BINARY PUZZLE 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Complete the grid so that there are an equal number of 0 s and s in each row and column. The same digit cannot occur in more than two consecutive cells. There cannot be more than one row the same in each puzzle, or more than one column the same in each puzzle. So for instance two rows both containing exactly 0000 are not permitted, however there could be one row and one column that contain that combination.

CALCUDOKU 5+ + 9+ 3+ - 30x 6+ - + 4+ - 5x 4x 6x 0x 3 0+ Fill the grid so that the numbers 6 appear once in each row and column. Sums appear in the bold-lined shapes; therefore the numbers in these squares must be such that the sums are valid. Thus if there is a 6+ from two cells, then those cells might contain 4 and since they sum to 6. With division and subtraction, you always divide or take away the lower numbers from the highest number in a region.

ISOSUDOKU 5 4 3 9 8 8 5 7 9 5 6 7 3 The difference to ordinary sudoku is that the diagonals from the bottom left to the top right of the grid can also only contain a number once, just like the rows, columns and 3x3s boxes. However, unlike in the standard sudoku regions which all have nine cells, the diagonals in the isosudoku puzzle have a varying number of cells in them. In fact there is only one diagonal, the major diagonal from top left to bottom right, that contains nine cells and therefore to which all the standard logic from sudoku can be applied to. For the regions with less cells you will need to modify some of your usual solving rules!
