9 conjoined square tile puzzles in a frame; three rows of three.
each square contains 8 clear perspex tiles numbered 1 - 4 and 6 9 and there is a space where one tile is missing. each tile has its number painted on the front. number 5 is represented by the missing tile.
at the back of the frame,
the player can clip and unclip fresh su doku puzzles that come in the form of a printed card. each card (depending on degree of difficulty) will show from 20 35 of the numbers in their correct position.
with the new card in place, flip the puzzle and commence play.
the rules of su doku are that you have to fit every digit from 1 9 in any order into every row (left to right), each column (top to bottom) and each box of nine squares).
with this puzzle frame, you do not need a pencil and rubber (eraser) but you simply shunt the little tiles around until all the tiles are in the correct place. there is only ever one correct solution to each puzzle.
I would have thought magnetic tiles easier to move around

Su Doku...wasn't he a Sith? |
|
|
I think you are missing the point somewhat, DC. |
|
|
[po] sounds like you've been playing Soduko!. |
|
|
I agree with the good Doctor's prognosis about magnetic tiles. Also, I could be being dense here, but why are all the 5's missing? |
|
|
you need a missing tile in a tile puzzle to move the pieces around (will try to find a picture) and so I have identified the 5 (middle number) as that digit! |
|
|
[po] - That is fiendish! I can complete most Su Doku's, but have never finished one of those moving tile thingys (short of breaking and reassembling them). I will never, ever finish one of these. It would bend my mind and ruin my sanity. |
|
|
Oh I know of those weird puzzle things. I hadn't realised that this was what you were referring to. I share [wagster]'s success record with those dastardly things. This would seem an elegant thing to do with a completed puzzle but until then surely you would have trouble remembering which parts of the puzzle you had already completed. |

[po] Well, I asked a old Japanses mate, and he reckoned
"¯ÉóMµÜ·B@
@»êÉæèAPêÚ±Æ
@ÍÙÈéÑæð̺
@ÅA]Ìø¦«âÀ
@è«ÈÇð²"! But I guess you knew that, right? So, in other words, the blank would have to be either a 2 or 7 to work properly. (This loses it in translation. see link) |
|
|
[dub] lied - he doesn't have any mates. |
|
|
[po]sticks and stones...
[AWOL]Yes I do... I have a packet dated 1993, if you must know. |
|
|
I did Beach Su Doku this summer - just like normal Su Doku but you draw out the grid really big, on the sand. |

[po] I was trying to be witty. It seems, I was only half right. |
|
|
Sorry, [thekat], I don't understand your
comment on the link you've attached? |
|
|
[po] I think you should have called it supoku :) |
|
|
possibly. I actually like this idea - which is odd. |
