Download or read book The Hidden Logic of Sudoku written by Denis Berthier and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Hidden Logic of Sudoku" provides the first systematic perspective of the logical symmetries of the popular game. These are fully exploited to define new graphical representations, new kinds of resolution rules and a precedence ordering of the rules consistent with their logical complexity. The set of rules defined in the book is illustrated with a hundred of puzzles together with their full resolution paths. It suffices to solve almost any puzzle without making guesses or assuming the uniqueness of a solution. It has been fed into an Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine and a large database of puzzles has been processed, leading to a precise evaluation of the efficiency of each rule. The book is intended for both advanced Sudoku players (who will discover many new facets of the game and a new, systematic approach to the resolution rules) and for teachers or students of Logic or AI (who will appreciate the strict logical foundations).

Download or read book Puzzlewright Guide to Diagramless Crosswords written by Alex Eaton-Salners and published by Puzzlewright. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete introduction to solving diagramless crosswords, featuring dozens of puzzles! Diagramless puzzles (crosswords where the black squares aren't included, and solvers must figure out where they go) have been a popular crossword variant for decades, but they only appear rarely in newspapers and magazines. This means that there's a shortage of puzzles out there for diagramless fans. But this also causes another problem: if you've never solved a diagramless crossword before, they can seem intimidating, and there aren't a lot of opportunities to practice them. This book offers beginners extra help with solving, while offering plenty of puzzles for everyone. The extensive introductory guide woven through the book will provide step-by-step instruction, and some of the tips and tricks might be new even to veteran solvers. Starting a diagramless puzzle is the most challenging part, so multiple hints for each puzzle will help smooth the way for new solvers, while experienced solvers can go it alone without any hints for maximum challenge or pick and choose as they wish. Puzzles will start out easy and get more challenging, with crosswords of many different sizes and shapes included--and each grid's shape relates to its theme, adding to the solving satisfaction.
