Imagine a completed sudoku grid, with all the numbers filled in. You can mutate the puzzle in a number of ways: - Swap two numbers over (eg, swap the positions of 3's with positions of 6's and vice versa) - Change round three rows in a floor (eg, you can swap the positions of the top three rows, but only with each other), or three columns in a stack. And there are some more, but I'll leave you to find them out: http://vanhegan.net/sudoku/dictionary.php _________________ Free daily sudoku - Online puzzle database http://vanhegan.net/sudoku/ Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Sudoku Programmers Forum Index -> Setting sudoku All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Sudoku----------------Solving sudokuSetting sudokuProgramming sudokuThe mathematics of sudokuExotic sudoku Library----------------PuzzlesSoftwareSudoku elsewhere Not sudoku----------------Random thoughtsForum feedback  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum   Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group Igloo Theme Version 1.0 :: Created By: Andrew Charron
