Hidoku # 3
- Details
As I explained recently, the Hidoku puzzle (Hidoku's Rules) is very versatile, the grid could take many shapes, like square Hidoku # 1 or even drawing forms likes Hidoku # 2. But another aspect that can be modified is the shape of the cells. In the last described puzzles all the cells are square. But nothing prevent us to modify this, by example we could have hexagonal cells (six sides). When the shape of the cells are modified then this could impact how go from on cell to another one to find the path. By example with a conventional square grid with square cells (showed in the next figure). It is agreed that a move from a cell can go horizontaly, verticaly or diagonaly of only one step.
So from the blue cell we can reach the 8 red cells.
But we can generalize that we could move from one cell (the starting cell) to any other cells that touch one corner of the starting cell. And we can apply this rule to any shape of cell (instead of saying to move horizontaly, verticaly, etc). Like for the octogonal cell. The following figure illustrates a portion of a grid with hexagonal cells. From the blue cell, with this rule (going to cell that touch a corner of the starting cell),
we are able to reach any of the six red cells. Notice that with hexagonal cells we are able to reach at most 6 cells instead of 8 for the square cells. All this is related to the specic geometry of the cells. A corner of a square is able to touch three cells and a corner of an hexagonal cell is able to touch two cells only.
Then just to tease you I present you three Hexagonal Hidoku puzzles. Try to find the path strating from the cell 1 and finishing with other cell having a circle.

This is the same thing than a Decagon Sudoku except that the Sudoku has 24 lines, 6 regions, each lines and region must have the numbers from 1 to 10.

Multi Sudokube # 6
- Details
I present you a Multi Sudokube puzzle (SudoKube) made of three cubes. In brief each cube contains a Sudoku. At first sight this puzzle looks surprising but each cube contains a Sudoku : each cube has 9 regions, columns and rows like a classic Sudoku. The rows/columns start on one side and finish to another side of the cube. You have to ignore the empty region (whithe space). This the standard rules of the Sudokube, but when you combine many Sudokube togethe, like this puzzle with three Sudokube then when two sides of two different Sudokube are touching these two faces create a new row or column.
The best way to enjoy this puzzle is to try it !!
