After a long time I was a competitor on the sudoku test that Deb organize and I really enjoyed... Congratulations to Prasanna for excellent performance and good luck to Indians in Beijing. You had spent so much time on Times Sudoku that I really didn't want to ask you to pre-test this one. Thank you so much for being there all the time. I take this opportunity to thank the authors for providing some wonderful Sudokus. Classic Sudokus, Sudo-Kurve, Thermo Sudoku, Arrow Sudoku - Thomas Snyder Pinocchio Sudoku, Diagonal Sudoku, Killer Sudoku, Renban Sudoku - Bastien Vial-Jaime Smashed Sums Sudoku, Vudoku - Serkan Yurekli I am indebted to the test solvers - Bram, Gotroch, Matus, Nikola - who gave very significant input and feedback in a really short amount of time. Thank you everyone for your kind help. | ||||||||||||||||||

![]() Posts: 337 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : Switzerland | Fred76 posted @ 2013-08-15 4:39 AM Thanks for having organized a beautiful test. Having sudokus from different authors permitted to vary the difficulty and styles. I think I recognized some authors' style while solving a few puzzles (especially kurve, renban, vudoku) but it should have been difficult to "authenticate" authors for all puzzles (I was surprised that the killer was written by Bastien, for example). This test was a bit particular for me, because my grandmother died sunday, so I was not looking to make a good result, only tried to think of anything else. Puzzles created by Thomas were really easy for confirmed players. Kurve, thermo and arrow were very nice for beginners or less experienced players, (as there are many for a national championship), and a good sprint for others. (I created a lot of classic sudokus last month, so I could not help noticing the lack of symmetry of the second classic, with 2 digits added on the bottom left. I think it was possible to make a symmetric one with that pattern, without adding the 2 digits, but it's really a tiny detail). I even didn't notice the theme of the 6*6 irregulars while solving. ![]() Diagonal was a nice construction, with only 18 symetric givens without clue on diagonals and a nice pattern ![]() I was stuck for a while in outside sudoku, but that's quite normal as it is worth 115 points. Like Prasanna, I was stuck in the even killer, but after having spotted the 5 odds in the 1rst column ![]() Congrats to Prasanna, Rohan and Rishi, Jan and the "pack of hungry Japanese players" and thanks again to the organizers !

I think it was possible to make a symmetric one with that pattern, without adding the 2 digits, but it's really a tiny detail). Fred The second classic has diagonal reflective symmetry which is one I certainly count (others may only like spinning their puzzles in place). I was indeed going for a clover leaf with an all even middle and an all odd outside but there are no possible puzzles of this form without another even digit somewhere. Making a stem for the clover was my compromise, along one diagonal axis, as that then kept the very naked single start I had set-up fully preserved. Edited by motris 2013-08-16 12:24 AM |
