I have completed another puzzle. Unlike my first puzzle, this one should be much harder.

3x3::k:2560:3329:3329:2562:0000:0000:0000:3331:3331:2560:0000:5124:2562:0000:3333:0000:0000:5894:0000:0000:5124:5124:5124:3333:1543:1543:5894:0000:2568:2568:0000:0000:0000:3081:5894:5894:0000:0000:1802:0000:0000:0000:3081:0000:0000:5387:5387:1802:0000:0000:0000:1292:1292:0000:5387:3597:3597:2318:4111:4111:4111:0000:0000:5387:0000:0000:2318:0000:2064:4111:0000:1041:3090:3090:0000:0000:0000:2064:2835:2835:1041:

Hi again JBeck2862
Unfortunately, according to JSudoku, Another Killer is not a valid puzzle because it has at least 2 solutions. Jsudoku ("Solve" menu then "Check Grid Validity") from http://jcbonsai.free.fr/sudoku/JSudoku.exe or http://jcbonsai.free.fr/sudoku/JSudoku.jar

Cheers
Ed

There is supposed to be a 5 in the central box. the code i pasted does not have one for some reason.

OK, good. Here is the corrected code
triple click code:
3x3::k:2560:3329:3329:2562:0000:0000:0000:3331:3331:2560:0000:5124:2562:0000:3333:0000:0000:5894:0000:0000:5124:5124:5124:3333:1543:1543:5894:0000:2568:2568:0000:0000:0000:3081:5894:5894:0000:0000:1802:0000:1291:0000:3081:0000:0000:5388:5388:1802:0000:0000:0000:1293:1293:0000:5388:3598:3598:2319:4112:4112:4112:0000:0000:5388:0000:0000:2319:0000:2065:4112:0000:1042:3091:3091:0000:0000:0000:2065:2836:2836:1042:
It gets a score of 8.25 and JSudoku has a terrible time so I won't be trying it. Sorry. 1.50 is more my territory.

Cheers
Ed

Just out of curiosity I imported Ed's code string into SudokuSolver.

This puzzle has far more open space than any I've ever attempted; I'm surprised that it has a unique solution. I won't be trying it. Most Assassins have SS scores in the 1.5 to 2.0 range.

However, if you can produce puzzles in that range, you're welcome as a new puzzle creator. I'm the opposite, I enjoying solving Killer Sudokus and some puzzles on the Other Variants forum, but I've never been tempted to try to create puzzles.

I'm amazed that this is unique with so much open space. I've made puzzles with a lower number of cages but these were very large: sixes and sevens so little open space.

I've loaded the puzzle in JSudoku and added a few cages to bring it down to assassin level. SS gives it 1.55 but I think that that is an overstatement as JS solves it without fishes although very laboriously.

JS Code:
3x3::k:2560:3329:3329:2562:29:30:2587:3331:3331:2560:1050:5124:2562:31:3333:2587:32:5894:33:1050:5124:5124:5124:3333:34:35:5894:36:2568:2568:2582:2582:3095:3081:5894:5894:37:38:1802:2584:39:3095:3081:40:3100:5388:5388:1802:2584:2069:2069:1293:1293:3100:5388:3598:3598:2319:4112:4112:4112:41:42:5388:43:44:2319:45:2065:4112:46:1042:3091:3091:47:48:49:2065:2836:2836:1042:

More White Space - 34

In order to minimize cages I started with an easy 17 givens vanilla. I then made each given into a doublet. not surprisingly a lot of solutions after playing around a bit I got to a unique solution with 34 spaces and it is assassin level, SS gives it 1.55 and JS uses 8 big fishes.

I'm sure it can be increased quite a bit but I have no idea of the maximum. I'll post this on the other site in case they have any views.

Note I believe the minimum number of cages is 14, see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=804

Interesting puzzles, about Assassin level but not suitable for regular Assassins. More White Space 34 was the easier of these two puzzles; it doesn't have any 45s but is solvable mainly because most of the cages are within a nonet.

I don't know JSudoku and very little about fishes. I used a number of forcing chains; I'd only call one of them moderate length, the rest were shorter.

Here is my walkthrough for More White Space 34:
Prelims

a) R12C2 = {17/26/35}, no 4,8,9
b) R12C3 = {79}
c) R1C78 = {18/27/36/45}, no 9
d) 15(2) cage at R2C6 = {69/78}
e) 12(2) cage at R3C5 = {39/48/57}, no 1,2,6
f) R45C5 = {18/27/36/45}, no 9
g) R45C6 = {14/23}
h) R5C12 = {59/68}
i) R89C2 = {15/24}
j) R89C8 = {17/26/35}, no 4,8,9
k) 8(3) cage at R1C5 = {125/134}
l) 6(3) cage at R2C7 = {123}
m) 10(3) cage at R3C2 = {127/136/145/235}, no 8,9
n) 24(3) cage at R4C8 = {789}
o) 24(3) cage at R7C1 = {789}
p) R7C456 = {123}

7e. R3C7 = 7 -> R2C6 = 8
7f. R4C4 = 9 -> R3C5 = 3, clean-up: no 6 in R4C5

and the rest is naked singles.

