the metro newspaper, in the uk, usually publishes a hard puzzle on a Friday. Yesterday's one was easy though:

Code: Select all

 . . 3 | . . . | 8 . 9
 . . . | . 7 . | . 4 .
 5 . . | . . 1 | . . 6
 ------+-------+------
 . 9 . | . 1 7 | 2 . .
 4 . . | . 6 . | . . .
 . . 7 | 4 8 . | . 3 .
 ------+-------+------
 8 . . | 7 . . | . . 3
 . 3 . | . 2 . | . . .
 2 . 6 | . . . | 5 . .


However it's also not symmetric. Take away the 4 in R5C1 and you get a much better puzzle!

these few samples make me wish i had the Metro puzzles every Friday!

ab, thanks for the puzzle,
looks like a decent "superior" puzzle.

i've re-posted it in the other Topic -- i hope you don't mind --
