Any way to input this in SiSeSuSo?
I think when I haven't made a typo:

Code: Select all

#1//B4,CS
4................................................................................
.......10.1..1.110.1..111.01....1.101...1...0...1..1.0........0......1.0...1...10
..1.......1.1.....1..............1..1.11.....1..1.....1.1.....111.11.11.000000000

This is my first attempt at a (I think its called) a consecutive sudoku.  Same sudoku rules apply.  Circles mean cells must be consecutive, no circle means digits CANNOT be consecutive.  Make sense?   Not interactive so you'll have to print it out and do it manually.   Would love some feedback.  Thanks.

Exactly correct.
It is a rather clumsy task to "type over" from a picture to ascii strings.
What I did is type a "4" and goto the ascii tabpage,
with ^C and ^V copy line in Notepad.
Clear all cells.
Then all cells with a right consecutive neighbor place a "1" in the cell. Copy paste line from Ascii tabpage to Notepad.
Then same with cells with a cs neighbor down.
Finally select all lines from Notepad. ^C and Paste button in SiSeSuSo.

This puzzle needs Forcing Nets, but has a unique solution.

block 1 and column 1 can be solved from the 5-cells consecutive sequences.

The consecutive sudoku is then solved using basics (1x pointing (2.6) needed).

Yes, I have to make SiSeSuSo smarter....

Another one from the same author:

Now we know the recipe of 1to9only row 2 is not too hard and row 6 col 7 can not be a 4...

I've had a look at the 2nd consecutive sudoku posted. The 4 and 5 (givens) allow some cells to solved.
At some point, you'll need use the 'Consecutive Claiming' logic I described here.
Otherwise the puzzle solves with basics only.

For those interested in consecutive sudoku (or consecu-doku as I call it), I've gotten better at creating these types of puzzle and now publish daily ones.
