  If you email me be sure to use 'Platinum Sudoku' in the subject.
  This is my eleventh (or so) FAQ. Most of them can be found at:
    GameFAQs, IGN, SuperCheats, NeoSeeker, GamesRadar or CheatPlanet.

Term Definitions
    Grid   The container that holds the cells
    Cell   Single square were only one number may be entered
    Cube   A 3x3 group of cells
  Column   Vertical line containing 9 cells
     Row   Horizontal line containing 9 cells
  Puzzle   A Grid with numbers on it arranged in a precise way

Timer
  On all Sudoku and Kakuro puzzles, the timer counts up. You have
  an infinite amount of time (or likely about 99 minutes) to solve each.
  When selecting one of the puzzles, it will display your best time
  and the day you last played the puzzle. Your best time will also be
  displayed while playing a puzzle. The first time you play a puzzle,
  the best time will be set to an average of how long it should take you
  to complete the puzzle.

Saving A Game
  While playing a Sudoku or Kakuro puzzle, press Start and choose
  'Back to menu' and your progress will be saved. You can only
  save one puzzle. If you begin another puzzle, it will ask you
  if you want to clear the saved progress. To return to the last
  game you were playing, tap 'Continue Game' on the Main Menu.

Actual Puzzle Count
  Sudoku: 20,000,483 total puzzles
          The game lists 105 puzzles for each of the 5 difficulties of
          Sudoku, but Easy and Medium each replace 9 puzzles with rewards
          while Hard, Pro, and Sudoku X each replace 8 puzzles with rewards.
          This brings the total to 483 puzzles in these 5 difficulties.
          Not the easily assumable 525. When you complete each difficulty
          level (except Sudoku X) you are rewarded with 5 Million puzzles
          in that difficulty range.
  Kakuro: 315 total puzzles
          The game lists 105 puzzles for each of the 3 difficulties of
          Kakuro, and there are no rewards.
  Elsewhere in this document, I will refer to the counts as
  they do in the game by including the rewards as puzzles.

Tips for Entering Numbers
  The in-cell writing system is great and I rarely use the buttons to
  enter numbers. Even when I'm at the bottom of the screen and have
  to cramp my numbers or partially write them - it can still interpret
  my scratches very reliably. However, if you're having any problems
  entering numbers I've found these entry methods to be reliable:

     1 - Single vertical line. Can be as short as a sideways dash (-).
         Don't put a tip on it or the game may think it's a seven.

     2 - Looping the bottom can cause problems. Draw the letter Z, or make
         a backwards 5 like the 2 you would see on a digital clock.

     3 - Sideways letter M (upper or lowercase / curved or sharp).

     4 - Draw the uppercase letter L, then bisect the lower horizontal line
         with a vertical line twice the length of the vertical line of the L.
         Strangely enough, a backwards letter Z will result as a four.

     5 - Both the letter S and a digital clock 5 work fine.

     6 - A clockwise spiral starting from the center.

     7 - It can sometimes be confused for a one. Put a horizontal line
         through the middle of it and it works every time.

     8 - Draw a circle and cut it half with a horizontal line, or make
         the standard circle/square sitting on top of another circle/square,
         or a sideways infinity symbol.

     9 - If you don't close the top circle, it can sometimes be interpreted
         as a seven or a four. Drawing the lowercase letter g always works.

 What Is Kakuro?
   If you've played Picross DS, then you know what this is. Except that it
   doesn't draw images. You're given an odd shaped grid, and told what sums
   each row and column must add up to be. Then you fill in the numbers. In
   this version you can click the sums to see a list of all possible number
   combinations that could add up to be the sum, and each number that is
   currently in that row or column is highlighted in that list. The
   difficulty doesn't get much harder in Hard. The simplest trick is to
   solve the sums in ascending order working around the outside of the
   puzzle to the center. You'll see so many 3's and 4's that can only share
   a 1, you may become weary of it.

 Hints
   Hint Credits: 40
   > Tap the light bulb icon to open the Hint menu.
   Hint A: 2 credits: Fills in all possible numbers into the current cell.
   Hint B: 4 credits: Solves the easiest cell.
   Hint C: 10 credits: Scans the grid and marks incorrect cells in red.
 Options Available
   > Easiest Cell, Cursor Follows
   > Autopossibles

 Use the Options 'Easiest Cell' and 'Cursor Follows'. Enter a number into
 the flashing cell. A different cell will begin to blink, and if the new
 cell is also selected (has a border), then you've entered the previous cell
 correctly. If the cell you've just entered is still selected and another
 cell is blinking, then try entering another number. The selection (border)
 only changes when you've entered a correct number. These options are not
 available in Hard, Pro, or Sudoku X difficulty.

