need help from sudoku experts

random456

parents love sudoku. theyve had loads of books but they want the hardest puzzles available as basically they can do the so called 'fiendish' puzzles in 5 mins. i ve bought them various books that say ultra hard and they arent, does anyone know of a book that does super hard puzzles with hardly any numbers in? please dont just direct me to any old books (i know the retailers i just want best titles) it has to be ones you have had yourselves that you have found near enough impossible-oh and high street please, not online, cheers

I know how they feel - have mostly given up now as no challenge. The only ones that are a bit different are Killer Sudoku (paperback with black cover, from The Times) where you also have to work out number bonds. My mother and I both enjoyed these but so far only one book. Amazon ref here http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0007223633/qid=1134937557/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_10_1/202-0389355-2877441
but have seen in lots of shops.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,18209-1933383,00.html gives you an example (they are printed in the Times and online).

Probably worth looking at this site which appears
to be a large index for fans of these puzzles.

Not sure if this will offer the challenge required but may be a good gift for sodokoists.
