INTRODUCING 

SPIDER SUDOKU

THE BRAND NEW SUDOKU

SPIDER SUDOKU DISCOVERED BY BASSEY GODWIN BASSEY

          This is an 8 by 16 or 2(8-8) grid sudoku with 128 triangular cells and 16 square boxes. It is actually formed when an 8 by 8 grid is duplicated by dividing all the 16 boxes with diagonals making it a 2(8-8) grid sudoku and transforming the square cells into triangular cells thereby giving it its unique cobweb like appearance. Each of the 16 boxes in a spider sudoku contains 8 triangular cells, there are also clearly identifiable vertical and horizontal lines which may not be visible to a learner but will be made clear as you read on. 

           There are 16 vertical and horizontal lines each containing 8 triangular cells just as is contained in the boxes, lines are formed by pairs of similar triangles in each of the boxes identified according to their orientations on the grid, also to make it easier to identify lines, colours are used to distinguish each line as can be seen in the above diagram where horizontal lines are coloured blue, red, yellow and green. Also looking at the diagram vertically, vertical lines are coloured in pairs; red yellow, blue green, blue green and red yellow.

           The spider sudoku horizontal line: Each contains 8 triangles all similar in shapes and orientations on the grid, each coloured blue, red, yellow and green respectively as shown in the diagram above. There are 16 horizontal lines in a typical spider sudoku.

            The spider sudoku vertical line: Each contains 8 triangles all similar in shapes and orientaions on the grid, each coloured in pairs: red yellow and blue green respectively as shown in the diagram above. There are 16 vertical lines in a typical spider sudoku.

            The spider sudoku box: Each box contains 8 triangles coloured in pairs of red, blue, green and yellow respectively with bold lines bordering each box on the grid. There are 16 boxes in a spider sudoku.

 OBJECTIVES

             The objective is to fill the grid so that, each column, each row and each of the 16 boxes that compose the grid contains all of the digits from 1-8 only once. The numbers can appear in any order and diagonals are not considered. Your initial game board will consist of several numbers already placed. Those cannot be changed.
