This was a good test :) would have given it 3-stars if online solving was available - I don't have a printer so for puzzles without online solving I have to write all my answers in MSPaint with my mouse, which makes it take quite a bit longer and makes it difficult to write pencil marks.

Thanks David for your help and guiding me through the solving technique.. By the way, I failed to understand the rule - it was for all the combinations of consecutive numbers along a row and column; not only for the first 3...Thanks for your explanation..

I really liked this test.Normally,I hate Math based variants in sudoku but this test was different.I remember thinking before the test that I would be happy with a score somewhere around 400.I didn't expect 470 in 90 mins(74?!).In the last 16 mins of the test,I really had a go at Thropki(100) but it seemed beyond my reach despite multiple guesses.

I greatly enjoyed solving Outside and Triangular sums both of which had a very systematic solve and I also loved the squeeze variants.

Thanks a lot to David for this wonderful test and to all test solvers. The set was delightful and I had great fun!

I have two questions on triangular sums:
1. Are we sure that we won't split any more cells? I am confused because the rule says triangles cannot touch grid boundary. These already placed ones are far enough not to touch :)
2. May the three numbers around a triangle be same?

Bskbri,

Re: Triangular Sums

All split cells will be indicated before solving.

There is no special rule prohibiting more than one edge of a triangle having the same digit.

I am unable to submit Classic-3 solution. The answer key is A - 249516837 and B - 847925316

Sorry, was typing the wrong answer I guess. The key was not allowing me to submit.

Thanks for the great set of puzzles David. The solving path was seamless in the puzzles I attempted. Personally, back to solving puzzles after a brief period of 2-3 months and it was a great experience for me attempting the puzzles. Hope to be active in the upcoming contests.
