Featured Puzzle: Tridoku #1

ByJacob Valdez

Today we have an interesting Sudoku variant. The Christmas tree displayed is a Tridoku puzzle. Fill in each cell of the tree with the digits 1-9. You may not repeat any numbers in:

  • Any 9-cell large triangle
  • The legs of the large outer triangle
  • The legs of the inner triangle

The red ornaments are purely decorative, not a separate region. They belong to both the inner and outer triangles.

Be on the lookout for a future Tridoku Solving Guide.

Featured Puzzle: Leapfrog #1

Happy Leap Day! Every four years, we make up for the fact that the solar year is about 6 hours longer than the 365 days on the Gregorian calendar. To do so, we simply add an extra day at the end of February. This was actually a major plot point in The Pirates of Penzance.

Today’s puzzle is Leapfrog. The Japanese name is Satogaeri, literally “coming home.” This is the first puzzle I’ve introduced in which you must visualize movement. Move the frogs so that each region contains exactly one frog.
