Sudoku Harakiri
Here is my first ever Sudoku Harakiri puzzle.
Frankly, I don’t enjoy solving these puzzles, but I think that there might be some interest in these. So I created a few and picked one for you.
Basically, it’s a double-Samurai puzzle: 8 classic sub-puzzles, which of course don’t have their own (unique) solutions but all together constitute a puzzle with a single solution.
By clicking on this thumbnail download will start which will give you the full puzzle.
Thoughts and comments are most appreciated (as always)!
UPDATE: See the solution here!

What a monster. Haven’t solved it yet. Anyway, can you take a look at the colour sudokus I made at squobble.com/puzzle? I need some opinions on them.

Where is the solution to this puzzle? I loved this one, but 3/4 through it I made a mistake, wanted to compare where, as after 2 days on it I don’t feel like starting from scratch again

Well, I can’t solve it. I still like these type of puzzles though. Is this solvable?

Sue, this Sudoku harakiri is surely soluble. You can’t solve each 9×9 square individually, but you must work on all 8 and use clues from one to solve cells in another.
