Country : India | I found the trio sudoku quite difficult, got stuck once the 1-2-3 was done. I would certainly like some pointers to solve this. Also in the recently concluded ISC, I am afraid I found even a few of the 6x6 difficult. Can anyone help ? Similarly smashed sums, greater than consecutive too. |

I found the trio sudoku quite difficult, got stuck once the 1-2-3 was done. I would certainly like some pointers to solve this. Also in the recently concluded ISC, I am afraid I found even a few of the 6x6 difficult. Can anyone help ? Similarly smashed sums, greater than consecutive too.
Lets go one at a time. This Beginners' Trio Sudoku first. About the 4-5-6 - Concentrate only on elminating 4s throughout the grid, you should get a 4 in the 9th box because of eliminations throughout the grid. About the 7-8-9 - Note that 9 can only be in R2C6 or R8C6 for C6. Also, for C7 and C9, 9 can be either in R2C7,R8C9 or R3C9,R7C7. If its the former, then 9 can't be anywhere in C6.
Let me know if this helps, or if you need more help with Trio. If it helps, then I request you to ask the ISC related stuff in the ISC topic, just to not mix up everything. |

Country : India | Thank you very much, the 9-part I could quickly understand, having a slight tussle with the 4-part but will get it eventually. It is amazing how each thing unravels so smoothly. I have a number of questions on the ISC, will ask them in the right forum. Once again thanks. |

Country : India | I did well in classics this time and screwed up in variants. :(
i kept on doing mistakes on diagonal. All sudoku are awesome. Only thing i felt is inequality was hard in respect of beginners :)
but a nice test overall. :) |

Country : Canada | The inequality was indeed hard. I botched the classic pretty badly. I should have gotten the whole thing in 21 minutes, but alas, I botched the 10 point and had to erase the whole thing. |

hey is this test online or offline?? Online. You can either play using the flash interface on your computer screen OR you can solve on paper by printing the pdf. |

Country : United Kingdom | detuned posted @ 2013-12-24 5:55 PM just finished the classic part of the test. the puzzles were nice, and as always with these I used the flash interface.
However, maybe it's just me, but I found the clash in fonts (typeface, weight, size, colour - pretty much everything!) between the givens and what I was entering made the whole experience pretty painful. I had to do one puzzle twice, and another 3 times because I kept confusing digits! |

Country : India | rvarun posted @ 2013-12-26 12:06 AM Nice set of puzzles. The inequality was too good with respect to the flow of solving, even though I made mistakes twice in it. It was really seamless in my third attempt. :) |

Country : Canada | When someone is disqualified, their answer immediately shows up for me (everyone?) on the results page, instead of being hidden until after the whole contest is over. This is probably not intended. |

This was certainly not intended, but we are safe. When someone - who has not solved all 8 sudokus correctly - views the score page, he/she can see answers to the sudokus that they have submitted correctly. |

Hie
That check box for test to be considered or not appears close to start test button before starting the test. If you start the test without making any changes, that check box goes away and by default consider this test for ratings. So look out before you start the test.
Hope this helps. : ) |

Beginners Tests are never considered for ratings. |
