I don't think the preliminaries will have something like that at least. As I said, the Beginners' Contests are a more accurate description of round 2. |

My blog's easy category would probably be equivalent to one of the higher pointers in round 2 ![]() Either the instructions are misleading here or they've changed the format from last year. Last year, we had 8 6x6 Sudokus to finish in the 15 minutes. I know 8's a lot more than 1, but 6x6s are pretty easy so if its the same it should be pretty finishable. |

Why there is no online round. |

Also, good show by Kishore to out-score Jaipal. Congrats to the person at 2nd, not sure if its a newcomer or some member here who I'm forgetting. Either way, finishing ahead of Kishore and Jaipal is quite good. |

The first round is 6x6s (last year had 8) to be solved in 15 minutes, and the second round seems to be the same 4 classic/4 variant structure as last year, with the only difference being that instead of two rounds of 30 minutes each, it is one round of 60 minutes (hence the timings of 40 and 42 for 2nd and 3rd places). |

With such short notice, how can one living in eastern zone states like West Bengal, Bihar, Assam etc. plan their travel and stay. ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by shera90 2013-07-20 11:57 PM |

Yes of course, I think so. I'll wait for the organizers to confirm but I don't see how that helps gain any unfair advantage, since in the end you'll have to submit the booklet that's provided only. |

Here's the article in Times of India,Chennai edition.They have made a mistake though(not the first time i think :)?!).I was joint third and not the second to complete . http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?Fro...

The puzzles were too good and it was nice to be part of the city finals one more time. Congrats Kishore and Ezhilarasi, the new faces from Chennai in National Round. :-) Nice to meet Rakesh, Rishi and Jaipal and interacting with them for first time was a nice experience. All the best to the participants of the Delhi round of TSC 2013. Edited by rvarun 2013-07-21 2:41 PM |

Akash Doulani 3. Himani Shah Modi 4. Dileep Singh Congrats to the winners. Two newcomers, and one of them ended up winning the round, that's pleasantly surprising. I suppose Ritesh couldn't find the time to make it to the rounds this year? Wonder what the timings are of these 4. |
