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.

Deb has invited me to make some comments on the contest. I think it is appropriate to thank Deb for being so willing to host this and the variety of other competitions that LMI encourages. I'd also like to thank my test solvers - Tom Collyer, Robert Vollmert and Yuhei Kusui. They helped me to improve the classic puzzles and keep the difficulty of some of the later puzzles in check.

Thank you to the LMI puzzle community for turning up (especially after my last contest proved so long and difficult). There were difficult puzzles in this set as well but I was delighted to see so many different puzzles receive your accolades for favourite puzzle. Hopefully, not just the best of a bad bunch! My personal favourite was the second Thropki, so I couldn't resist including two of those. I was surprised to find that the Outside Sums was so popular. I know that it didn't require too many pencil marks, so maybe that was the reason.

Congratulations to the intrepid 10 who finished the lot and particularly Hideaki, Tiit and Kota for making the podium places.

Now I can get back to solving for a while.
