Country : Slovakia | Thank you for such a nice contest and the Mahabharat concept as well!
I really appreciate the example grid with all elements used in the PB, it really helped me :)
Just one question - I have submitted all the sudokus, but the time is still running and the scorepage is still unavaliable. Is that okay?
* No more questions :) everything is all right now...

Matus About the timer running : if you submit the last sudoku using "online" mode (not paper mode ), then the timer does not stop. I think that is what has happened in this case. Although you can view the score page and your bonus seems to be correct.
About the Example grid : I remember you had a problem while printing the Caves. Some other players also complained during that contest. So we thought about making the IB identical to PB, and adding this example grid. So, we should be thanking you for reporting the printing issues during Cave contest. |

I have the same "problem". I solved in both mode: online and paper mode, that's perhaps why the timer is still running?
It also tells me "Total Points : 64" counting only the "paper mode" submissions.

Fred Ok. So it does not work as well as I had hoped. We will have to check more before the next episode. |

Please read my comment above. The organisers will put up the reasons after the contest ends only if they feel a need for justification is required. |

About half of the answer keys could be obtained before the corresponding puzzles were solved. The 9x9 extra regions was a very nice puzzle! |

I found this test to be slightly less difficult than other recent ones, but as the target distribution was 50% easy then I would say it was right on target. I particularly liked untouch and palindrome. Thanks to Deb/LMI (as always ) for hosting, and cheers to Rishi for putting it together! Regards, Dave |

That was a fun and enjoyable test.I am thoroughly satisfied that I managed to complete all the sudokus in an LMI test (within the time limit ).My favourites were Palindrome ,Extra region and Diagonal (all 9X9 )in that order Thinking retrospectively ,I could have saved even more time if I had not been too fastidious in my approach (doing stuff like erasing the pencil marks , filling the grid punctiliously etc., ).But ,that would be something to remember in the next episode. A good beginning is half-done they say and I can add with certainity that the first episode by Rishi Puri has been a great beginning.I am already looking forward to the Irregular sequel by Rohan. So to be continued huh?!I am waiting too !!.... |