I'll rate my walkthrough at 1.5 for my last forcing chain.

Then, having solved More White Space 34 I went back to HATMAN modification of J Beck's non-human-solvable killer. The harder of these two, even though it did have a few 45s. I was surprised at HATMAN's comment that JSudoku didn't use any fishes; I used some forcing chains, finding the right ones was the hardest part of this puzzle.

Step 9b corrected; also a few minor changes.
Here is my walkthrough:
Prelims

a) R12C1 = {19/28/37/46}, no 5
b) R1C23 = {49/58/67}, no 1,2,3
c) R12C4 = {19/28/37/46}, no 5
d) R12C7 = {19/28/37/46}, no 5
e) R1C89 = {49/58/67}, no 1,2,3
f) R23C2 = {13}
g) R23C6 = {49/58/67}, no 1,2,3
h) R4C23 = {19/28/37/46}, no 5
i) R4C45 = {19/28/37/46}, no 5
j) R45C6 = {39/48/57}, no 1,2,6
k) R45C7 = {39/48/57}, no 1,2,6
l) R56C3 = {16/25/34}, no 7,8,9
m) R56C4 = {19/28/37/46}, no 5
n) R56C9 = {39/48/57}, no 1,2,6
o) R6C56 = {17/26/35}, no 4,8,9
p) R6C78 = {14/23}
q) R7C23 = {59/68}
r) R78C4 = {18/27/36/45}, no 9
s) R89C6 = {17/26/35}, no 4,8,9
t) R89C9 = {13}
u) R9C12 = {39/48/57}, no 1,2,6
v) R9C78 = {29/38/47/56}, no 1

1a. 45 rule on N5 1 innie R5C5 = 5, clean-up: no 7 in R45C6, no 7 in R4C7, no 2 in R6C3, no 3 in R6C56, no 7 in R6C9
1b. Killer pair 1,2 in R6C56 and R6C78, locked for R6, clean-up: no 6 in R5C3, no 8,9 in R5C4
1c. R23C6 = {58/67} (cannot be {49} which clashes with R45C6), no 4,9

2a. Naked pair {13} in R23C2, locked for C2 and N1, clean-up: no 7,9 in R12C1, no 7,9 in R4C3, no 9 in R9C1
2b. Naked pair {13} in R89C9, locked for C9 and N9, clean-up: no 9 in R56C9, no 8 in R9C78

3a. Killer triple 3,4,5 in R45C7, R56C9 and R6C78, locked for N6
3b. 5 in N6 only in R45C7 = [57] or R56C9 = [75] (locking cages), 7 locked for R5 and N6, clean-up: no 3 in R6C4
[Alternatively I could have used the 45 in step 8a with 6 in N6 only in R4C89 + R5C8 so no 7 in them.]

4. 45 rule on C6 3 innies R167C6 = 12 = {129/147/246} (cannot be {138/345} which clash with R45C6, cannot be {156/237} which clash with R89C6), no 3,5,8

5. R7C23 = {59/68}, R9C12 = [39]/{48/57} -> combined cage R7C23 + R9C12 = {59}{48}/{68}[39]/{68}{57}, 8 locked for N7

6. 45 rule on N1 3 innies R2C3 + R3C13 = 18 = {279/459/567} (cannot be {468} which clashes with R1C23), no 8

7. 45 rule on N1 2 outies R3C45 = 1 innie R3C1 + 2, IOU no 2 in R3C45

[Now it gets harder.]
8a. 45 rule on N6 3 innies R4C89 + R5C8 = 16 = {169/268}
8b. Consider combinations for R4C89 + R5C8
R4C89 + R5C8 = {169} => R4C23 and R4C45 both cannot be {19} which clashes with R4C89 (ALS block)
or R4C89 + R5C8 = {268}, locked for N6, R6C78 = {14}, locked for R6, 4 locked for N6 => R56C9 = [75], R6C56 = {26}, 6 locked for R6, R56C3 = [43] => R4C23 = [91] (cannot be {28} which clashes with R4C89 + R5C8, ALS block), locked for R4
-> R4C45 = {28/37/46}, no 1,9
[Note. I could have taken the R4C89 + R5C8 = {268} path through to a contradiction but that’s not my solving style, I’ll look for an alternative method to make that elimination.]
8c. 1 in N5 only in R56C4 = [19] or R6C56 = {17} -> R56C4 = [19/28]/{46} (cannot be {37}, locking-out cages), no 3,7

9a. Consider combinations for R23C6 = {58/67}
R23C6 = {58}
or R23C6 = {67}, locked for C6 and N2 => R89C6 = {35}, 3 locked for C6 => R45C6 = {48}, R6C4 = 9 (hidden single in N5), R5C4 = 1 => R12C4 = {28}
-> 8 in R12C4 + R23C6, locked for N2
9b. Consider combinations for R78C4 = {18/27/36/45}
R78C4 = {18/27}, locked for C4 => 8 in N2 only in R23C6 = {58}
or R78C4 = {36/45} => R89C6 = {17/26} (cannot be {35} which clashes with R78C4) => 5 in C6 only in R23C6 = {58}
-> R23C6 = {58}, locked for C6 and N2, clean-up: no 2 in R12C4, no 4 in R45C6, no 3 in R89C6
[I hadn’t expected R78C4 to crack this puzzle, mostly easier from here.]
9c. Naked pair {39} in R45C6, locked for N5, 9 locked for C6, clean-up: no 7 in R4C45, no 1 in R5C4

