The puzzles were all right but the point distribution was rather poor. IMHO for the big kropki 16 points were faaaaaar too many, while the big average with only 13 points was underrated.

Huh, I had just the opposite experience: I flew through the Big Average (probably took me less time than the small Average) but couldn't find any opening for the Big Kropki.

Thanks to the puzzle makers!!

Does anyone have general tips for kropkis (and kropki sudokus)? I always have a really hard time starting them, and I often just end up having to use trial and error until I find something that works.

@Rakesh
Thanks for the walkthrough. I never got that first '4', probably the reason why I took long.

@Harmeet
Really nice sudokus as a first-time author. Hope to see more from you in the times to come.

@Rakesh and Harmeet
Thanks for this great Sudoku test. All the puzzles were of great quality. I enjoyed all the puzzles. My favorite were Average and Non Consecutive Sudoku. Looking forward for more such puzzles from both of you :)
