Please explain what '2 odd 2 even' is. Not sure what is meant by '2 consecutive numbers of the same parity'
Thanks
Parity refers to Odd or Even numbers. There cannot be more than two consecutive Odd or two consecutive even numbers in any row or column in the Sudoku. Example, if the two neighboring numbers in a row or column are 1 and 3, then there must not be an odd number on either side of 1 3 as it will become three consecutive odd numbers. |

Sorry, this question is specifically directed at the actual puzzle which appears in the test and is not intended for better understanding of the rules, so we will not be able to answer it. |

The "Which set of puzzles did you like the most?" box has "Odd even Bridge Frame Sudoku" instead of "Odd Even Bridge Sudoku". Edited by An LMI player 2018-03-31 11:47 AM

Great Test.Enjoyed it a lot.Ideally should have finished the test easily within time,but the Coded 9*9 sudoku turned out to be a total Nightmare . : ( Thank you to the authors for a really interesting set of sudokus. |

Good set of sudokus .Very disappointed again that I coudn't complete but I can take positive from the fact that I was very close to finishing.Was about to enter the solution for 5 pointer classic when the timer ran out.So just had the 1 pointers left unsolved and the 5 which I couldn't submit.Coded was the hardest.Favourites are 2 even 2 odd (8 ) followed by True or Lie (7 ).Thanks a lot Kumaresan and Amit for the fun test . |

Wow. My best Sudoku Round ever I guess. And even surprising after seeing results. The day when just everything clicks and no mistakes. I struggled in Coded Sudoku, I just kept guessing and eliminated possibilities quickly. Apart from that, every other sudoku was smooth solve. Wonderful Test. I still can't believe my score. Thanks to Authors and LMI. |

I really liked the set. Good job by Amit and Kumaresan. Althogh i broke 2 odd 2 even twice ( got it correct in the third attempt ) , that was my favourite. I couldnt solve odd evn bridge 6x6 during the test , but later i solved it . It had great logic . Interstingly , this was one of those rare tests where i didnt make any errors while submission. Thanks Amit and Kumaresan for the lovely set |
