Killer Samurai Sudoku

Killer Samurai (Black and White)

In response to the feedback received on this site I have created a black and white version of Killer Samurai Sudoku to help those who only have access to a black and white printer.

At the moment only one of the puzzles is available as black and white as this is just a trial (This is the same puzzle as KS 10 in colour). I welcome your feedback on this puzzle below.

7)	Today, every time I try to download a puzzle i get 'Daniel Mitchell's Blog' Very frustrating! Comment by: Mike Cahill. Made on the 30th Sep 2006.

8)	Apologies Mike and others. Godaddy who is hosting all the images and downloads for this site, screwed up my domain. However I have now resolved the issue, and now you can download the puzzles. Sorry once again. Comment by: Daniel (Site Owner). Made on the 02nd Oct 2006.

9)	this is just gr8. i was looking for just killer sudoku altough i was aware of sudoku-samurai. but this is (killer-samurai) more than challenging. hope you consider to create puzzles with white cells only and with dots around the total cells. Comment by: Joseph. Made on the 01st Nov 2006.

10)	genius is the only word.surely far beautiful than all my love . as challenging as daphne in rebecca. i would love it . Comment by: maxim de winter. Made on the 18th Jan 2007.

11)	Puzzle 20 does not print very well, and puzzle 21 cannot be found. Please can you get as many killer samurai up on the website in black & white similar to that style used for puzzle 10? It was fantastic! Comment by: Phil. Made on the 28th Mar 2007.

12)	I love these. Sometimes the sums are almost unreadable. if you store these as gif instead of jpeg perhaps they will look better. Comment by: PeteTy. Made on the 14th May 2007.

13)	Love your site. So glad to see the black and white as I had trouble reading the numbers through the color. I did reduce the quality of color printing which lightened it up some. Thanks! Comment by: Kathy. Made on the 27th Jul 2007.

14)	U should create a macro in excel to convert ur puzzles to black and white. Also 4 every puzzle provide a black and white version4 those without a colour printer Comment by: Damien. Made on the 28th Oct 2007.

hi there and thanks for the puzzles. i just came across your site for the first time but i've been doing killer sudoku for years now and found something strange in your puzzles. usually numbers can not be reapeted within the same sum/box but in yours they do.
appologies if that was raised before.

(The puzzles is basically a combination of a Samurai Sudoku puzzle and a Killer Sudoku Puzzle.)
