| Sudoku Mania posted @ 2014-10-13 11:18 AM It has been a long time and with the second leg of Sudoku Mahabharat coming up, thought will create and post a Chain Sudoku. This will help you guys in preparing for the second episode. Fill the grid such that every row, column and chain of connected circles has the digits 1 to 9 without any repetition. This is of Medium Difficulty.

Country : India | No. Flash is not supported on Ipad.
As such the flash interface here is not (at all) optimized for touch solving. |

One thing is that Scattered 6x6 felt really hard to me (took lots and lots of time, almost comparable to Scattered or Chain 9x9 ), but other than that this contest was great, especially the idea of Surplus. |

Country : Singapore | meowme posted @ 2014-10-18 3:58 PM Ouch. After not doing sudokus for a few months, I broke the surplus 6x6 and 9x9, chain 9x9, two standard 9x9s and the standard 8x8. The solves were all good, but the toroidal was particularly amusing :) At least I quickly could tell that I didn't break it... |

In the discussion page, I'm shown as logged in, but when I go to the sudoku page, I cannot find either the login credentials or the password for the competition. Please help!

R1C6 and R2C4 are in the same region and you have two 5s. So there's one mistake. I just solved the puzzle fine. |

Thanks Prasanna, mistake was from my side, I could not proceed logically after putting some number for this Sudoku. Making a guess lead me to different solution and I did not realize that same numbers fall on same regions.
