DJ Ape .Net – The Home of Perfect Sudoku

So I’m back from my short ski holiday and I have just uploaded a bunch of brand new puzzles for you to enjoy on the New Year’s day.

I wish you all a very Happy New Year and lots of joy – not only while solving Sudoku puzzles .

Best wishes to all!

Killer Samurai X for New Year’s Day – this is the only place you can find these kind of Sudoku puzzles!

Warning: Today’s puzzle is very difficult!

Basically, not only do you have to fight against 5 interconnected Sudokus, but you also need to be carefull about the diagonals: ALL diagonals in the puzzle must contain one occurrence of each 1-9 digit. The diagonals are marked in the puzzle so you wouldn’t forget about them.

UPDATE: Download this file to see the solution up to the critical point, when you must use “X-Wing” (for number 5 in the upper left sub-puzzle), which indirectly solves one cell and after that it should be relatively easy to do (no fancy stuff required).

I warned you – this was an extremely difficult puzzle .

In addition to Washington Express who have been printing our Samurai Sudoku puzzles for more than a month, as of Januray 1 our puzzles will feature in The Washington Post and will appear there on a weekly basis, in the Sunday issue.

UPDATE: I have published the solution to the puzzle printed in The Washington Post. It’s on the Solutions page. We will be posting solutions for future Washington Post Samurai puzzles every Tuesday on the same page.

UPDATE: An e-book with Samurai Sudoku puzzles has been published. You can read my post about this by clicking on the book cover:

2×2 Killer Samurai! for kids to enjoy on New Year’s Day!

So, you only use numbers 1-4 and everything else is the same as usual. If your kids are struggling with “big” Killers, give them this one so they could learn the solving techniques etc. But first make sure YOU are able to solve it!

I just uploaded two brand new puzzles to “Daily” pages.

It’s holiday season and I will be away for a few days, so there won’t be any new puzzles until Friday. It’s time to take a short break and then start with more puzzles in the New Year .

Enjoy your hollidays and have fun!

On Christmas day, Sunday, December 25 2005, the magazine called “Le Matin Dimanche” from Switzerland will publish a few of our puzzles and also run a short story about our site and puzzles that we create.

It is likely that in the new year our puzzles will feature in more Swiss magazines and possibly in a book published there. More details about that in the new year.

Merry Christmas to all that will celebrate it on December 25 and happy holidays to everyone else .

I uploaded the most difficult puzzle yet for this occassion – it’s a Killer Samurai X. It’s not difficult because it’s an “X” but because you do need to apply all the difficult solving techniques that you should’ve learned by now.

I thank you all for your support and (mostly positive) comments. I hope to further enhance this site and the puzzles that I will post in the New Year. It seems that our puzzles will be published in more and more countries next year and I’m really looking forward to that.

In just 3 months we have built up a community of about 1300 daily visitors (on average) and hopefuly that will increase in the coming months.

Thanks again and keep coming!

Cheers!

UPDATE: Christmas is no Christmas without gift’s for children. Therefore, here is my gift to all kids – Mini Killer Samurai X.
