I had a wonderful time in ISC this year. It was great to be back and participate and meet everyone. Kudos to Prasanna for organizing, all the volunteers for keeping the event running smoothly and the authors for their challenging and fun sudokus. I loved the puzzles that I could and could not solve.

Round 1: Classic #5 and Overlapping Sudoku by Jun Liu. The solve paths were challenging and I gave a special mention for the puzzles because of this.
Round 2: Trio Sudoku and Average Sudoku by Jun Liu, Sudokurve by Prasanna, Arrow Parity Switch by Bill Murphy, and the Quad Max by clover were full of nice solve paths and good logic.
Round 3: The Diagonal Sudoku by Jun Liu and the Product Sudoku by clover were good. I enjoyed the diagonal pairs that were found and the interesting products that had to be considered.
Round 4: I attempted the second set by Jun Liu and enjoyed it a lot. I couldn't fully finish the Wheel and Nonconsecutive pair but I loved matching the pairs.

Thanks to everyone who made the event memorable.
