Hi ,

Want to know if we can make a Sudoku meet in Delhi. And is there any way to be a part of this meet on line : I meant by video calling using Skype or any other tool, so that we can at least watch the session.

There is no permission required to start a meet. Effort needs to come from the local participants in terms of deciding a place and date and time and communicating it to the rest of the local solvers, and then taking the printouts needed. I had connected some delhi participants earlier via email but I am not sure if anything has happened there yet. I can add you to that mail chain if I haven't already and you can initiate things. I can provide or suggest content for the meet.

As for skyping to other meets that is an unnecessary over complication for the organisers and I don't see any special benefit because a meet is designed for people who attend physically.

Yes, I too would like to be part of anything that happens in Delhi

Can you drop me an email at prasanna16391@gmail.com? I will add you to the mail chain where I connected Delhi enthusiasts earlier.

Can any one give the update on the Kolkata meeting? It will be nice to know what happened in the meeting.

We had a nice meet. We started with some classics from Boldt's. Then we solved two classics, an AK, irregular and one non-consecutive anti-knight from Gareth Moore's book. But all the sudokus from Gareth Moore turned out to be very difficult and it took us about 2 and a half hour to solve just 5 sudokus. We had plans to have playoffs also but it was not possible.
Next time we'll have to think a bit on the contents.

Its easy to help with contents. There have already been a few Bangalore meets and some of the content used there can be re-used in a Kolkata meet. Let me know the next time you plan one and we'll see what's best.

Ok. Will let you know when we plan the next meet.
