LMI-Überbleibsel - Rank Killer

(Published on 22. March 2013, 12:00 by Richard)

Logic Masters India hosts a sudoku contest every month. I had the honor to prepare the puzzles for the coming contest. It will be held from 23 till 25 March 2013. It will be called "Variations to Variants"; A set of 14 sudoku variants, two per page. I have made a variation to seven more or less known variants. Almost all variants are published here in the portal earlier by me.

As always the case after making puzzles for a contest, I had a few unused puzzles and I would like to share them here in the portal. At the same time, I can make same extra advertisement for the contest. Participation is free, only a registration at LMI is necessary. You can solve the puzzles whenever you like in the weekend. After downloading the .pdf-file you have two hours time to submit your solutions. You can find the instruction booklet here.

Rank Killer
Place the digits from 1 to 9 in each row, column and 3x3-block. The small numbers in the upper left of the dotted outlined areas are the sum of the digits in that area. Within a dotted outlined area all digits must be different. A digit ‘X’ in a circle means that the digit in the cell is the X-th smallest number in the corresponding area.

Interessant mit den Ranking-Zahlen, hat mir nach kleinen "Start-Schwierigkeiten" besonders gut gefallen!

@flaemmchen: 1st is smallest, 4th the biggest in an area of size 4.

Eine Verständnisfrage: Ist in einem 4er-Gebiet die "4.-kleinste Zahl" die kleinste oder die grösste von allen vier Zahlen?
