CE_gonna_CE posted... 14:34 It's a good tool. Probably the best one out there. So definitely worth getting comfortable with. There are a lot of customization if you want it in the settings plus you can use the keyboard to swap between corner and centre pencil marks.

Puzzle 3 = 22:17 Interesting variation. Never done one before so I was slow, but I wouldnt call it harder necessarily. If anything, having the thermos adds another logic layer that can be used to help solve, so Id say its even easier than a normal puzzle even if it did take me longer to do. --- https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1531-food-delivery-services-general ...

SHRlKE 02/07/23 1:47:34 PM #16: |
Yeah I know what you mean in the variations. They arent necessarily harder although some can be brutal. What makes them fun is like normal sudoku there are levels of logic from very easy to incredibly difficult when it comes to all the variations and for me the fun comes from trying to figure out the different logical steps you can make that are specific for each variant. ...

SHRlKE posted... Puzzle 5: Sudoku Make Me A Sandwich43:41 Brutal. Definitely felt like the most linear one to solve so far, as it was pretty clear how you had to solve all the sandwiches and fill in the gaps in a very specific and set order. Im sure I could do it faster if I tried again now that I went through it once. It does get pretty satisfying once you get to a certain point and start hitting a stride. Really forces you to think hard about the logic around some of those sandwiches. Solution: --- https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1531-food-delivery-services-general ... Copied to Clipboard!

CE_gonna_CE posted... 43:41 Yeah definitely. Some of the more complex ones Ive seen (not done I might add) have very specific break-ins to start the puzzle. Followed then by a very specific path to complete the puzzle. On one hand I am so impressed someone is able to come up with those sorts of puzzles. On the other hand like you say it feels linear and you are forced to complete it in the only way possible. ... Copied to Clipboard!

still rather solve linear ones than the ones that eventually get to a point where there are no logic steps left to take and you're forced to guess and check. --- Boom!

Even many of the harder ones. When I tacked these many years ago there were always a few where I thought that guessing was required.

the ones in my local paper get harder from monday through saturday. through thursday, they're always pure logic, most friday puzzles, too. but at least one or two saturday puzzle each month gets to a point roughly 75% through it where there's no choice but to pick a square to guess and follow it through until it conflicts somewhere (or the end of the puzzle). most of me hates it, but i can see the argument for it being just another solving strategy. --- Boom!

Might sound a bit weird, but feel free to snap a pic if you ever get to that guessing point in those puzzles and post it here. Id be curious to see if I come to the same conclusion, or if I might have a logical strategy that could be used to eliminate some possibilities. I also do the ones in my local paper so its possible theyre coming from the same series (Ive seen Conceptis and King Classic as of most recently). The weekend ones are the 5 star ones, and even when they get to be most difficult Ive always found a logical way through. --- https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1531-food-delivery-services-general ...
