Am I correct in thinking that “True or lie” is simply a less well presented (in my opinion) version of pencilmark sudoku?

Well.You are entitled to think whatever you want to.But yes.True or lie is not very different from a pencilmark sudoku.

The test was overall fine. I thought the True or Lie formatting was bad, though, because the given clues overlapped the place where a 1 pencil mark would go when solving online. I skipped the 9x9 puzzle mainly for this reason.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes. There is partial overlap but we think it does not impact solving. Perhaps we could have used a lighter font for the True or Lie clues.

Very nice set. Top quality sudokus.
Felt the difficulty is too hard for SM.

Favourite puzzles: Quadro 9x9, 2Odd2Even 9x9, True Or Lie 6x6

Thanks Ashish and Kishore!

Excellent Set of Sudokus.
Loved the 2Odd 2Even Sudoku, Although I solved it after the test.
It was a wonderful test.
Thanks LMI.
Thanks Kishore and Ashish.
Agree to Rohan, difficulty is on higher side for SM, so beginners might have some tough time.

Great quality of Sudokus, really enjoyed the variants. But had a bad day and broke a lot of them, even some 6*6 ones. Thanks for the great Sudokus Ashish and Kishore!

Extremely tough for a beginner. Added to it, my network conn was really bad. So personally pathetic performance again. Infact its getting worse with each round. But I guess this is required at this level of competition. So Great job done Ashish and Kishore.

After a bad performance in the 1st round I had targeted to perform well in this round. But couldn't perform as well. I lost a lot of time in the classics and the 9*9 2 Odd 2 Even. At the end I couldn't solve the 2 Odd 2 Even.
Overall a good set of sudokus. I specially liked the Coded Sudokus.
Thanks Kumars for the sudokus :p

great set of sudokus. thankfuly i had no mistakes in this round. in my opinion i found true or lie and coded sudoku easy, finshed 9x9 for both of them in 10 mins combined. had already decided to go for the hghest pointer 2 odd 2 even first and thankfully it worked for me. i felt that quadro should've been given more points compared to true or lie and coded sudoku.

overall i am glad that i finished the whole set within time

Nice test but rather difficult. Even the Classics were hard.
I basically give up an hour fumbling hopelessly so it was a surprise to see other people found it just as hard.
I thought Coded 2 was too guess-y and the 2O2E was beautifully made.

Thanks for this amazing set. I really enjoyed quadro and coded during the contest, and 2 odd 2 even offline.
