Modified the solution to make it technically correct. If you've already solved it, it's ok - the basic idea is there.

Thanks to deo for the correction!

Challenges down
Posted by Pha. Pharaoh Sphinx Singapore

I'll be disabling the challenges to rework a table. I expect this to be a smooth process so hopefully they will be up in 15 mins ;)

Update: done!

As part of the table re-work, we decided to take away the meta tag "author" in the challenges to save one sql and a [Read More]

Posted by Pha. Pharaoh rpanman United Kingdom

Hi Sphinx

It might just be my internet connection but I just cannot complete this in time. It takes approx 0.6 to 0.7 seconds for each page fetch and on average you seem to need about 25 page fetches to cover everything (25*0.6 = 15 seconds). I'm happy to leave my [Read More]

problem with challenge
Posted by Scr. Scribe sghavoc Romania

I've managed to solve the Sudoku II (Level 4/6)...and I have the printscreen to prove it. However, it says it's wrong. Can it be that the Sudoku has more than one solution and you're not checking against all of them?

For any answers, just write me at sghavoc@yahoo.com [Read More]

When I submit a solution to 6/5 (probably too slowly) I get the Rankk error page, presumably this is wrong... I di check the HTML to make sure this wasn't part of the challenge :-)

 Thanks for the continuing challenges!  [Read More]

Sphinx, there's an error in the challenge.

The last number should be 2, not 28 :)
