Rohan cracked in 27 minutes
Prasanna was close in 30+ ( not sure)

I wasn't so close actually, they say 37 minutes, but I don't mind, I spent a whole lot of time checking number by number, and actually found a little mistake, so just relieved I qualified, after last year's experience.

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.

Congratulations Rohan, Manuj and Rajesh. Glad to see a few 'R's in the reckoning.

Prasanna: Congratulations for clearing the tougher part.

Congrats to all the winners to Mumbai round.
Sad to see Swaroop missing it again. I am sure that Swaroop will bounce back very strongly next year.

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"....

Heartiest Congrats to all the winners to Mumbai round and nice to see Rajesh Baniya back in the fray. I am really missing the event this year, Maybe I will be back next year. All the best to participants at Bangalore.

All the best to the Bangalore participants.. :-)

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.

Is it possible to get which SUDOKU puzzle was given in competition @ bby? I was just eager to check my timings :)

Just read article in today's Times Of India. Many congratulations. 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

Top 4 from Bangalore -
1. Harmeet Singh.
2. Varun Shetty.
3. Deepika M.
4. Rajesh Kumar.

Congrats to the winners! The 16 is complete.

Congrats to the bangalore round winners.. All the best to the 16 qualifiers for the national finals.. :-)

Congrats to the Banglore sQUAD.....
All the Best to Swift Sixteen......for the Finalsssss

When will the instruction booklet be out?

All d best to the final 16

Congratulations to the top 4 in Bangalore.

All the best to all of you for the final 4 positions... :)

Congratulations to all the top 16..!
perform well in National Finals..!
do well in China..!

one request/Suggestion to organizers, If it's possible please also include Variants Sudoku in Prelims next time,

My point is ,say consider person A is aware of Variant Sudokus along with the classic ones , and can solve both of them pretty good...lets assume Person B is good at only classic Sudoku, and
knows how to solve them fast,,! but what if Person B gets through prelims and Person A does some minor mistake in a hurry and could not get through..!
Person B after getting through prelims, and can only solve Classic ones ???? and what about the adaptability to variants ?
in that case Person A has lost a Valuable chance .And i am not taking about any person in general..and just a thought..!no harsh feelings..!

///Congrats to all the winners...
