Monthly Reward for October - "Trick or Treat?"
🕑 Added 2023-10-01 14:59:02 +0000 UTCThank you for sponsoring the channel! As October's monthly reward, we are delighted to bring you "Trick or Treat" by Skunkworks, a collection of 6x6 sudoku puzzles that will entertain and amaze you.
Skunkworks are a collective of sudoku setters and solvers, who include some of the most widely-respected sudoku names in the world. We are very grateful to them for contributing this pack of puzzles. 6x6 might seem easier than 9x9 - fewer cells to complete, after all - but beware, the veil is very thin at this time of year!
To be in with the chance of a prize, submit the first-level word/phrase by email to crackingthecryptic@gmail.com by 4pm UK time on October 20th. To get your name on the Scroll of Honour for October, you will have to find the pack completion word/phrase. Instructions are in the document - read them all.

In puzzle 13, can the digits outside the grid be greater than 9? I know it says so in the rules but if it is the case, how can you fill them?

BOOOO! Great set! These 6x6s are so much more tractable with clever ideas and logic. I can't imagine how hard their counterpart 9x9s would be. Would love to see a solve of puzzle 12 though. It was the only one where I felt like I had to disprove a bunch of combinations to arrive at the right pair of digits that worked.
