Nice puzzles, Swaroop!
Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed. But to let you know its 80% Hemant contribution and just 20% mine. So I believe he deserves all the credit. : ) |

A big thanks to Hemant and Swaroop for an enjoyable test.Broke the diagonal 9*9 very badly and took way too much time on it.. The quadruple 6*6 and the diagonal 9*9 were my favourites.Nice,challenging test. |

Interesting to note that both untouch puzzles were effectively also only half a puzzle each, given grid symmetries. |

I was pleasantly surprised seeing my rank.I thought I started really bad when I struggled so much on the quadruple (9 ) which I initially assumed to be a 3 pointer for some reason . I was wondering what was going on with me.After guessing in it,I found the logic that I missed, somewhere in between and noticed the points too through the corner of my eye.Somewhat reassured with that,I did fast on the rest and things started going really well in the middle of the test.Finished the high pointers with relatively less effort. My favourites in order are Diagonal (12 ) (there was one particularly deduction involving 37 pencil mark in boxes 3 and 9.Don't know if it can be solved without that but the logic was super cool ),Untouch (14 ) , Quadruple (7 ) and palindrome (12 ) I really enjoyed taking the test!Well done Swaroop and Hemant!!Set was really awesome. |
