An interesting puzzle to do, with just the right amount of clues to set one going. Enjoyable and satisfying to complete.

actually, clues were in excess.

my last several digits fell in place just by putting missing digits in a row or a column, I didn't have to look at clues.

intereting trivia found on net.

Calcudoku is also called KenKen, or KenDoku, or Mathdoku

And it was invented as recent as in 2004 by Japanese math teacher Tetsuya Miyamoto.

The name derives from the Japanese word for cleverness (賢 ken, kashiko(i)).

sad to know that KenDoku and Mathdoku are copyrighted names, so others not having permission to use these names have to use other two names. I think proper nouns should not be copyrighted.

Interesting, vsrawat; we are back to the same point about whether there are too many clues; here I was only making the point that there were enough obvious clues to get started. There always seem to be "too many clues" so some are unnecessary, but puzzles would be much too difficult if there was only one way of solving them and probably difficult,too, to set up:) I like being able to try again sometimes and go down a different route.

I really enjoyed the puzzle. I usually find calcudokus very difficult and get frustrated . This was just right for me.

Key

  • A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
  • Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
  • If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
  • Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
