What is the best online reference to prepare for this competition ? Thanks! Read the posts above ;) As for online reference, go here. The same 4 types will be on the test mostly. Test puzzles haven't been published, and I'm not sure they will be published. But there's enough as practice material if you're willing to look around the site (including in other months to the right on the link I gave) |

Thanks Varun and Swaroop. :) 7 people submitted all but 4 had a mistake and Tejal was, unfortunately, one of them. Only the top 3 got full value. |

Posts: 4 Country : India | r_baniya posted @ 2013-07-27 10:51 PM Good Evening Friends, I am Rajesh Baniya, stood 4th in Mumbai Rounds... I was a bit dejected for leaving cells blank in the Easiest Sudoku(TRIO) with the Minimum Marks of 5..... Anyways, that is the important part, a minute error can make a Difference, as in Su-Doku a solution has to be "COMPLETE".... |

Could someone please provide the format of the test (how many rounds, duration , types of puzzles etc)? Is there some place where the test puzzles are published ? What is the best online reference to prepare for this competition ? Thanks! After the first round of 8 6x6 classics in 15 minutes, there is a 1 hour round with 4 classics and 4 variants. Therefore practice very well with 8 sudoko of 6x6. it is hard if u dont practice very well. once u are clear with it, then they will give a call in an hour and will let u know whether u are selected for the second round or not. |

Just wanted to check if you can post blank copy of the Sudoku given in competition? Whether or not that's possible (up to ToI I'd think), if you just want to compare your general speed against the qualifiers, there's many other ways to do that, as India's top players have participated in many tests in the past here on LMI where the results and sudokus are all archived |
