Dare To Play The Killer Suduko

You have been playing Suduko for a long time and think you are the champion. Not yet! Just try the Killer Series of Suduko. This sweet little thing is going to leave you with a baffled mind.

Playing the 3x3 grid puzzles, which revolves around the numbers from 1 to 9, is passe. The new fad that is sweeping over the USA is the 25x25 grid puzzle. And listen to this: the puzzle uses alphabets instead of numbers!

The Japanese challenge
This stunning puzzle is the brainchild of a Japanese called Tetsuya Nishio. He is an expert of Suduko puzzles and is a dangerous genius. Everyday he spends hours together, in his suburb residence in Tokyo, thinking of fiendish ways of torturing the human brain. And do not be fooled by his bespectacled sober looks.

The Mathematical Suduko
The high level Suduko puzzles have the same deceivingly simple rules. You will encounter the same old digits from 1 to 9. But hold your breath, as this puzzle involves mathematics!! So, hone your math skills before thinking of playing this game.

In this puzzle, you will find dotted lines that contian digits at the top of the left corner of the grid. Here, you have to fill the spaces that fall within the dotted line in such a way that their sum is equal to the number scribbled on the left corner of the grid.

Think And Play
Do not make haste at the beginning. Think twice before you put the numbers in the spaces. A simple way to kick start the puzzle,is to detect the spaces and decide whether you should fill the lowest value digits first or the highest ones. Once, you are able to solve this stage of the puzzle, then it will be easy for you to reach the total that is written in the top left corner.

Suppose two spaces are connected with the digit '5' in the corner, it indicates that they must be comprised of digits '2' and '3'. Or if three spaces are connected with the digit '9', it indicates that they must be comprised of '2', '3' and '4'. Here is an example to throw some light on the more complex form, say, two cells are connected with the digits '15', then it implies that they must be comprised of '7' and '8'. There are many such examples to quote. However, it is YOU who has to determine the exact place to put these numbers. This is where the actual game lies!

So, are you game for the Killer Suduko?
