200 puzzle series November 09, 2012 07:23PM |
As Sue has mentioned in another thread you have been busy Gareth! What a great selection of puzzles books! Such temptation! I have already bought the Sudoku XV, Inequality Sudoku and Mystery Killer Sudoku Pro and several others have made their way onto my wish list!!
I think the KIller Zero and Outside Sudoku might be the next ones to make their way into my basket. No need to be stuck for puzzles for months now!
I don't wish to appear greedy but how about Kropki and Arrow Sudoku selections! Not that I will be in need for a while but they are two of my favourites right now.
Anyway, I quite understand if you are heartily sick of creating puzzles for the moment!
Thanks a lot for all these titles - great to see them

Have just discovered this series and have bought Sudoku XV, which, incidentally arrived from Amazon within 2 days, and am already into it. A Kropki book would be good as well.......But thanks for all you are providing
Have been hoping for a set of XV for some time, will you be adding one to your website, Gareth? I rather enjoy the interaction and seeing how other people respond. First thing each morning I check to see what is on offer for the day and how everyone is getting on!

I've been working on Kropki Sudoku and Arrow Sudoku books thanks to the above requests - both should be available from Amazon in the next couple of days!

Jane - you sound as addicted to puzzles as me!!!
Gareth - I've just ordered both the Kropki and the Arrow sudoku. Thanks for responding to the requests - much appreciated. I've never been so well off for puzzles

On the subject of Samurais, I've been working on making sets of these for years so I'm pretty much all ready to get going on publishing some books (finally, after many requests!).
I've done some research and it looks like the standard book size is 100, so I can't really go smaller than that unfortunately! So looks like I'll do books of 100 or 101. That increases the printing costs but I won't put the price up relative to the 200 series.

Have just succumbed and bought some more of these 200 series, Futoshki, Kropki and, possibly my favourite, Jigsaw Killers and await their arrival with anticipation. A late birthday present to myself! Thanks again, Gareth.
Glad to hear Inequalities cause problems to others I'm more concerned about the actual inequalities than the basic rules for sudoku when trying to solve these and this is how I personally rate them when on puzzlemix.com.
Must have a cup of coffee and get back to Sudoku XV.............

On second thoughts, use of 'x' wings also affects my rating so it is not easy to assess taking everything into consideration.
P.S. What happens if we get the sum above wrong??

My order for 3 sets of 200 puzzles has just arrived, in record time. I ordered on Sunday p.m. only used free business class and they all came this morning, Tuesday. So no need for super delivery etc!! I'm now set up for Christmas
In case you check, Gareth, I purposely put in the wrong answer to 20 plus 15 just to see what would happen, I did really know the right answer

Ah, the sum you're referring to is the "anti-spam" bit of the forum! The sum you get is random, Elisabeth, so I had to think for a minute about what you were referring to! I can't see what you're asked or what you enter, so nothing to worry about there. 
I think if you get it wrong your message won't appear, although it should tell you so!
You can create an account on this forum if you want; then you won't need to enter that spam check in future. I have an account so I haven't that seen that sum request for years - I'd completely forgotten it existed, to be honest!

Have got started on my collection of 200 puzzles and enjoying them all. So far no problems with Futoshiki and Sudoku XV, but have only done the first few. I have difficulty getting started on Kropki, but once I have a foothold everything goes OK. Jigsaw Killers start off being quite tough,but enjoyable. I love the way the digits all fit together in these, which I find very satisfying. I hope you enjoy them, Sue; next year, like me, you will have more time (hopefully!), I've been retired for longer than I like to remember and hope these puzzles keep the brain cells ticking over
Gareth, I was told my 'sum' was incorrect and obediently corrected it so my comment was allowed through. Was just curious to know what happened!!

Can I make a request? If you have bought any of these books on Amazon would you mind posting a brief review of some of them? Reviews help people make purchasing decisions (even bad reviews) which in turn drive sales and means I can carry on making more books - so it's a virtuous circle.
Indeed the same applies for any of my other content on Amazon too. Thanks!
