Probably just because it says (solution tomorrow) above the puzzle.

 Re: what do people think of the Friday difficult Killer Sudo
I found today's DKS to be uncharacteristically easy to solve via FAS, though the logic steps were a bit different from the norm.
I'll post my FAS breakdown once the solution has been revealed on Sunday.

I'll post my FAS breakdown once the solution has been revealed on Sunday. That's good to know. I looked at it for about ten minutes and failed to make any progress. ![Unsure [unsure]](./images/smilies/msp_unsure.gif) I must try again.

 Re: what do people think of the Friday difficult Killer Sudo
It looks as if the difficulty level of the Friday KS has been ratcheted up again. I had struggled for a while when the difficulty level was initially increased, but then I seemed to have got the hang of it and solved several in a row. But I failed miserably with last Friday's puzzle (I was only able to make progress on the three columns to the right) and I also failed to solve the previous week's puzzle.
If anyone is prepared to post a step by step guide to how they solved this week's puzzle, I'd love to see it.

 Re: what do people think of the Friday difficult Killer Sudo
I tried it a number of times and gave up......but then again I had trouble with the 2 on the previous day as I couldn't get either of them ![Sad [sad]](./images/smilies/msp_sad.gif) !!!
