Does the concept of innies - outies work in surplus sudoku and torroidal sudoku ?

Solutions appended to sudoku booklet

Sure...
In the surplus sudoku from this competition it works really well. The four "outies" are exactly the four doubled numbers in the four regions that are before the line of cut.

That was fun to watch! Though, I wonder how you put the 1 and 6 in Row-2 for the 6x6 Surplus right at the start?

Maybe one of the top-10 players should record one of these. And imagine if we could also have some brain-capturing technology that shows visualizations of what goes on in their brains :-)
I hope technology progresses really fast ;-)

I don't remember what was my thinking ,I now see that the 6 in the first area can only be in r1c1 or r2c1, then 6 is in r6c3 and in r4c6, then 6 can not stay in r2c6 then is in r2c1.
But I saw that I was quick to put it but do not put the other easy 6 in r6c3 and r4c6 then i think it was a lucky mistake because it was my absolute first sudoku surplus...

I loved solving the Chain Sudoku. It was exquisitely designed. Kudos to Deb, looking forward to an exciting Odd-Even round authored by Deb.

I liked the design of all big pointers, kudos to Rohan ! Nice round !! I like Jigsaws, it sounds synonymous with Jurassic somehow.
