Typically you start with the bigger distances first, as these will limit the cells for the two mentioned numbers. |

Ok, never mind, I realized that the two digits are listed in order. |

Oh, and of course that had to be, otherwise there would be 4 solutions! Boy, I feel stupid. |

Country : Slovakia | I am very curious about this contest. It contains many sudoku types that are not so common and usually are presented in very difficult way.
Hope to see some easier Distances or Descriptive Pairs - they have the last chance to gain some sympathy :) |

How to participate in sudoku Mahabharat?
Download the IB (mentioned earlier in this thread ). It contains details of the sudoku types. And you need to login between 20th and 22nd December. You can choose to solve online OR print the pdf (you get the password for the pdf once you start the test ) and solve offline. You can also visit the following links for more details:

Country : India | sena posted @ 2014-12-15 10:19 AM In the solution for descriptive pairs, particularly in the second row and fifth column, both the options are followed. That is, 2 is placed in 9th place and also 9 is placed in 2nd place for the second row options on the left. Similarly, 4 is placed in 2nd place and also 2 is placed in 4th place for the fifth column options at the bottom. Please check it. |

Yes. For Descriptive Pairs and Skyscrapers, the instructions sound more complex than they actually are. Distances and Next to 9 are, of course, lesser known variations.
Hope to see some easier Distances or Descriptive Pairs - they have the last chance to gain some sympathy :)
In general, Sudoku Mahabharat grids will be relatively easier as you would have found out already. I am hoping all variations manage to gain a lot of sympathy. Edited by rakesh_rai 2014-12-15 10:46 AM

Country : India | There was some confusion on whether the clues for Next to 6/Next to 9 indicate the numbers in order. The clues can be in any order. They just indicate that these two numbers are adjacent to 6 or 9 respectively. Modified instructions below:
Next to 6: Place a digit from 1 to 6 in each empty cell so that each digit appears exactly once in each row, column and 2x3 box. Additionally the clues outside the grid indicate the numbers to be placed in the cells before and after the cell containing 6 (in any order) in the corresponding direction.
Next to 9: Place a digit from 1 to 9 in each empty cell so that each digit appears exactly once in each row, column and 3x3 box. Additionally the clues outside the grid indicate the numbers to be placed in the cells before and after the cell containing 9 (in any order) in the corresponding direction. |
