As mentioned already in another topic, I have attempted to generate some X-sudoku diamonds, but with limited success, as shown:

Code: Select all: . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . 2 . . 3 2 . 4 . . . . . 4 . . . . . . 3 . 1 5 . 6 4 . 7 . . . . . . 3 . . . . 5 8 . 2 1 7 . 8 . . . 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . ED=2.9/2.9/2.9 X . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . 2 . 3 4 . . 5 6 . . . . 2 . . . . . . 4 . . 7 . 1 2 . 8 . . . . . . 7 . . . . 7 8 . 2 3 9 . 3 . . . 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . ED=4.3/4.3/4.3 X . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . 2 . . 3 4 . . 5 . . . . 4 . . . . . . 6 . 7 8 . 5 3 . 4 . . . . . . 8 . . . . 8 9 . 2 7 6 . 3 . . . 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . ED=7.7/7.7/7.7 X . . 1 . . . 2 . . . . 3 4 . . . . 5 5 . . . . . . . . 6 . 5 . . . . 7 . . 8 . . . . . . 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 2 . . . . . . . 6 . . . . . 7 . . . 8 . 9 . ED=7.8/7.8/7.8 X

Maybe someone else will have better luck.

Hidden below is a selection of not-too-difficult X-puzzles for anyone tempted to try them.
