Re: For the Sudoku crowd -- Hexadecimal Sudoku? Message #21 Posted by Paul Brogger on 10 July 2006, 7:15 p.m., in response to message #20 by Howard Owen
I think you just need nine symbols for a three-by-three puzzle, and they started with '1' rather than '0'.
For a four-by-four puzzle, one could use the sixteen symbols '1'-'G', or (more familiar to some programmers, at least) '0'-'F'.
I guess I'm not very picky . . .
Hey, Wikipedia has a good article, with variations. Look!
And another twist: how about three-by-three-by-three ("three cubed"?) Sudoku? (Might be hard to do on paper -- you'd need nine sheets and an ability to visualize the spatial relationships.)
