A Sudoku 3D

Hello everybody,
This weekend I found a web-page with a great sudoku, a 3D one!!! It's in Spanish, but it's quite easy to download them: cruz.grama.oherrero. com
They are published every Saturday. Only three have been published so far, and I have solved them all. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Too bad the explanations are also in Spanish, the PDF is huge and the website is rather slow.

With only the diagram included in instructions, I managed to solve one of the puzzles this way:

Solve the top puzzle (it's easy, singles only).

Solve one of the other puzzles (best to work from top to bottom) as far as possible, upto the point where you can figure out which of the 9 3x3 boxes from the top puzzle can be transferred to the empty (clueless) box. Once you transferred this box, the puzzle solves easily.

Each of the top boxes must be transferred to one of the empty spaces in the other puzzles. The more you transfer, the easier it becomes to transfer the remaining boxes.

The concept is nice, but these puzzles are not particulary hard. There's also no 3D involved. The same puzzle could have been made on a flat surface.

I'm not sure what do yoo mean by "they are ALSO in Spanish"; I know the instructions are also in English (on the top left right above the Sudoku 3D). You are right is can be done in a surface, but I thought the concept was quite interesting.
