is there a "dark rule" on Odd Sum Pair?
What you meant by dark rule ?
I assume if what you meant is that "All Odd Sum Pair's are given" then answer is "NO". i.e. there is no converse rule.
And same is the answer for Odd Even Count, no converse rule applicable. i.e. not all circles are given. |

I found the 6x6 quite tough in Quadro and Odd-Even count.
Favourite: Odd-Sum Pair
Wasted 5 minutes to get printer working properly :(
Though I think everyone has their share of printer-horror stories.

Very nice set. For the 6x6 No Even Neighbours, I directly filled the 5 remaining cells of the answer key (3rd row ) without putting any other digit :- ) |

The main problem was the answer keys, because there were few sudokus where I filled less than half cells. It's perfect competition for the beginners, although I found the last puzzle very very uncomfortable to solve (quite hard ). So, it matches the idea about not to put too hard puzzles there, just you need to use a bit more narrow solving paths or just work more with where to putt the andwer keys. |

Thanks for your feedback. I hope you enjoyed the test overall.
Can you specify the Sudokus where you filled less than half cells ? . I hope they were all 6*6 size sudokus where this was possible. I like your idea of having bit more narrow solving paths, which will reduce this issue to some extent in such small grids. The challenge was, we are experimenting to have just 1 answer key for 6*6 size sudokus instead of 2 answer keys which we usually have. So I believe it is difficult to find just 1 row or 1 column which will be filled last in 6*6 size grids. But definitely we can improve the choice at least in some of them, for e.g. No Even Neighbor 6*6 as pointed by Rohan. Will try our best to improve upon that in upcoming tests.
Once again thanks for your suggestions. |

A fun and excellent test!The pattern of digits and the theme in almost all the sudokus were really nice. I greatly enjoyed solving No Even neighbours (12 ) which forced me to use some marking for odd/Even that I usually forget in sudokus. The Odd Even Count was exciting too .I enjoyed spotting the triplet (3-4-5 )in the middle Box.In addition,I remember doing something with the 6 which was really good too.Of the Classics, the 1-9 theme and O and E theme stood out.I never really thought about points as I completed all sudokus until the last digit was put even though the answer keys came earlier.Had my own share of problems in the form of catridge drying out and me replacing it in the middle of the test,printing the alignment page (which I was forced to do )but they never diminished my experience of the test in any way. Regards share of creation,I can almost say which were created by whom : ) No Even /Odd Even count --Swaroop/// Odd Sum Pair/Quadro --Ashish Thanks for the test!Good work. |

Country : Switzerland | Fred76 posted @ 2015-10-27 2:46 PM Thanks for the tournament !
Nice sudokus ! Appropriate level of difficulty for intermediate players I think.
It was nice to restart playing sudoku after WSC with this test.
About the answer keys and the choice of rows/columns: I didn't care that much about codes on this tournament, perhaps because since WSC I'm used to fill all cells in each sudoku I solve.
However I also noticed here and there that the choices of rows/columns for answer keys were not always optimal.
On a few 9*9 sudokus, the 2 rows/columns choosen covered only 3 regions (for example on 9*9 No Even Neighbours). While it can be a good choice for some sudokus, you have to be sure that these 3 regions are really the end of solving path of this sudoku. It's always a risky choice. On the 9*9 No even neighbours I found that it was not optimal. |

D stands for disqualified.It usually happens when the organizer (s )or the administrator is fairly certain that the contestant has used 'unfair' means to reach the score that he/she eventually did. |

We have automated means to detect suspicious timings, and so we have disqualified you. If you want to pursue this, you may contact us on logicmastersadmin@gmail.com, but remember that you will come under scrutiny at the offline finals to see if you really do possess this level of speed, and if not, we may ban you from competing in future contests.

You seem to be more concerned with the reason given for your dis-qualification rather than for the fact that if there were any truth behind it.
Understand that it is never in the interest of the organizers to intentionally disqualify or discourage anyone.The people that you seem to accuse (the ones who have taken lesser time than yours )have all been representing their national teams in World sudoku championships and/or regularly featuring in LMI tests.Their performances both offline and online are consistent (Just click on their names and you can see their Rank score,Prorated score etc., over a period of time ).Also remember that if someone solves unfairly and reaches the top 50,not only does it not seem right but it also robs a spot for a person who has been solving fairly and deserves a place in the finals.
Despite all this,if you still think that there has been a 'grave error' committed when it came to judging you ,you are free to take up the issue at the email-id provided.But also keep in mind the caveat that has been given.

remember that you will come under scrutiny at the offline finals to see if you really do possess this level of speed, and if not, we may ban you from competing in future contests.
