Do you know if a pandiagonal Sudoku has already been published? I have a 25x25 example, the smallest possible size for this problem, but perhaps the same work has already been done. "Pandiagonal Sudoku" means that all the diagonals and broken diagonals of the square should also contains all the numbers, as it is for rows, columns, and sub-squares. It is proved that a pandiagonal Latin square cannot exist for 2k and 3k orders, meaning that a pandiagonal Sudoku of standard size (9x9) is impossible. I know published 25x25 pandiagonal Latin squares, but they are not Sudokus, because they are not organized in 5x5 sub-squares. Christian.
