I really enjoyed this test esp. solving Tripod and Physo Killer Sudoku. |

Country : France | I spent much time during the test on the snapshot sudoku without finding a solution.
After the end of my test, I tried to find a solution and finally I found one by rotating one of the snapshot. Perphaps I made mistakes but if snapshots could be rotated, it should have been written in the rules.
At this time, only 6 players found the solution of the snapshot sudoku ! I wonder if many other players had the same problem as me on this sudoku.

There were bit too many previously unknown puzzles for me. Also, as an moderate solver I really would like to have the points distribution available beforehand in order to try to optimize my competition. Thank you all the same! In overall, nice competition. |

The formatting of the classics was a bit confusing. The Instruction Booklet didn't mention that the constraints in Logidoku will differ in the Puzzle Booklet from the constraints in the Instruction Booklet. That's also my fault that I didn't ask about it beforehand, but I didn't expect to be able to participate in this contest so I didn't deal too much about the IB. In general I enjoyed the test, the puzzles which I have solved were very nice. |

Country : France | auroux posted @ 2013-06-24 1:28 AM I can't believe it! The LMI server is normally super-reliable, but for the last 5 minutes of my allotted time I tried frantically and desperately to submit my last 2 answers... never succeeded to reconnect to the site before the end of my time (sometime around 21:35 French time = 19:35 GMT Sunday -- did anyone else experience an outage around that time? if not perhaps the problem was on my end, though other websites were loading fine). I lost 28 points (clock and odd lab) in the process. Grrr..... Oh well, at least I didn't wait until the last minute to submit all my answers, otherwise I'd have ended up with a beautiful zero... |

Country : Germany | Nola posted @ 2013-06-24 1:34 AM Hi,
when I wanted to submit my answers suddenly the website was not reachable. After I tried to refresh it, I could not see anything anymore. Since my home network worked well, I went to logic masters Germany and submitted my answers to Yureklis by personal message (Serkan Yürekli ). Since I had only my roughly timed music, I am not sure if I was on time. (But maybe you are generous since I also lost some minutes trying to submit answers in the answer form ).
Now the site is back working, so I came here to post this message. The timer says it is over (which is correct since also my music is over  ).
Greetings, Nola
PS: I take part regularly on your site, and this never happend before. Hopefully, it was the last time, since I like beeing here.  |

Country : Germany | Nola posted @ 2013-06-24 2:18 AM Hi again, thank you very much!!! I liked the sudoku variants very much, since there were really new and nice ideas!
It was a little difficult to get an overview on the points, a table would have been nice (in the PB) or puzzles sorted by point value. Normally I am not able to solve all puzzles but choose the ones I like most, which have mean point value. (I have an idea about why it was done, but still would be thankful about the point information - and not distributed on 21 pages.) |

Country : The Netherlands | Bram28 posted @ 2013-06-24 9:25 AM Yes, I had the same problem where I had solves one with 2 minutes to spare, but it wouldn't allow me to submit in those last few minutes ... it kept saying I had unsubmitted puzzles, but clicking on submit only showed a little clock for the mouse-cursor. This was around 3:30pm Eastern Time.
Oh well, I was doing very badly anyway  |

Country : United States | I also had a submitting problem at the end, but reloading the page let me submit *just* before time expired.
I thought this was a very hard test, and making a few mistakes along the way didn't help. Some of the puzzles were really pretty though! I look forward to finding the time to solve the rest of them.
I felt sure that the logidoku led to a contradiction; I really want to figure out what was going on there! I'm very confused right now. I also somehow managed to cause myself problems in the snapshot and didn't have time to go back and try to fix. |

The Irregular Bands was very fast for me compared with the point value, but then maybe I guessed a little lucky about which band should go where. The islands also seemed a lot easier than Tripod and Psycho, and I feel like I'm pretty much of a killer specialist anyway. The A or B also felt a little overvalued ... or maybe it's just that the Tripod and Psycho were undervalued. Quite a lot of hard puzzles, but they certainly look beautiful and had some lovely steps in finding the solutions! |

While not a major complaint and put a contest together is difficult, using consistent formatting - grid size, font type/size, etc. - would be preferred. But think for the effort and the interesting puzzle types. |

All puzzles in the booklet should be in the same form (e.g. same size, same font ) Edited by An LMI player 2013-06-24 3:18 PM
