Also there is more than one solution, this also should never happen, here's another solution... 789453612 326179458 541682379 915734286 263918745 874526193 437295861 652841937 198367524 Although it was a challenge, thanks for sharing it with us. i would also like to see the original starting numbers.

libya 115 Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks for the replies; I feel better now I know that it was an 'unfair' puzzle. The original numbers were; XXX45XX1X 3X61X9X5X 541X8X379 X1X73X2XX XXXX1XXX5 XX4X26XX3 X37XXX8X1 X5X8X19X7 XXXXX7X2X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks for this, I'll have a go at it from scratch. Where did the puzzle come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libya 115 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 This one I got from 'The Daily Telegraph' a UK newspaper, which publishes puzzles every day, with different difficulties; easy, moderate, tough, and diabolical, this was a diabolical one that I decided to tackle.

Yes, I have a book of DT sudokus. The diabolical ones are not the best puzzles, I have found a few with the problems you encountered - better off with the Guardian!!!
