The latest glitch I have found is the Arto Inklo Escargot puzzle. It's wrong. It has an extra given digit that doesn't belong there. This would affect solve time, your difficulty calculations, etc., etc.

Seems like I got the puzzle definition from a forum post in 2012 on the most popular Sudoku forum at the time. This included the extra 1 in H3. I don't think it seriously affects the grade or solution path since 1 in H3 solves trivially with a hidden single. But I appreciate the correction and yes embarrassing to have had the extra digit so many years. Refresh the Sudoku.htm and the corrected Escargot will load. Also, I see I did make this correction in the past but not in all places. Will try and find them all.

Hello, Could you please clarify what you recently added for UR3b? Nothing was labeled with a date.
Thanks,
Tim

Yes sure. the second example of UR3B where the text starts “Here is a triple with a slightly different pattern, also from David Hollenberg...”
And the second example of Type 5
