Mobile is not supported. We don't expect players to solve Sudokus on mobile.

there is an option of printing the sudokus and solving on paper as wel for ISC..in that case, how do we submit that? do we hve to solve on a paper and then mark the answers online and then submit?

Hi. There are two methods where you can solve and submit the answers in ISC.

1. You can print the question booklet, solve it and submit the marked rows and columns answers in the text box provided.

2. You can use the Online Flash interface where you can solve the sudoku without any need of printer.

If you see the above post by user doku, you will have the illustration of both the methods. The first one is the Flash interface and the second one is the text box format where you can solve and submit the marked row/column combination.

Still no one answered my query about demo submission

There were indeed some errors. Can you try again?

For deficit surplus it's not clear what the rules are for areas with exactly 8 cells. Must the digits 1 - 8 appear or can we not operate under that assumption? In other words, are repeat digits in 8 cell areas forbidden? Thanks.

Right, there is an ambiguity.
The rule should be "In regions with less than or equal to 8 cells, digits should not repeat"

Posted a Filler Sudoku for practise: http://rohanrao91.blogspot.in/2015/06/indian-sudoku-championship-20...

Hi Rohan,

In your filler sudoku,total shaded cells should be 45, its 44 here and 5 is appearing only 4 times in shaded cells

Yes, I missed a shaded cell. Its fixed now.

Here's a nice Triomino Sudoku I just solved by Ashish Kumar - https://solvetheunsolvable.wordpress.com/2015/06/27/puzzle-38-triomi...

Note that its pretty difficult though.

Yeah its very tough please someone provide any solving tips.
and about odd even view what are its basic solving strategy

Really enjoyed solving this one. Well constructed.

Triomino (specifically Ashish's) - Note exit points for corner boxes. If a triomino 'goes out' of the corner box, there needs to be another place where it 'comes in' to make up the numbers. So if there aren't two exit points, the box must contain the entire triomino within itself. As a general tip for this variant I suggest having two sets of markings, one for cells which will contain a Triomino, and the other for cells which must contain digits (which isn't necessarily limited to just the cells with givens/solved digits).

Odd Even View - Where there are two clues, the rules force one of those clues to be in the first cell from that direction. If there is a side that is entirely double-clued like the example in the Instructions booklet, then whatever digit occurs only once (e.g. 8) needs to be in the first cell of that direction, since, using the first sentence, it can't be anywhere else. Also, as a general tip here, it is useful to have two sets of markings, one for 'cell containing odd digit' and another for 'cell containing even digit', these can be useful without placing a digit at all. For instance if you solve the IB one, you should get 2 in R9C1 which forces R7R8R9C3 to be odd and that can be marked to keep track.

Actually, generally speaking, all boxes must have 0, 2 or 3 exit points. No box can have 1 exit point.

Posted one Odd Even View Sudoku for practice

For a moment I thought it was the same puzzle as in the IB. The clues are positioned the same and there is also that pair of 1 and 4 on the left side :)
