Kids' Sudoku Reward - April
Added 2023-04-15 15:03:17 +0000 UTCHi Patreons,
Here's a special mid-month reward, conceived as a way for kids to enjoy a sudoku hunt, or those who want some puzzles a bit easier than the regular monthly rewards!
Many thanks to Ashish Kumar, who created the first three of these puzzles, which are LINKED Sudoku - none of them can be fully solved individually, you have to use the fact that red, yellow and blue cells all contain different digits.
Then you have to work out which colour translates to which colour in the final grid, transfer the numbers, and solve the final puzzle to find out who wins the Super Mario Bros race, by taking the chequered flag! Links to the puzzles in our software are in the attached pdf (it IS now a pdf!)
Don't send us your answers; there's no prize - but of course we would be interested in hearing how your family got on with the puzzles and if you enjoyed them! Enjoy,
Simon & Mark

My 8 year old and I finally tackled this pack of puzzles. I was getting so frustrated that I couldn't solve puzzle one, then realized that we were supposed to hop between puzzles! We had fun incorporating logic explanations, "That's as useful as a chocolate teapot" and other Simon-isms into the experience. We both absolutely love sudoku and CTC content, and we really really enjoyed this approachable pack! Thank you thank you thank you for making and sharing this with us!!!

2023-05-05 06:15:38 +0000 UTCSeems to me that the first puzzle does not have a unique solution... I got stuck midway through and started guessing to get to a solution... then backtracked and tried a different guess and still got to a solution.

2023-04-26 19:06:15 +0000 UTCKarted by way through as my usual "Peachy" character taking about 15 mins each for the first 3 (done kind of simultaneously) and nearer 25 mins for deceptively tricky final grid. Thanks, Tony (age 65 & three-quarters)
