![]() 9 is just the length in roman character transcription. In reality the Japanese word is made of only 4 characters. I made a correction to the following text - Kokonotsu (a 9-letter Japanese word that simply means nine). Thanks for your response.- Jorge Florêncio 19:59, 26 September 2005 (UTC) ZM Your right, sorry, i was just confused by the fact this puzzle variant couldnt have sub parts with igual form (unless sub parts are columns or rows, but that would be too easy), its true it as to be square and 7圆 never could be or it'll miss always a number in every column. As it happens, one of the two Quadrum Quandary puzzles on my LiveJournal is 7×7. ![]() Of course, the fact a Sudoku puzzle must be square should be a big hint. I guess that there is a bug in the text: where its writen 7×7 I guess its 7×6 or 6×7, can someone check that? - Jorge Florêncio 18:47, 22 September 2005 (UTC)- 195.23.244.112 18:44, 22 September 2005 (UTC) I wrote that, and I assure you it's correct as "7×7" the puzzle in question was also republished in the World Puzzle Championships book series by Random House (I forget which volume) and an issue of GAMES World of Puzzles. ![]() Ebb is apparently most noted (or at least most referenced on the web) for their Picture Word-Finds magazine. If I add Official to the list, you have pretty much the entire puzzle magazine rack at any store in that country. They may be a second-string brand name under Kappa, in much the same way Penny Press is now a second-string brand name under Dell. They are a puzzle magazine publisher in the United States, serving as competitor to Dell. You should have searched for "Ebb publishing". " What is Ebb? I've scoured the web and cannot find an explanation. One sentence was quite sufficient to describe the logic of that grid, so that's what I replaced it with. If it weren't for the fact that actual useful data were buried in it, the original edit that put those diagrams there in the first place would have been vandalism it was written in the style of a forum post - not an encyclopedia article - complete with opinions. Also, the "example" was useless: it was an unsolved puzzle, demonstrating nothing. Besides, it was taking up too much space for something so tangential. It wasn't a graphic - it was rendered in text characters. The graphic for the 'four groups' variant vanished - why? Lovingboth 29 Jun 05
