Posts: 44 Country : United States | davmillar posted @ 2010-11-11 11:37 PM Munira (and everyone else with small screens): I think I've found a fix and have tested it out on my local copy of the authors page. Deb will be adding the fix to the test pages sometime soon, which should work for almost everyone. Sorry about the inconvenience! |

Posts: 774 Country : India | rakesh_rai posted @ 2010-11-13 9:08 PM Lets not discuss scores here till the test is ON. This time, I think we are able to see all scores lower than your score in the results page. |

After taking the test, you should be able to see your score along with all others who have got < than you.Lets not discuss scores here till the test is ON.

Posts: 23 Country : United States | thesubro posted @ 2010-11-14 8:15 AM 1. I naively thought from the Results tab that all the good sudoku players had been kidnapped and tied up in a closet somewhere as no one had passed my middling score. 2. Now I understand why I am the leader only in my own mind. 3. Was this explained somewhere ahead of time? I must have missed it. 4. Why is this the case and why dont you want us to see the others? Thanks. The Subro |

Posts: 157 Country : India | akash.doulani posted @ 2010-11-14 10:49 AM it was a great test. and since we are only able to see the scores of people lower than us , i was in seventh heaven thinking i was topping . what a nice feeling it was. till rishi woke me up from my slumber and told me about the format of the result. but we must thank zafer for coming out with such lovely set of puzzles. |

Posts: 774 Country : India | rakesh_rai posted @ 2010-11-14 11:22 AM The change in score display is interesting. Although it gives you a (false) sense of being at the top (at least till the test is underway), you do get to know the number of people below you. As for the number above you, it keeps you guessing till the end. I like this change, as long as the scores are not discussed on the forum. |

Posts: 2 Country : Philippines | tjt_1005 posted @ 2010-11-14 1:58 PM Overall, it was another great experience for me. I have never done any sudoku puzzle that has Renban Groups in it. Unfortunately, I lost 42 points because the internet went down and i didn't finish typing the answer to Symmetric Unequal. |

Country : India | Administrator posted @ 2010-11-15 8:18 AM Congratulations to Rishi, Fred and Jakub H. for topping in Renban Grouped Sudokus. Rishi continued from his great performance in Hotpot (where he stood second behind Thomas S.) and finally, we have an Indian at the top of the table. There is very little to choose between Fred and Jakub with only few seconds differentiating them. Nice to see Rohan completing all the grids well ahead in time. deu, cpickerel and willwc played really well to complete all the grids. Few more players had chance to complete all the grids, but minor mistakes crept in (especially Jason who lost the 2nd place because of a mistake in 6X6 Symmetric Unequal) |

Country : India | Administrator posted @ 2010-11-15 8:22 AM 188 participants, and 167 non-zero scores - both better numbers than any LMI Monthly Sudoku test. Thank you everyone for participating. Please share your feedback about puzzles and / or rate them, if you have not done so yet. Zafer, thanks a lot for the wonderful sudokus. I'm sure everyone enjoyed them. |

Country : India | Administrator posted @ 2010-11-15 8:50 AM Also thanks to Ours Brun, who pre-tested the Sudoku, he completed all the grids in very impressive time. to Rakesh Rai for reviewing the IB completely. to David for designing the test logo. to Rakesh, Rohan and Tejal for taking the test earlier in the weekdays, to find out potential issues because of our recent database upgrade. Fortunately, there were none. |

Posts: 774 Country : India | rakesh_rai posted @ 2010-11-15 10:19 AM Rather surprisingly, the two most error-prone sudokus were both 6x6 - non touching and symmetric unequal. |

Country : India | debmohanty posted @ 2010-11-15 10:33 AM rakesh_rai - 2010-11-15 10:19 AM It is indeed little strange. Also the low pointer, Shifted Sudoku 9X9, is solved by very few participants. While viewing 'live' results, I could see that among those who solved it, most players skipped this Sudoku in the beginning and returned to it at a later point in time.Rather surprisingly, the two most error-prone sudokus were both 6x6 - non touching and symmetric unequal. |