 To obtain the unlockables, you must complete all prior puzzles.

 Hints
   Hint Credits: 20
   > Tap the light bulb icon to open the Hint menu.
   Hint A: 2 credits: Fills in all possible numbers into the current cell.
   Hint B: 4 credits: Solves the easiest cell.
   Hint C: 10 credits: Scans the grid and marks incorrect cells in red.
 Options Available
   > Easiest Cell, Cursor Follows

 Use the Options 'Easiest Cell' and 'Cursor Follows'. Enter a number into
 the flashing cell. A different cell will begin to blink, and if the new
 cell is also selected (has a border), then you've entered the previous cell
 correctly. If the cell you've just entered is still selected and another
 cell is blinking, then try entering another number. The selection (border)
 only changes when you've entered a correct number. These options are not
 available in Hard, Pro, or Sudoku X difficulty.

 Lesson 1: Pointing
   Unlock by completing the first 88 Easy puzzles.
   > The following puzzle is shown:
       6 5 _ |4|9|7| _|_|3
       _ 3 _ |1|_|6| 4|_|_
       4 _ 1 |8|_|3| 6|_|_
               | |    | |
       1 4 _  _|_|9  3|5|8
       9 _ _  3|8|5  _|_|4
       3 8 5  _|4|1  _|6|_
               | |    | |
       _ _ 3  _|_|8  5|4|_
       5 _ 4  9|_|2  8|3|_
       8 _ _  5|3|4  _|_|7
   > Attention is focused on the top center cube, and it's pointed out that
     the only possibilities are 2 and 5. Specifically, the 2's.
   > Then your guide tells you that because of that, you can't have any 2's
     in the center cube's top center position. That's left of the 9 in:
       _|_|9
       3|8|5
       _|4|1
   > The guide highlights the second column from the right, and the top right
     cube, asking you to remove the invalid values from that column. Remove
     the 7 from the center cell of the center right cube.
   > The guide highlights the 4th row down and the center cube:
       1 4 _  _|_|9  3|5|8
     You remove the 6 in the 3rd cell from the left (beside the 4).
   > You're given another puzzle to solve:
       1 2 3  6 8 7  9 5 4
       6 7 4  9 3 5  1 2 8
       8 9 5  4 1 2  3 6 7

       9 3 6  1 4 8  5 7 2
       2 5 1  7 6 9  8 4 3
       4 8 7  2 5 3  6 9 1

       7 4 8  3 9 6  2 1 5
       5 1 9  8 2 4  7 3 6
       3 6 2  5 7 1  4 8 9
______________________________________________________________
 Lesson 2: Naked Pairs
   Unlock by completing the first 37 Medium puzzles.
   > The following puzzle is shown:
       _|4|_  _ 1 _  3 _ 5
       _|_|7  4 _ _  _|_|_
       _|6|_  7 _ _  4|_|1
        | |
       7|_|2  _ _ _  _ 8 _
       8|_|_  _ _ _  9 _ 4
       _|3|9  _ _ _  _ _ _
        | |
       _|_|_  6 7 _  _ _ _
       _|_|_  _ _ 1  _ _ _
       _|_|_  _ _ 2  8 6 _
   > In the top right cube, there can only be a 2 or 9 in the center cell
     and the cell on the bottom row:
       3 _ 5
       _|_|_
       4|_|1
   > Guide says, "The number of possible values is equal to that of the
     cells, so we'll have these numbers in these two cells (in any order)."
     What that means is that you can remove the 2's and 9's as being
     possible in the remaining three empty cells in this cube.
   > Now you look at the second column from the left and are asked to remove
     seven possible values. You'll notice that there has to be a 1 and a 5
     in the center cube.
       _|4|_
       _|_|7 <- remove the 1 and 5
       _|6|_

       7|_|2 <- center cell has to be 1 or 5
       8|_|_ <- center cell has to be 1 or 5
       _|3|9

       _|_|_  <- remove the 1 and 5 from the center cell
       _|_|_  <- remove 5 from the center cell
       _|_|_  <- remove the 1 and 5 from the center cell
   > Next we reference the bottom row and remove three numbers:
       _|_|_  6 7 _  _ _ _
       _|_|_  _ _ 1  _ _ _
       _|_|_  _ _ 2  8 6 _
         ^               ^
         |               |
     These two cells must be 7 or 9, so remove the 9's from the
     first, fourth, and fifth cells from the left.
   > And you're given another puzzle to solve:
       3 7 8  9 5 6  2 1 4
       5 6 4  8 1 2  3 7 9
       9 1 2  3 7 4  5 8 6

       4 9 7  2 8 1  6 3 5

==============================================================================

 Challenges are mini-games. You will be given an option to play one,
 entirely at random, before beginning a Sudoku or Kuroko puzzle, and you
 can unlock them to be played at your own leisure, by completing a certain
 amount of Sudoku puzzles.

