By Nikoli rating standards I think “hard” is about right, but I dunno about “painting” and “advanced sudoku technique”. Well-designed puzzle, though, and more interesting than the average Kakuro.<br><br>Jacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031071943178978556.post-60065617518016143582011-02-19T02:05:11.000+00:002011-02-19T02:05:11.000+00:00So (at least) double the normal time on a puzzle t...So (at least) double the normal time on a puzzle this size I think I can take as some kind of triumph. What I really need is another Ziti/H.Jo play-off to confirm it.<br><br>So the path i intended was bottom left-top left-and then top right/bottom right were basically independent. The top left I think need a little thought to resolve the vertical 12 clue (what I’d call painting anyway), and the bottom right I intended to be resolved via an x-wing. There’s probably an inevitable short-cut there that I missed given the size of the puzzle though.<br><br>Here’s to more interesting Kakuro!<br><br>Thomas Collyerhttp://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/tcollyer/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031071943178978556.post-6775263665095546032011-02-18T20:55:32.000+00:002011-02-18T20:55:32.000+00:00~3 minutes and seemed straight-forward for me but ...~3 minutes and seemed straight-forward for me but with fewer Nikoli-style boring moves.
