Wouldn't that be termed a 'spoiler', ever-so-slightly?

Not if you post the wrong answer.... or maybe there are two solutions this week ?

I think we should be told.

It's certainly not the answer I got, and I never had to guess, so that suggests there was only one answer. I'd give the Times the benefit of the doubt on this one - probably just a mistype by John.

Please provide the locations of the A, B, C, and D that are referenced in a previous post.

Is the puzzle correct as originally posted above?

Thanks,

I believe the puzzle was correctly posted; I found only one solution. I, too, am interested in the locations of A, B, C, and D.

by **Karyobin** » Tue Jul 26, 2005 8:03 pm

Bearing in mind he's posted his address, maybe he wants us to go round to ask him. Who lives nearest?

by **Enigma** » Tue Jul 26, 2005 9:28 pm

Huh.... and we were all too mean to pop round before 10pm on Sunday evening

A was in r2c2 of the top right grid
B was in r5c1 of the top left grid
C was in r2c3 of the bottom left grid
D was in r3c8 of the bottom right grid

Another piece of non-symmetry.

I had A6 B1 C3 D7.. differing on A from John.

Although Winchester's not too far from Salisbury, the furthest I'm prepared to go for Sudoku is the study... definitely not Cheltenham !

Study? STUUDDY??!!! I'll not have such pompous talk here, this is a simple thread for the base, common and popular!

I demand that anyone who has, or may have access to, a study should own up now and vacate! I'll not be condescended to by the heir to a more well-endowed bank account...

P.S. Is the opposite of disgruntled: gruntled? What of dismembered?

Yes, that's what I got, too. Someone needs to drop by John's place and gently give him the bad news that he got the A value wrong...

by **Enigma** » Wed Jul 27, 2005 7:16 pm

If only I was the "heir to a more well-endowed bank account". Probably more well-endowed than my own, anyway.

I should have said t'study, and explained that it's only really a shoe box in t'middle of t'road. Is that common enough for you ?

And that's only to use the computer. Surely everyone knows that the best place/time to do a Sudoku is either in the bathroom or whilst feeding the baby.
