Well, here we go again, another edition of the Saturday Monster Sudoku. I've been spending several hours today fiddling around with Excel, trying to make a faster way of putting these puzzles together, and I think I've finally got it worked out so that it will only take me a half hour or so to create a Monster Sudoku (rather than the four hours it used to take). Enjoy!
The rules of Monster Sudoku: The puzzle board consists of a 16 by 16 grid, which is further divided up into sixteen 4 by 4 blocks. In each row, column, and 4x4 block, the letters A through P each get written exactly once. There is only one solution. If the letters are a little too small for you, click on the image to bring up a large version. For those who need help, a short tutorial on how to solve sudoku puzzles can be found here.To solve this puzzle, I suggest first saving the GIF on your computer. Then print it out (or copy it out on graph paper) and solve it in pencil (or in pen if you're feeling bold). If you don't feel like using paper, then solve it using a graphics editor such as Microsoft Paint.
If you solve this puzzle, post your solution in the comments. The first person who posts the correct solution wins a prize: a permalink on my blogroll and a graphic declaring him or her to be the Monster Sudoku Champion, which can be displayed on their own blog. I will post the solution next Saturday if nobody else gets it by then.
If you want to play the regular 9 x 9 sudoku puzzle, just scroll down; there is a sudoku puzzle just before the cartoons, which you can play right on this blog.
Update: Kiraly solves another one! The correct solution is posted in the comments. Kiraly, if you have a website, feel free to post this graphic:Update: an easier-to-read version of the solution is available here.
