[Ruud]

I quickly added this thread to save the sudokus that did not qualify as Superior. They are beautiful and it would be a shame to lose them.

Even those that do not make it into the Inferior List are welcome in this Sudoku Daycare Center.

I've actually changed the rules of Superiors to include all the puzzles that would require more than 2 doubles to solve....

Your list needs to be updated with numerous puzzles from the superior puzzle that were posted & missed the list.

I'll try to post them here
