Hi,

My name is Jaykumar Patel and i participated in mumbai round of Times Sudoku Championship. I got through the 1st round and and was among the 88 selected for the final round. My name isn't included in the Mumbai Result list and there are 83 names listed in the list. Can someone please clarify??? I was unable to complete 6 pointer and 9 pointer classic sudoku.

I remember there were 88 finalists in the Mumbai round, but it looks like 5 of the papers were missing in the final set of papers that I received.
I do not have your paper, hence your name is missing from the list.

You can gauge your standing by comparing with other participants who got 45 points.
Also let me assure that the missing papers will have no impact on the top 4 from Mumbai.

Congratulations to the top four... and all the very best for the WSC :)
Thanks Kishore for sharing your experience in detail for the final round.. I almost felt the nerves that you had while attempting to complete the Rhombusquarediaganol Sudoku in the last round... :)
Hope to compete with the best in the near future... :)

Btw, i was one of the participant of the delhi round.

There is no plan to upload them. If it is ever uploaded online, it will be uploaded at ToI site, and not here.

As repeated several times earlier in this thread, you should check the Beginners Sudoku Contests which are a close replica of the city rounds. They are good practice materials as well.

Interesting, they put top 5 this year, last year they had put top 10.

By any chance, does anyone have the pdf of this page? In case someone downloaded it last year?
Now they do not allow downloads of this page.
