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

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.

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...

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.

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.)

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

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)
