Samurai Sudoku Solver
Have you heard of the Samurai Sudoku?
Think of it as five Sudoku puzzles, arranged with one in the center and the other four at each corner, with the corner 3x3 blocks overlapping.
Check out this Samurai Sudoku solver (available to UK residents only due to the fact that you need to register for a £1 code using your mobile phone).
I am still trying to track down some puzzles for you. I will update this post when I do.

Hey, that's great. Thanks for posting these puzzles.
check out this one

that someone posted on the
forums.!
Wow, thanks for this.
It is so big it doesn't even fit on my 1400 x 1050 resolution screen!
For the record - it is 6 9x9 Sudoku puzzles across the top, and 4 down the side, each joined by more overlapping Sudoku puzzles. That is 39 overlapping Sudoku puzzles in all, or 291 3x3 blocks, or 2,619 individual cells!
If anyone has attempted it, please post your name here and let us all know how far you got. If you complete it, then WOW!!! You will definitely get a mention on the main page of The Sudoku Experience!
Thanks for linking to us at top-notch! If you're still looking for more examples of "samurai" or gattai five type puzzles, I've put some on the site. There'll be a new free one each week; registered users get three additional gattai fives as well as access to the solvers. I've also put up something which, as far as I'm aware, is a unique sudoku variant which we've called "wordokus". These use letters instead of numbers and have a hidden word in the grid - they're an attempt to add some crossword-style thinking to the logical sudoku-solving methods (plus being letters makes it slightly awkward for people to cheat by using a solver program :) ). We'll be posting one free wordoku each week; registered users get access to an additional four.