9j. Killer pair 4,8 in R56C4 and R78C4, locked for C4, clean-up: no 6 in R12C4, no 2,6 in R4C5

10a. R2C3 + R3C13 (step 6) = {279/459/567}
10b. 20(4) cage at R2C3 = {1469/2369/3467} (cannot be {1379} = {79}{13} which clashes with R3C2, cannot be {2459/2567} = {25}[94]/{25}{67} because R2C3 + R3C13 only contains one of 2,5), no 5
10c. Killer pair 1,3 in R3C2 and 20(4) cage, locked for R3
10d. Killer pair 1,3 in R12C4 and 20(4) cage, locked for N2

10f. 1 in N3 only in R12C7 = {19}, 9 locked for C7 and N3, clean-up: no 4 in R1C89, no 2 in R9C8
10g. R2C8 = 3 (hidden single in N3) -> R23C2 = [13], R6C78 = [32], R12C7 = [19], R2C4 = 7 -> R1C4 = 3, R1C6 = 4, clean-up: no 9 in R1C23
10h. R1C15 = [29] (hidden pair in R1) -> R2C1 = 8, R2C5 = 2 (hidden single in N2), R23C6 = [58], clean-up: no 5 in R1C23, no 4 in R9C2

10j. Naked pair {48} in R56C9, locked for C9 -> R1C89 = [85]

11a. 8 in N9 only in 16(4) cage at R7C5 = [31]{48}, clean-up: no 8 in R78C4
11b. R9C7 = 6 (hidden single in N9) -> R9C8 = 5, R9C4 = 9, R9C2 = 8 -> R9C1 = 4
11c. R6C4 = 8 (hidden single in C4)

and the rest is naked singles.

Rating Comment:
I'll rate my walkthrough at Hard 1.5 because of the difficulty finding the right forcing chains.

Yes - agree with the previous comments. I tried the original puzzle and got nowhere. For the first time in years I ran JSudoku and tried to follow what it did. No joy :)

Anyway - thanks to jbeck for the original puzzle, and to HATMAN for the simpler version. After one tricky step at the beginning it all fell out quite easily for me, so I agree with HATMAN's comment in that 1.55 seems too high. Here's how I did it.
Corrections thanks to Andrew.
Another Killer WT:
1. Innies n5 -> r5c5 = 5
4(2)n1 = {13}
4(2)n9 = {13}

2. Innies n6 = r4c89 + r5c8 = +16(3) and must contain a 6 and one of (12)
-> Be from {169} or {268}
-> One of the 12(2)s in n6 must be {57}
-> Either r45c7 = [57] or r56c9 = [75]
-> 7 in n6 in r5c79

3! 5 in r4 only in r4c1 or r4c7
Given Innies n6 = +16(3) -> IOD r4 -> r4c1 + 15 = r5c678
-> Trying 12(2)r5c9 = [75] puts r4c1 = 5 puts r5c678 = +20(3) = {389}
But it also puts 23(4)r2c9 = {2489} which leaves no place for 6 in n6
-> 12(2)r4c7 = [57]

Straightforward from here

4. -> 12(2)r5c9 = {48}
-> 5(2)n6 = {23}
-> 8(2)n5 = {17}
-> (HS 3 in n5) 12(2)n5 = {39}
-> 8(2)n8 = {26}
-> 13(2)n2 - {58}

5. Also 23(4)r2c9 can only be {1679} with 1 in r4c8 and 7 in r23c9
-> r17c9 = [52]
-> r1c8 = 8

6. 11(2)n9 only from [47] or [65]
-> 10(2)n3 = {19}
-> 23(4)r2c9 = [{67}19] and r5c8 = 6
-> 12(2)n5 = [39]
Also Innies n3 = {234} with 4 in c8.

7. r36c7 = {23}
-> r789c7 = {468}
-> 16(4)r7c5 can only be [31{48}]
-> 11(2)n9 = [65]
Also -> 9(2)n8 = {45}
-> 10(2)r4c4 = [64]
-> 10(2)r5c4 = [28]

8. HS 3 in n2/c4/r1 -> 10(2)n2 = [37]
-> r39c4 = [19]
Also r23c9 = [67]
-> 13(2)n1 = {67}
-> 10(2)n1 = [28]

9. Also 4(2)n1 = [13]
-> 10(2)n3 = [19]
Also -> Uncaged cells n3 = [324]
-> 5(2)n6 = [32]

10. Also -> r2c3 = 4
-> 20(4)r2c3 = [4916]
-> r3c1 = 5
Also uncaged cells n2 = [942]

11. 4 in r9 only in r9c12
-> 12(2)n7 = [48]
-> 14(2)n7 = [95]
etc.
