Whatever is given in instructions is correct...6x6 follows 234 rule. So it can come in 2nd or 3rd or 4th position. |

Wonderful set of puzzles, thoroughly enjoyed solving this round!
A well-balanced round, and each puzzle in my opinion was set at the right amount of marks for difficulty.
My favourite was the unordered distances sudoku 9x9, and I also loved the 234 outside sudoku, a variant I have tried for the first time!
Thanks, Gaurav!

Too hard for the LMI community to solve this SM round without shedding a tear.
It was very nice of Gaurav and the organizers to prepare the sudokus themed on Shaheer. Favourites: 9x9 Toroidal, 9x9 Irregular, 6x6 Toroidal Enjoyable and a neat set of sudokus. Thanks Gaurav! |

I started with the 9x9 unordered distances and spent ~20 mins on it but couldn't solve it. So, I moved to other sudokus. It was a great set. Though I couldn't solve the unoredered distances, I really enjoyed the set. Would try the unordered distances afterwards. It was a great initiative to dedicate the round to Shaheer. Thank you Gaurav for the great set of sudokus! |

Thanks for a nice set of sudokus Gaurav.I felt that the set was mostly on the easier side and sudokus were very approachable. I say this because I broke Unordered Distances (9*9 ) twice and spent about ~30-35 minutes on the same (which is not surprising as I had too much distraction here when I solved ) and at one point, I had no hopes of finishing the contest.But, fortunately the other sudokus were easier. Favourites are 234 outside (9*9 ) and Toroidal (9*9 ). Thanks again ! I can take a mini break now from SM as I co-author the next round with Akash. |
