Revisiting Wex 435
This post updates the Weekly Extreme Review with a revisit of Wex 435, a puzzle that proved resistant to the single alternate Sue de Coq and was deemed the toughest in the review series, inspiring an extreme ALS trial, the … Continue reading
Closing the Weekly Extreme Review
This is the final post of the Sysudoku WEC collection review. It opens with a checkpoint on the finish of a pink/olive pattern analysis and with it, Weekly Extreme Competition 435. A review table shows the features found in each … Continue reading
The ALS Jump Ball
The last review puzzle from the Weekly Extreme Competition, Wex 435, evades the Sue de Coq to give us: a precaution about grouped forcing chains in XYZ-wings, a genuinely extreme patterns trial, and an obvious form of ALS trial to … Continue reading
A Tracing Exercise with Wex 434
A careful marking session finishes Wex 434 in box marking! This surprising event demonstrates how 2-D depth first tracing fully exploits removals and confirmations. My first time through to a solution I considered Wex 434 among the most deserving of … Continue reading

Wex 429 is Sued
In the review of a sequence of 10 Weekly Extreme Competition puzzles, Wex 429 is toppled by an easily verified Sue de Coq. The post begins with a checkpoint for the reader’s own solution of Wex 428 by single alternate … Continue reading

A Colorful Verification Creams Wex 427
The second Weekly Extreme review puzzle, 427 is prey of a Sue de Coq verification trial, but I had to get out the crayons to do it. Non WECers, did you like your first Weekly Extreme Competition puzzle? If you … Continue reading
