Great set of sudokus, enjoyed this contest greatly! especially loved the equal sum lines, kid sudoku and odd even bridge, all of which I tried for the first time.
Thanks Rakesh!
Thanks Priyam! Glad you enjoyed the contest.

Yeah, I broke the Killer 4 times, which ruined my contest, leaving me little time to attempt the unfamiliar variants, which I had left for the end.

Thanks to all 148 participants!

Congratulations to all winners, especially all participants who scored above 80. No surprises in the top 5 - Kota Morinishi, Seungjae Kwak, Hideaki Jo, Endo Ken and Michael Ley.

It was a challenging test - with some easy ones to start, some unfamiliar variants and some moderate to tough grids in the end. Also, special mention for Vijaya, Ritaban, Priyam, Aashay, Swaroop and Gaurav who were able to solve 10+ grids during the contest.

Rhombus and Equal Sum Lines were the least solved variants and Mini and Classic were obviously the most solved ones.

Hope you enjoyed the contest. And good luck to everyone for the upcoming WSC!

Great work Rakesh ! loved the variants .... ( did solve the IB ones at leisure) . Just wondering what the title was all about ? PENTAKAIDECA ( I must be missing something ! ) ?

Pentakaideca = "a fifteen sided polygon" - If you look at the contest image, it is a fifteen sided polygon, loosely representing fifteen sudokus in this contest.
