V2.

Another horrible creation while trying to make a suitable V2 for an assassin.
A62V2 might need to be added to this list. But as no real attempt at that one has been made, so i'll keep it off. But i think a list of 9 puzzles suits Sudoku.
So the challenge is up to remove these puzzles from the list.
