First... Congratulations to top 3 competitors: Hideaki, Takuya and Seungjae. Especially to Hideaki for solving all the puzzles! And proving that it's possible in two hours :)
Second... Sorry
I know that it was pretty hard and there was not enough time, but there are two main reasons for that. It was a selection from Serbian Sudoku Championship. I tried to choose the better and less classic puzzles and it turned out that better+nicer+more interesting=harder. The second reason is the selection of the test solvers. You should never choose Prasanna and Nikola for thet job. Never. They are soooo good :). Anyway... I hope that there were some good puzzles in this contest and that you liked some of them (at least "without the annoying clock").
Thank you all for your participation. And, of course, thank you, Deb, for your help and perfectly organized contest.
