Sudoku banter

Post by Hangmanfan »

Found it on a gameswarehouse (Paragon? Maybe the sticker/ badge was ripped off) termainal, which on a sidenote has got 4 pint "grooves"!

If you're sober and good at sudoku then could be quite a generous game, but has anyone ever filled the in all the empties? What happens?

I achieved a score of 182 and another one higher, which was close to completing the grid. The higher score got me to £1.90, but it only dishes pounds out so I only walked away with £1, the tight c***s

if i'm thinking of the same version you just get a new grid.
have had up to 300ish points but that is not the best strategy if you are looking to make a profit.
it disappeared from my 'hood a while ago so not played it lately.
nobody ever wins on those things.

My kids just got his 'A' level results. Didn't do too bad. Got an 'A' in general studies (who didn't?), but there was a funny essay question on this year's exam.

'Sudoku is shit. Discuss'

Surely you jest?

Or am I just being gullible.

Hmmm I wonder how this game works. I have a sudoku game on my PDA. You can clear the grid, stick in the numbers you want, for example the puzzle in a paper and hit solve and it will do all the hard work for you ;) I wonder if that would help on this game :)

However, I guess one problem is you have to know the order in which they are meant to be. So if I solve it on my PDA and start left to right top to bottom, the most upper left empty box might not directly be solvable by logical deduction (i.e. it may have more than one possible number to put in) so the machine will know something is wrong if I do that. (getting it right by luck rather than by skill). But still presumably the machine wouldn't not pay out unless you were wrong, but if you did particularly well it would just stop paying out? (like on word up, if you keep winning, the score to aim for increases)
