Mmm, yeah, I guess . . . by slozo (2.00 / 0) #8 Tue May 13, 2008 at 11:48:26 AM EST
. . . I was just surprised that I had all the tools, but that it was still really that difficult for me (the harder puzzles).

I'm glad that you didn't take my comment in the wrong way, because I certainly didn't mean to make a negative commentary on your sudoku knowledge - rather, I am just a little shocked that that was all there was to solving them. Shit, I can't say I would've had the patience to write that diary, that's for sure . . .

I've come up with two original techniques. Yay me. These fuckers are a bitch to write not because I have to solve a bajillion puzzles to find really good examples, but because I then have to solve them each two or three times, make sure I'm not overlooking something which could've been found by a simpler, pre-existing technique (which happened the first time I tried to write up Group Cut), and only then create all the graphics. The write-up itself is easy and with FireFerret, so is uploading the GIFs.

That's really all there is to solving the damned puzzles: some logic, although with some of the really difficult puzzles like the weekly "mind-bending" Killer Sudoku they have at killersudokuonline.com, it's seriously contorted logic. I haven't solved one of those fuckers yet.
