mstang Posts: 74 Country : United States	mstang posted @ 2016-09-20 10:04 AM Except in places where it says otherwise (like "1 to 4 in the example") can we assume that the grid in the IB has the same dimensions as the one in the PB?

It is possible. Larger version of "Draw Sudoku" I proposed in September 2010. I'll send the file to Deb so he posted on the forum.

auroux Posts: 145 Country : France	auroux posted @ 2016-09-23 7:58 PM Really nice, but I'm still not sure whether the right strategy was to go for the big puzzles or for the small ones. For many of us it's either-or...

purzelbaumfan Posts: 13 Country : Germany	purzelbaumfan posted @ 2016-09-24 3:41 PM Thanks, it was quite entertaining to solve such different variations than usual! I especially enjoyed the Related Sudokus, they had very nice individual sovling paths.

tamz29 Posts: 225 Country : Thailand	tamz29 posted @ 2016-09-26 5:05 PM Submitted my 8th answer with 1 second left! Thanks for the test, Riad. Nice sprint test for a change :) I thought the Mechanical Killers was a bit overvalued (or maybe I was lucky)

chaotic_iak Posts: 241 Country : Indonesia	chaotic_iak posted @ 2016-09-27 10:29 AM Likewise, I think Mechanical Killer was overvalued, but that might be because I'm better in the puzzly aspect than the Sudoku aspect and the test is valued according to testsolvers that do Sudoku more often than other puzzles?

rob Posts: 170 Country : Germany	rob posted @ 2016-09-30 9:52 PM Thanks for the contest Riad, I really enjoyed it. That it's my best Sudoku result probably plays a role here, but I felt the puzzles were an unusual and interesting take on Sudokus. Like some others, I think I got a bit lucky on the Killer.
