Country : India | rajeshk posted @ 2015-03-22 6:39 PM Nice puzzles Swaroop. I liked the mini Average Sudoku the most and this the Sudoku which took maximum time for me to solve. At the beginning, I was not getting any opening in this Sudoku and then once I found out the 6 cannot be on line then it went through and ending of this puzzle was interesting. It again took me time to use converse rule and put 1 and 3 at end.
Great puzzles and great job Swaroop, looking forward for more such tests from your side.

Country : India | Thank you all for all comments so far, I am glad and happy that you all enjoyed the test.
@ghirsch -- Yes average sudoku is not so commonly used but is a nice variant for Converse type.
@rajesh -- Thanks, I suppose if you would have the read the tips and tricks i have shared; you wouldn't have spent time on thinking for it. I also look forward to create more tests in future. :) |

That was a fitting finale to the series of Sudoku Mahabharat episodes.All the sudokus were neatly crafted and had lovely logical solve paths.I got broken in the Anti-Knight (11 ) which slowed down my solve considerably towards the end.I enjoyed solving the Consecutive (13 )and the Sudoku XV (10 )the most.These stand out as my favourites from the whole lot. The password for the test couldn't have been more apt and the test just couldn't have been any better .I am satisfied with my show through all the episodes .I am a little disappointed that there wouldn't be any more episodes to look forward to from such a great crop of Indian authors and utterly dejected even more for a different reason.............. Thanks to all the Indian authors and to Swaroop for concluding this SM series in a great way!After seeing so many new names in the Indian contestants contingent,I am sure the main prerogative of this whole SM Idea which is to attract more new Indians into sudoku and to give a chance for the lesser known solvers to compete in an offline final modelled similar to a WSC has certainly been achieved . |

First time I tried solving all the puzzles online and, I am quite satisfied. Overall a great effort by Swaroop to end the SM series with nice set of puzzles with nice solving path. Thanks a lot swaroop. I would also like to thank, the SM series idea originators, all the authors and all the participants for making this series successful. This has given us the wonderful platform to perform, which otherwise was not quite there for years. Wish all the participants all the best to make it for finals and for the finals. |
