Cant quite get to grips with this , thought the kakuro rules would appy as in killer sudoku , so the 4 at bottom left should be possible , as 1,2,1 wouldnt be allowed as with some of the other numbers that when checking the answers have double ups in them.

Looking over your website I found where you say that a number CAN repeat in a group of squares the same color, as long as the Sudoku rules are not broken. What do you mean? That as long as the rows, columns, and 3x3 squares do not have repeats? Do you make any samurai's without the repeat thing? It's taken me a wile to get the hang of these allowing repeats!! :) Comment by: Jm L. Made on the 26th Apr 2006.

Hello Jim, I appreciate you might be finding it hard with the extra dificult cages. However I encourage you to continue to rise to the challenge and solve them. However in answer to your question, the first 10 or so one this site do not have repeat numbers in cages. Comment by: Daniel (Site Owner). Made on the 26th Apr 2006.

10)	In order to have a standardised set of rules for Killer Sudoku, I propose that we accept Kakuro solving rules where numbers cannot be repeated within a block. Comment by: CHAN Beng Seng. Made on the 29th Apr 2006.

11)	I am abandonning attempting all these puzzles owing to the fact that the author is using non-standard rules allowing repetition of numbers within a colour block. Comment by: David. Made on the 30th Apr 2006.

Thanks a lot Daniel! I'm really enjoying these puzzles. However, I must agree with some of the other comments (although one or two of them didn't have to be so snobbish about it), it would really be preferable to work on standard rules and not allow repetitions within the same colour zone. It gets confusing going from one set of rules to another. Other than that, this is really great! Also the newer colour scheme is much better, the first half of the puzzles don't print out so well on bubblejet (the numbers are a little hard to read). Comment by: Edward.

13)	Chan, David & Edward : That is an art :P Comment by: brian. Made on the 05th Aug 2006.

I think repetitions within the same colour zone can be allowed, cause the rules specify that repetition cannot occur just on column, row and 9-squares, not in colour zones. It makes puzzle more challenging, cause it forces you to think on repetition just on "L" zones through 9-squares. Comment by: Fabio. Made on the 22nd Mar 2008.

What is Killer Samurai Sudoku?

Killer Samurai Sudoku is an advance form of Sudoku that combines 5 interlocking Killer Sudoku to form 'Killer Samurai Sudoku'. It is a Number Puzzle that requires the player to use logic to place numbers onto the grid.

Rules

To solve the puzzle you must make sure that every column, row and 3x3 box in each larger 9x9 grid contains the numbers 1 through to 9. The colours on the puzzle are the cages which all contain a small number which is the sum total of all the squares in that caged area. (The puzzles is basically a combination of a Samurai Sudoku puzzle and a Killer Sudoku Puzzle.)
Almost all of the puzzles can be solved using logic alone and there is no need to guess. A puzzle can take from 1 hour to almost a day to complete depending on its level and your experience. More on the rules and tips for quick solving can be found here.
The puzzles along with their solutions can be found on this site.