 Don't close the lid or turn off the DS until you've exited Challenge mode
 or your scores and averages won't be saved (unless you've just made a high
 score).

 > Subtract
   Unlock by completing the first 5 Easy Sudoku Puzzles.
     Rule 1: Drag the second highest number to the highest number.
     Rule 2: Repeat Rule 1 until complete.
   * Rule 3: Break Rule 1 if there are only same-number pairs on the grid.
      Example 1: 11178
       Drop 7 on 8 = 1 : 1111
       Drop 1 on 1 = 0 : 11
       Drop 1 on 1 = 0
      Example 2: 2334569
       Drop 6 on 9 = 3 : 233345
       Drop 4 on 5 = 1 : 12333
   *   Drop 2 on 3 = 1 : 1133
       Drop 3 on 3 = 0 : 11
       Drop 1 on 1 = 0
   *  Example 2 could have also been completed from this point as:
       Drop 2 on 3 = 1 : 1133
       Drop 1 on 3 = 2 : 123
       Drop 1 on 3 = 2 : 22
       Drop 2 on 2 = 0
      but that would take longer.

 > Pair Match
   Unlock by completing the first 29 Easy Sudoku Puzzles.
     Start by make your lines around the outside and work your way to
   the center. Be mindful to go around the numbers that can be connected
   by a direct line. Applying these rules and adding an observance for a
   tendency to solve in descending order nets me between 25-55 in a row.
   The difficulty is random and partially depends on your logic and speed.
   You have 30 seconds, so keep trying, and don't be afraid to draw over
   previous lines. Erase the board as a very last resort so you don't loose
   the time it will take you to redraw what's already there.
     Around puzzle 45-50, they'll step up in difficulty a bit. You'll find
   it better to draw the short lines in the middle and then connect the
   crazy pair that's far away. You'll definitely have to draw over lines
   you've created before and re-path them. Stay away from the clear button.
     By puzzle 70, you will have pretty much figured out all of the logic
   of the game and you'll start to see puzzles you've played before.

 > Shuffle
   Unlock by completing the first 50 Easy Sudoku Puzzles.
   This game is often played with images instead of numbers.
   You're given a grid of 9x9 positions, with only 8 squares
   filling those slots. Each are color coded and numbered 1-8. If a square
   is beside the free space, you can click the square to move it there.
   The object of the game is to line up the numbers as:
     1 2 3
     4 5 6
     7 8

 > Choice Block
   Unlock by completing the first 15 Medium Sudoku Puzzles.
   You're given a Sudoku puzzle that is complete except for one 9x9 cube,
   but you're also given three 9x9 cubes to choose from and in 30 seconds
   you have to choose which one of them completes the puzzle correctly.
   Scan the choices for similar horizontal or vertical patterns of 2 or 3
   numbers. For isntance, if you were given:
     1 5 7    1 5 7    7 6 1
     3 8 9    4 3 8    9 5 3
     2 6 4    2 6 9    2 4 8
   you would notice the two cubes with 1 5 7. Quickly exclude the third
   cube and focus on the remaining patterns in the two that are similar.
   The lowest row 2 6 4 and 2 6 9 have two numbers that are different.
   Scanning the puzzle grid on the intersecting column and row for those
   two numbers would likely show you which cube to select.
   As you progress, it becomes slightly more difficult and the patterns
   are more complex. Remember to look for vertical patterns and two digit
   pattpers. If you can average 10 seconds validating each of the three
   given solutions, you'll do well. If you make one mistake, the game is
   over and you have to start from the beginning, so I find it useful to
   wait until the last second to make a choice. The screen fades to red
   in the corners, so it's easy to know when you're about out of time.

 > High Sum
   Unlock by completing the first 29 Medium Sudoku Puzzles.
   Another 30 second Sudoku-style freezny. The grid has random numbers in
   certain 9x9 cubes and you have to select which one has the highest sum.
   As with Choice Block, wait until the last few seconds to choose one.
     An example would look like:    The sums would be:
       7 6 2  _ _ _  _ _ _
       5 3 6  _ _ _  _ _ _                 34
       1 3 1  _ _ _  _ _ _

       _ _ _  1 9 _  _ _ _
       _ _ _  8 _ 6  _ _ _                        33
       _ _ _  9 _ _  _ _ _

       1 _ 9  _ _ _  1 1 1
       4 7 8  _ _ _  1 2 4                 38            25
       3 _ 6  _ _ _  8 4 3
   So, choosing the lower left cube would be correct.
