Need a solving strategy for determination of cells in the 25+ and 27+ cages in the 9x9 of March 13.....i seem to be stumped or not seeing something crucial. Much Thanks!!! BTW -- new to this site about 9 days ago, and I am HOOKED!!! Great puzzles and website. Also appreciate the new SHIFT key feature that holds guesses..Got here just in time to use it. Saves printing paper etc! THANKS AGAIN! |

Same here, I was not able to find the correct numbers in the two 27+ cages. |

Not sure this will help, but check out clm's help on solving a 6x6 and Tuesday's 9x9 on the heading of "Solving Strategy and Tips" and sub topic of ".....show an analytical solution for 6x6" |

" instead of saying " ... using the yesterday's 9x9 (Puzzle id: 433452) ... "; the misunderstanding comes from the time tag of the post, but when I sent the comment the new date and puzzles for march 13 had already appeared in the site, of course, the time tag should show March 13... . Anyway, when I have time I will open a new post with the full solution for this 433452 (monday's 9x9 march 12, 2012) basically following the same procedures and then compacting the comments actually divided in the two "subtopics", and in order to have another full solution for a 9x9 (besides the one provided by sneaklyfox's in the youtube's video and the one written in the Forum by jomapil some time ago). In this moment, I understand that what rickt and arjen are asking for is a technique, strategy or similar to solve the tuesday's 9x9 march 13, 2012 (Puzzle id: 433483, solver rating 105.6). This is something totally different because this type of puzzle (usually the tuesday's 9x9 is the most difficult of the untimed, regular, puzzles along the week) requires a more detailed and extended analysis (and certainly several graphics so it will take time and possibly a few days to show the full process). More specifically they ask about how to find the candidates for the cages "25+", "27+"(h1) and "27+"(i2), I understand. But an important part of the puzzle must be solved before we are prepared to define first which are those candidates and secondly where to place them in the proper cells. I hope to have some extra time in the next days in order to cooperate in the discussion to clarify all the steps that we must follow until the final solution. |

A quick explanation of how I approach this style puzzle is by filling in the known numbers. Than divide puzzle into top, bottom, right & left sections. When you add all the known numbers & subtract from column totals or section totals, it will give you an available total for the x cells. once I arrive at the available total, I then evaluate the available combinations that fit the x cells. (x cells are mutiplication cells) I hope this quick explanation helps |

This is what I achieved. Too many unknown correct positions and running out of time. For the upper 27+: 1 4 5 8 9 2 4 5 7 9 2 4 5 8 8 3 4 5 7 8 And the lower 27+: 1 2 7 8 9 1 3 7 7 9 1 3 7 8 8 1 5 5 7 9 2 3 7 7 8 |

[quote="arjen"] It might help if you bolded a few more things. The double 6's in the 23+ cage can be bolded as they can not be in any other position. You can also look at rows 6 and 7. You can figure out that the 5 and 1 in row 7 can only be in 2 spots, hence they are fixed that makes row 7 columnn 5 be 8, thus r8c1=8. I think there is more... |

yes I do agree with the contents of the 25+ cage 57193 (top to bottom) |
