I don't think the solution to this puzzle was unique

Hi SaltyTiger,
The absence of a dot means that two numbers are not consecutive or one double the other.

So it's unique. :)

unless I'm mistaken the block of 4 cells in r6-r7, c4-c5 can be rotated 90 degrees and still be a valid solution

Hiya,

No, because the 8 at the bottom-left of that (which is a 9 in the correct solution) would be next to a 4, so would need a black dot between them.

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'.
