Country : India | I find 6*6 and 8*8 sudokus taking longer time than 9*9 sudoku with similar difficulty level.
Are there any special techniques or things that we need to keep in mind while solving 6*6 and 8*8 sudokus?? |

Country : France | auroux posted @ 2015-02-11 6:16 PM Also, regarding the 9x9 Renban: usually in this variation "line" means a continuously drawn line that may intersect itself. I would have thought that the pattern in the lower middle 3x3 box consists of two distinct lines, each of which must contain consecutive digits. Is the author's interpretation different (in which case I'd like to suggest that the terminology be changed from "line" to "continuous marked group" or something like that), or is a segment missing from the diagram to turn this into a single continuous line (self-intersecting, though it could also be redrawn differenty to be non-intersecting)? |

Yes, one segment of line went missing to make it continues line of size of 5. We will make the required changes in IB and soon will upload the corrected version. |

With 8*8 I know what you mean, that happened to me too at the start. Never had that problem with 6*6 though. In the end, I think it might be that you are more accustomed to a 9*9. There aren't any special techniques as such as far as I know. My 8*8 problem's mostly gone away now with more practice. |

Country : United States | Is the sample grid on page 3 of the IB meant to be solvable? [The one that says 'This grid is for testing how the printout looks'] I only ask because in the previous IBs for Sudoku Mahabharat the corresponding samples have been solvable. However in this one the 8s in the middle column of boxes don't work. Just wondering!

You are right that in previous IBs the "all-in-one" grids were solvable, but this one is not. I didn't have enough time to make one, though I realize now that it should be easy to make one.

There is no reason to start on 21st other than we have always started on Saturdays.
But this time, Rajesh has provided all the materials much earlier, so the contest setup is complete. We will start on Friday itself.
And sorry about having different dates at different places.

Country : India | Very Nice Puzzles rajesh !!
For me it was bad performance, though i completed in time. I did lot of mistakes and got stuck in the Inequality big one (I guess that's my weak spot and need to improve upon that)
Overall Excellent Puzzles. My favourite was QuadMax and Touchy big ones.

Country : India | Nice test, Rajesh.
I had almost forgotten how to solve Touchy and was solving it as a classic for some time. Inequality(6x6 and 9x9) and Touchy(9x9) took me close to 34 minutes. Luckily I was able to complete the set in time. The grids I liked the most were Renban 9x9 and Standard 9x9 (2). |

Country : France | auroux posted @ 2015-02-20 7:24 PM Very nice -- these variants aren't my favorites at all, but it was pretty good. The 9x9 Renban was very nice -- it flowed smoothly from start to end. I found the 9x9 inequality quite painful, but I think I'm just really bad at reading the clues in this variant. (How do people keep track of all the zigzags ??) |

inequality puzzles should not be included with sudoku competitions. Entirely different approach. I understand the neighbors theme, but they just seemed out of place and required much too much time. |

Country : India | Wonderful set of puzzles. Took too much time on the bigger touchy and hence thought that the smaller touchy would also be tough. As a result didn't attempt that since I was running out of time . After the test when I solved the 6x6 touchy , I realised it was probably the easiest of all the sudokus . |

hi, i have played sudoku mahabharat on 20th feb. can't i play it on 21st feb.
It is the same contest (Neighbours ) which is open for a 96-hour period. Since you already took it on 20th, you cannot take it again. Watch out for the next Sudoku Mahabharat contest in March 2015. |

Hi Rajesh!.The sudokus were absolutely splendid and I enjoyed solving them a lot.It was thorough fun.This must probably be the first test that you have solely authored in LMI?!and what an impressive start at that!The sudokus were very logically solveable and had smooth flowing solutions. My favourites of the pack were Touchy (14 ),Inequality (12 )[I totally despise the Inequality variant of sudoku in general ,but you made me reconsider my preferences by constructing this particular one.It might have to do with the beautiful solve path..9-8-7-6...Great work!!] and the classic (10 ) which dragged me a little bit in the end.I continue to be amazed by the scope of improvement left in my classic solving style which I understood by solving the classic 10 pointer.I learnt a lot by solving this test. I look forward to solving your sudokus in the Indian round of the GP where you are one of the co-authors.Thanks a lot Rajesh.Highly impressed by your style of construction!! |

For Touchy Sudoku try to start with 1 and 9 as 1 and 9 can has to be connected with 2 and 8 respectively.

For your solution, check that all the inequality sign are followed properly. Missing even one inequality sign sometimes leads to wrong solution.

Consecutive Sudoku would be more appropriate in this case in example. But the puzzles were nice and I have absolutely no problem with solving renban - It's actually one of my favourites because of what happened in Eger 2011 :) |

Country : Thailand | tamz29 posted @ 2015-02-23 5:10 PM Let me congratulate you on a test well done. The puzzles were great.
This quibble is more of a general problem than a personal attack.
I think Inequality Sudoku with all relations given is a bad puzzle, not because your particular puzzle is bad but the idea of having all relations given
makes up for a very tedious 'puzzle'. One can either start with the 9s to 8s, 7 and so on... or from 1 to 2 to 3...and so on,
and it becomes more of a laborious work than fun.
ALL Inequality Sudoku where all relations are given works this way.
I think a lot of Thai solvers have had enough of computer-generated Inequality Sudoku in our tournaments, and due to its nature
any attempt at handmaking such puzzle goes unnoticed, the one in the test included.
My recommendation to all future authors is to not give all relations and try to be more artistic.
I can name puzzles from BIST, Tetsuya Nishio Cup and several in the Daily league - where authors present
Inequality Sudoku substantially better with given numbers, patterns and more interesting solving paths than give all relations for solvers to track down 9s and 1s.
I see the 6x6 puzzle has a few relations omitted out but the end result is still very boring to solve.
Please don't take this personal Rajesh, I'm just trying convey an opinion.
I have no problems with other puzzles, and I really enjoyed the test with Either Or Sudoku being my favourite.
Thanks!

I am trying to solve Touchy (6x6) and I am struck here.Need some hint in progressing.I am sure if I make one more cell, it will be done.
Check R1C1. You can have a 1 or 6 here. If you put 1, the neighbor cell R2C1 will be 5 or 6 and R1C2 is already 3. This violates the touchy rule. So it must be 6 here. Try proceeding from here. |
