Posts: 668 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : India | swaroop2011 posted @ 2014-07-14 8:27 AM Nice Test. And definitely giving test in evening was bad idea but no option was there ;). After 70 min there were few disturbances and some how managed to solve one more in last 30 min and did mistake in two which i couldnt recover. Considering that and other's scores i think it was ok performance. I felt 120 min should have been ideal for this test. The puzzles were very nice, after solving one or two i felt they were tricky than hard. So needed more time to figure out in each. Among all i solved, killer, quad sum and consecutive were best. Ofcourse consecutive i got logic but did some mistake and couldn't solve it back in time. Anyways Enjoyable test, have to solve all remaining later :) | ||||||||||||||||||

I never thought that a 7x7 test could be this tough!All the sudokus that I solved during the test had a lovely and narrow solving path.Great set of practice puzzles too which served as an antecedent to this set. Thanks Richard for a great set of sudokus!You continue to keep producing tests which are unique and high in fun quotient. : ) | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 668 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : India | swaroop2011 posted @ 2014-07-14 8:50 PM As this issue was addressed earlier, but again Online Interface is not available for this test. So you need to print out and solve or in paint or anywhere else where you are comfortable with. Good luck :). | ||||||||||||||||||

Can we get the password or unlock the PDF if we want to work on it offline? Thanks. The test is running till the end of today if you still want to participate. After that the password will be removed so you can solve in your own pace without the competition pressure. | ||||||||||||||||||

Thanks Richard, that was fun. I had the most trouble with the Arrow, Consecutive Circles and Fortress, but I'm glad to be able to squeeze out all 20 in the last few seconds. I had a small issue with the diagonal Sudoku that it didn't print the dotted diagonal lines. It didn't really cause an issue as I checked the rules and added them myself. I don't know if anyone else had this issue. | ||||||||||||||||||

For my first test (and really my first proper experience with Sudoku as a whole) I obviously found this pretty challenging, but I really enjoyed the time I spent on it, and found the solving process was rather quick once I figured it out. Thanks for a great test! | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 191 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : The Netherlands | Richard posted @ 2014-07-15 12:00 PM 7x7 is now over. Congratulations to deu, TiiT and Nikola for the top positions. My guess was that the fastest player would need around 90 minutes or a bit less, so for that reason I set the duration at 100 minutes. I was already positive surprised when TiiT solved the whole set in 82 minutes on saturday but when I noticed deu's total time of 71 minutes early sunday morning, I almost fell of my chair. Really an incredible performance! Very, very well done!!! Players have given some feedback in the last days and I will respond to that in detail tomorrow. I will also write some notes to some puzzles as well as hints for some of the puzzles to get started. But that will be also tomorrow; I don't have enough time for that today. For now I thank all participants for taking part and LMI for giving me again the opportunity to write and present a sudoku test! Richard | ||||||||||||||||||
