1. If I understand it right, the A1 questions will be different versions of the ones given in the Instructions booklet, but A2 will be unknown types?

2. Will the Skyscraper Sudoku be a 9x9 or something smaller?

There are annual Championships for Puzzles and Sudoku separately. This year, the Sudoku Championship hasn't been announced yet, but that shouldn't stop you from participating in the Puzzle Championship :)

No. 6 Remains 6 and 9 remains 9. Only the pieces are rotated, the number (digits) do not change.

Thanks @macherlakumar and @swaroop

In K1, why cant there be tents in cells (0,2) and (2,2) instead of (0,3) and (2,3) respectively .

Also, in K1, two trees can share a tent....right ?

In K1, why cant there be tents in cells (0,2) and (2,2) instead of (0,3) and (2,3) respectively .

Can you clarify which cells you are referring. Please start numbering your rows and columns from 1. That means first left most and top most cell is (1,1).
Still i am considering you started numbering as (0,0) to first cell. so answering your query,
(0,2) and (2,2) cannot be tents as the (0,1) and (2,1) trees already have one tent each at (0,0) and (2,0) respectively. And according to rules, you can have only one tent belonging to one tree. Hope that clarifies your doubt.

Thanks, i wrongly assumed a tent can be diagonal to a tree and so was the confusion.
