Hi Everyone

Below is an unfinished puzzle at level 3 from my Texet gizmo. It seems that whenever you select level 3 with this baby you get this sort of scenario with the same numbers given and easily discernible and the same pattern of candidates.

Its probably me but is this what you would expect?

Could there be a problem with the gizmo?

Should I concentrate on level 2?!

Just seems that this sort of grid makes me want to vomit and doesn't respond to most of my techniques.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to disappoint you, but this grid also has multiple solutions. And a whole bunch of them, too. (No exact number, as I aborted the counter after a minute or so.)

In other words, you should stick to level 2 if you want puzzles that are solvable with logic alone. :-/

Just out of interest has anyone tried the Texet Gizmo at level 3?
