Why, bones? A bit dismissive! Perhaps you are not familiar with this type of puzzle, they a good to do:)

Always enjoy these - love the confluence of multiple deductions required to solve them.

I think his comment was in effect saying he thought there were multiple solutions. Bones, in a Sudoku XV puzzle if there is NO 'x' or 'v' between two squares then they do NOT sum to 5 or 10. With this rule, the puzzle has a unique solution.

In this case the sum of the two squares is not 5 or 10. Is it true, gareth?

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'.
