Hi sudokufriends,

You are warmly invited to participate in "L'alphabet du NO", a sudoku test organized by french champion Sylvain Caudmont aka sisi59 and hosted by ffsudoku.com.

The test will be open during 3 full days, from friday 4 to sunday 6 march and will last 2 hours / 120 minutes. All booklets will be available in english version so that you won't need to learn french during the coming two weeks.

For more informations, you can have a look at this page : http://ffsudoku.com/coupe_des_4_saisons_2011_hiver_en.html.
Also, a forum has just been created. If you have some questions, don't hesitate to ask.

The test is also part of the 4 Seasons Cup, a new formula which we are experiencing. More informations about it will come in a few days.

Here is a link to the instruction booklet (english version).

Hi Neeraj,

Your answers were submitted correctly but unfortunately they both contained errors. But congrats for being one of ten people who have solved No Divisor Sudoku correctly !
Hope to see you on the Spring test.

I think you should reserve the last 45 minutes for easy puzzles. And, start the test with medium to tough ones instead. Probably this will get you more points in the last 45 minutes and, hopefully, quite a few in the initial period too.

Sounds like a good strategy to me!
Start with an easy puzzle to warm up
Then move to medium-tough puzzles as Rakesh suggested
then come back to easy ones in last 45 minutes as Rakesh suggested.
