    Prices on some of my books – SLASHED!

    Filed under: Kakuro,Sample puzzles,Sudoku Variants,syndication — djape @ 12:08 pm

    Some of my books are being heavily discounted at the moment. Before I introduce them to you once more, let me kindly ask you again to review my books on Amazon if you buy them. If you have already bought them, you can still do that. It means A LOT to me!

    My first Kakuro book: This book is undeservedly neglected. I know my Kakuros are of top quality. Some of you know that too. Those that don’t know that yet should look at the Kakuro category and try some of my puzzles there. Further, this book is the only book (as far as I know) that contains Kakuro variants: odd/even, (non)consecutive, greater/less than. And on top of that all, it is now priced only $6.95 on Amazon!!!
    Djape does Sudoku: 300 puzzles for ADVANCED solvers: This is not a book with your ordinary puzzles that you can find in your local newspaper. This puzzles are rather difficult. On top of it, it contains 60 puzzles that require you to apply either the X-Wing or the Swordfish techniques. It is now priced only $7.95 on Amazon!
    Sudoku Straights: Where Poker Meets Sudoku: A one of a kind book! Books with such puzzles have not been published elsewhere. Try some of them from the Sudoku Variants category. The book is dirt cheap: only $6.95!!! on Amazon!

    From what I know, there will be no further reductions in prices. And the prices on these books might go back up! So now is the best time to get them.

    Outside Sudoku Straights (difficult!)

    Filed under: Sample puzzles,Sudoku Variants — djape @ 1:55 pm

    Here is a new variant of Outside Sudoku puzzles: Sudoku Straights.
    The rules of Outside Sudoku are explained here.
    The rules of Sudoku Straights are explained here.

    Now, all you need to do is combine them and apply them both. It’s a rather difficult puzzle (or so I think).
    What do you think?

    A randomly generated Picross puzzle (Hanjie, Griddlers…)

    Filed under: picross — djape @ 11:30 am

    A while ago I created a computer-generated Hanjie puzzle. I didn’t get much response from you folks, but lets try again.

    The rules are same as for your ordinary Hanjies. The only difference is that randomly generated Hanjie puzzles have a random pattern as the solution, it’s not an image of anything (unless your imagination is really inspired).

    If you show interest in these I might start posting them more often.

    Oh, just to make things clear: The Hanjie puzzles in my book “Picross, Hanjie, Griddlers, Nonograms: 130 puzzles” ARE HAND-MADE. icon smile A randomly generated Picross puzzle (Hanjie, Griddlers...)

    Here is my second Slitherlink puzzle. My solver thinks it’s rather difficult. What do you think?

    The rules of Slitherlink (Takegaki, loop-the-loop, loopies…) can be found in my introductory article.
