HI HOW TO TAKE THE TEST? WHERE ARE THE QUESTIONS / SUDOKOS? THE BOOKLET ALSO ASKING FOR SOME PASSWORD. WITHOUT THE PROBLEM..HOW TO SOLVE IT?
In the same page you will have a button Start Sudoku Surprise. If you click the button, you will get the password. Please use the password to open the booklet, which will have the sudokus to solve. You can take a print and solve it and submit the answers within the time specified i.e. 150 minutes. |

Country : India | The score page is final now. Password removed from sudoku booklet.
Thanks David for an interesting set of sudokus. Some of them were little on the tougher side, but it was probably expected given that only 14 sudokus were to be solved in 150 minutes. I personally like the concept of Disparity Sudoku the most.
Regarding puzzle-y nature of the some of the Sudokus - I agree with Fred that not all of these are "strict" sudokus. But we have been conducting the Mahabharat series which has all the classic-y stuff. When David proposed this set, I thought it will be nice deviation from that.
Kota's timing is really impressive, almost unbelievable, considering that he is 14 minutes faster than the next best EKBM, who in turn is 12 minutes faster than TiiT and misko.

Country : United Kingdom | The monster is now asleep. My sincere thanks to Deb for hosting the contest and guiding me through the process. I am indebted to Tom Collyer, Yuhei Kusui and Robert Vollmert for being prepared to bravely go into the test-solving unknown and for their valuable feedback. Thank you to the LMI solving community for giving this a go, despite the length of time which had to be set aside and the hybrid nature of some of the Sudokus. And hearty congratulations to the 5 intrepid warriors who made it to the finishing line. I think we can allow 5 places on the podium just this once.
Thank you,
David McNeill. |
