Wait, scratch that. I saw I'd marked both of my errors as "multiple solutions", and found actual errors in both of them. Which seems like a likely mistake to make. But it seems the puzzles actually both have a unique solution and i made proper solving mistakes... Can anyone confirm that grids 1 and 11 have unique solutions? |

I can confirm that these two are correct 
Anyway, thank you for taking part.
See you in Senec! |

I liked how ones with multiple solutions had to be nearly-solved.
Finally, some use for those nearly-complete-but-broken sudoku puzzles that had to be tossed away ;)
PS: Unfortunately, I think this test is really easy to cheat using solving programs.
(I highly recommend that admins weed out cheaters) |

Nice Practice Test. Solving Sudoku upto last cell even to determine its multiple solution was nice. No solution sudokus were easily found with few clues placed. Overall very nice Sudokus. But I wish I could have more time just to complete the test and feel that moment. But looking forward to WSC round. |

I really liked the different sort of challenge in this contest. The possibility of multiple or no solutions really encourages clean, logical solving rather than intuition (or guessing ) which I enjoy. As always, I would have liked a bit more time but I've never been especially speedy... |

Country : India | rajeshk posted @ 2016-10-11 8:31 AM This LMI test was not printed properly for me. Front page was printed properly, but no digit is printed in all the Sudoku puzzles. I am wondering what could be the problem or is there anyone else who got this problem?
Some points to be noted
1. Just before test, I printed some page to test printer which were printed properly.
2. I printed from pdf file and not from browser.
3. Only digits in the Sudoku are not printed and instead lines are printed.
4. WSC IB from the same printer was printed without any problem.
5. However for WPC IB for the few rounds, the same thing happened.
Attaching the screen shot of printed pages. All the puzzle pages were printed like this. Edited by rajeshk 2016-10-11 8:33 AM
