good grief..........wheres kosoro when you need him

[beerbelly]

no seriously . youve got 3 numbers in the bottom line .
its all about thinking of the vertical as well as horizontal .
so bottom row .first one cant be the 6 . fifth one cant be the 6
so you know the no.6 on the bottom row is next to the 5 .which means the no.6 in the next row up must go next to the no.3.
so i tend to go for a certain number .
but im no expert and theres probably an easier way
good luck

Evening beerbelly and shaneystar,

After posting this thread I thought I'd read the daily mail and on the first page inside there is one that is 9 x 9.  Can you believe I've just finished it (unreal) never done one before.  So I am going to go away and see if I can make sense of it.  Thanks for the website.  Debbie

No number has to be the same as the one next to it. I dont really know how to explain it. Sorry!

[kosoro]

Never tried one before so took up your challenge, not sure wether they are supposed to match diagonally

Sorry jude you got there first

[Jude123]

That's ok koroso.

I divided them up into 6 boxes of 6 squares in each then worked out which number went where without being the same as the one next to it. Well I think that's what I did!! :o)

[kosoro]

Jude ..I did the same, I'm going to try the Daily Mail one now

[shaneystar]

I am now totally confused and think I will go and lie down!
Goodnight all x

Hello Everyone,

Yes I completed it and made it the same as jude123 and kosoro ( I did honest) but you got here before me.  I'm thrilled now found a new comp I can conquer.  I would explain it as count the numbers of squares across and down and in this case 6, using numbers 1 to 6 across and 1 to 6 down and 1 to 6 in its own square only once, complete the puzzle.  Debbie

Great Debbie, you'll get hooked now!!

I'm sure I will now jude123 especially if there is a prize incentive.
