Post subject: | Which book should be the next book? |
I've been trying to decide what type of book to do next, initially thinking something like a "holiday puzzle book" with sudoku + calcudoku + killer sudoku. Other ideas are: - a book with "ultra difficult" puzzles (a bit gimmicky maybe) - multiple books with puzzles in different sizes / difficulty levels (it looks like one author is already swamping Amazon with such books) - an online system where you can compile your own book: pick sets of the puzzles you like, then download a PDF - ? Preferences & suggestions welcome Patrick |

I like the idea of being able to download the puzzles that interest me plus I also have the opportunity to try other more difficult puzzles.......with a book, one is "stuck with" all the puzzles he/she cannot solve..........I am partial to twins up to 10x10's and the 10x10's patterned of today. |

Another option: simply a volume 3 of the "121 Advanced" book (once a book is ready it is relatively straight-forward to produce another volume with the same setup). Patrick |

I do not mind it if some puzzles do not earn points for this site. I think to appeal to more people it is good to start with easier puzzles so that one can learn from them, and include those solutions in the book. I will admit that I only do the puzzles that earn points for this site. I am grateful that several of the older books were in PDF format and I could print out the portion of those books with those puzzles. (Now to scour used book stores for the two books that are no longer available) I think the Killer Sudoku book was fine and enjoyed doing the puzzles and earning those points. But I think that since this site is more geared toward Calcudoku you should stick with mainly those puzzles. |

My favorite puzzles are the patterned puzzles of any size, the twin puzzles of any size, and killer sudoku. I am not interested in plain sudoku puzzles. I only do the puzzles with points; the site offers more than enough daily puzzle challenges! I prefer the pdf downloads. -Bev (bschwart) (edit by pnm: I moved the question about the book puzzle points to a separate topic: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=682, just to keep this thread "on topic") |

Suggestion: 61 puzzles with similar (high) level as in volume 2, scoring points, and 60 additional puzzles of all types with solutions in the book (in .pdf format if possible). |
