This weekend is the
Japanese Sums Contest on Logic Masters Deutschland. It will feature 14 different Japanese Sums puzzles, one standard and 13 variants. All puzzles will use a 1~6 digit subset, instead of the 1~9 digit set I prefer. the 1~6 digit subset is most likely chosen as this leaves for puzzles that can be solved far quicker as Japanese Sums puzzles tend to take relatively long to solve. My puzzle therefore will not be the best practise for this test as it uses digits 1~9 but it's fun to solve.
On an unrelated note, all puzzle sets from the 24 hour puzzle championship are available on the
WPF-forum. So if you have nothing to, that should give you plenty of puzzles to solve.
[Edit: Misclued number fixed in column 8]
Rules for Japanese Sums
where are the english instructions?
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming you mean for the LMD test?
DeleteWhen you click the flag on LMD you can switch the site to English. When you log in this is automatic.
To see the instructions and contest file you need to be logged in on the site. In the file instructions are in English in italics under the German instructions. There are no instructions in the puzzle file as stated in the instructions booklet.
Great, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble with double 4's in C6. Can I send you my partial solution?

DeleteI am getting error while solving it. Where I can find solution to this puzzle?
ReplyDeleteI am able to now get the answer. I was making mistake in column 5th giving two cells to top 8 which was leading to wrong answer. Thanks for this very nice puzzle.
