I've been improving an algorithm which I call the B.U.T. technique (Bivalue Universal Transformation) to make sudoku puzzles. Then I added a mask, but it makes sudokus only when I allow clues to fill the WHOLE mask (never a partial subset of the mask).

One example is below. I call it the "B.U.T.-whole" sudoku because it was created with the B.U.T. algorithm and a whole mask:

The "BUT-Whole" Sudoku:

Code: Select all: . . . . . . . . . . . 9 . 3 . 1 . . . 4 . . 8 . . 2 . . . . 1 . 7 . . . . 8 . . 4 . . 6 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 2 . . 6 . . 8 . . . 1 9 . 5 3 . . . . . . . . . . .

Let me know if anyone likes it :!:

Sorry for my bad humor. I'm just glad no one tried to ban me from these forums :!:

I'll be more serious from now on

Not until at least one backdoor has been revealed, no doubt.
