Samurai Killer Calcudoku - Sudoku Variant

2010-01-31T01:00:00.000+01:00

Dr Gareth Moore, the author of over 20 best selling international puzzle and brain-training titles from a wide range of publishers, published a great Sudoku variant puzzle on his weblog.

Rules for this is a five-grid Samurai Killer Calcudoku:
- Place 1 to 9 into each row, column and 3×3 box of the five underlying 9×9 Sudoku grids
- Place numbers into the Calcudoku dashed-line cages to fulfil the results at the top-left of each cage. The given operator when applied between all of the numbers must give the stated result, e.g. the solution to '5+' could be '2+1+2'. For subtraction and division start with the largest number, so for example '3-' could be '6-3'.
- Numbers can be repeated in Calcudoku cages, subject to the row, column and 3×3 box constraints.

Unlike his other puzzles he hasn't used any symmetry in this one. This Sudoku variant isn't especially hard, but with so many places to potentially go it might take you a little while. Happy Puzzling

2010-01-29T13:00:00.001+01:00

Bored of the Rubik's Cube after all these years, mastering the puzzle in a way where you can even solve it blindfolded? Why not tease your brain all over again with a new puzzle game known as Rubik's Slide.

The Rubik's Slide manufacturers claim that there are more than 10,000 brain busting puzzles on this, where you are required to slide and twist the gadget to move a series of squares (up to nine in total) in order to match a pre-determined pattern that is displayed before you begin. Needless to say, more and more tiles will be introduced the further you progress into the game, but we wonder whether there is a built-in "save point" just in case it runs out of batteries when you're so close to solving the hardest puzzle? Bust your brain for a relatively affordable £25 (approx $40) as the Rubik's Slide rolls out - nay, slides out later this year. Via Ubergizmo
