The New Sudoku Players' Forum

[JPF]

Here's another (OT) amuse-bouche

Nice puzzle too.
In French, it's the smart way to say amuse-gueule

I suggest to add a new bonus (double the points) for pearl puzzles.
In this case, a pearl puzzle would be defined as : a puzle such that the first cell can't be found by Simple Sudoku techniques.
Obviously, the "pearliness" has to be claimed by the submitter.

What do you think ?

Fine by me.

P.S. Since the Forum clock is out of kilter, could you please give the start of the next game in GMT? Thanks.

I don't agree.
Keep the rules simple, please.

OK, let's keep the rules simple and run the blind computers...

If I'm the winner of this game (I think I am), I give my right for the next game.
