Again I look forward to seeing more of these particular variations - although I don't generally have 1 hr 45 mins to spare most days!!Ĭomment 10 by Alan Shaw. To give you an idea of my skill level I did today's Times Killer Sudoku in 15 mins (paper stated 22 mins as target). Melvyn - I know you are interested in time taken - I reckon I completed it in about 1 hour 45 minutes in total - although this was over the course of 3 separate sessions of 45 mins 45 mins and 15 mins. I reckon I have spotted one tiny "error" insofar as the 1s and 2s in cells E4/E5 and H4/H5 can be inter-changed. Hi Daniel/Melvyn - first of all many thanks for posting the second Killer Sumarai which was good fun. This puzzle was an awesome distraction from work and I loved the color. Look forward to seeing more of these.Ĭomment 8 by Alan Shaw.

(1) The 4's and 5's can be either way round in P1/Q1 and P7/Q7 (2) The 8's and 9's can be either way round in S15/T15 and S20/T20 (3) The 6's and 7's can be either way round in C16/C17 and I16/I17 (4) Lastly, and slightly more complicatedly(!) A20/A21 must be 7 & 9, D20/D21 must be 4 & 7, G20/G21 must be 4 & 9 - each of these pairs depends on the other 2 but there are no other clues to help you solve one of them. In order to illustrate this I have named the columns A-U and the rows 1-21. There are several other areas where there are alternative solutions. Becca is correct - you CAN switch the 3s and 9s mentioned. Should that be possible? From the solutions posted switch the 3 and 9 's in the bottom right 9x9 (first and last rows).Ĭomment 7 by Becca. I may be doing something wrong I got two solutions to this puzzle. I would be curious to know if Alan Shaw actually completed the killer samurai, and if so, how long it took him.Ĭomment 6 by Melvyn P. I had spotted one mistake today, thanks for spotting the second.Ĭomment 5 by Melvyn P. I apologise to you and Alan Shaw for the two mistakes in the Killer Samurai. The three purple cells along the bottom line in your solution add up to 11 not 12.Ĭomment 4 by Alan Shaw. Daniel - I believe there is another error - middle square of top-left hand grid. I have now fixed this issue.Ĭomment 3 by Daniel (site owner). If you add these they come to 35 meaning the remaining cell needs to be a 10! Looked at solution - the 11 should actually be 12.Ĭomment 2 by Alan Shaw. containing 11 (yellow), 8 (blue) and 16 (purple). Attempted this and spotted an error - top left square of bottom right grid - i.e. Publishers - Are you interested in publishing these unique Killer Samurai Sudoku Puzzle on a weekly or one off bases?
