This file contains the weekly Sudoku puzzles from www.Sudoku-xls.com as a standardised text file. This format can be used when the graphics version is unreadable. It may also prove useful when used by the blind or visually impaired in combination with a speech synthesiser. The layout of the classic Sudoku puzzles and the Sudoku Mini-sam should be pretty self evident. The one which may need some clarification is the Sudoku Tanto puzzle. To solve a Sudoku Tanto puzzle you need to complete the grid so that all the numbers 1-9 appear in every row of 9 column of 9 and box of 9. Additionally, in the standardised format, the missing even numbers (2,4,6 & 8) are indicated by a plus sign "+" and the missing odd numbers by a minus sign "-". A Sudoku mini-sam comprises of 2 overlapping Sudoku 6 puzzles. It should be completed so that, for each of the 2 overlapping puzzles, all the numbers 1-6 appear in every row of 6, column of 6 and box of 6. Any comments or questions should be addressed to the Sudoku-xls webmaster by email at webmaster@sudok-xls.com.
