Thank you to Kishore and Akash for a nice test. Little killer burned too much time for me, but the rest were quite smooth.Favourites were Little Killer 1,Little Killer 2 and X sums 2 Enjoyed! |

Very frustrating set for me. Many "easy" puzzles need a couple of attempts. For me the the 12-point killer was the most fun (and the only harder puzzle I even had time to try ). As always, I shall enjoy these quality puzzles on my own time; I've never quite understood the obsession with speed. |

Country : Germany | rules for serbian frame 1 seem off in the instruction booklet. Am I right supposing that it should be 2nd and 3rd digit just as in the serbian frame 2 sudoku? Thanks |

The Little Killer took almost 30 minutes of solving time - but what a great puzzle! Edited by Feadoor 2020-04-05 2:52 AM

The instructions given in the IB are correct.
i.e., for 6X6 : Row clues are sum of 1st and 2nd digits.Column clues are sum of 2nd & 3rd digits while for 9X9, Row clues are sum of 2nd and 3rd digits and Column clues are sum of 3rd and 4th digits.Hope it's clear now.Good luck !

Excellent set of Sudokus, with clear, logical solving paths. Really enjoyed solving this round. I would have finished the set, but kept on inserting the wrong asnwer key for X-Sums, for no apparent reason. Thanks Akash and Kishore for the wonderful sudokus. |

Awesome set. Loved all 9x9 variants. Little Killer was daunting. Attempted it after the test. Thanks Aakash and Kishore! |

Before doing the round, I saw a forum fost that started with "frust...". I can see where he is coming from. I broke almost all the 9x9 I attempted multiple times (In fact I only solved one (Serbian sums ) I also took very long on that, but that was on me, I had solved an 8 clue as a 7 clue, and unfortunately after that the puzzle didnt break, but just didnt lead anywhere... ). The 9x9 seemed much harder than all the 6x6 also by point value (there were two 4 point 6x6, that seeemed very quuick anyway and I was stuck for ages on all 9x9 puzzles. ) |

Country : Thailand | tamz29 posted @ 2020-04-06 12:03 PM The 9x9's would be great as stand-alones. Anything harder than the 9x9 Killer (a beautiful construction by the way) might be better off not in the test.
The Little Killer took me 20+ minutes which is nearly 1/3 of the test's duration. I see the points being appropriately adjusted but perhaps too hard for SM?
Very nice grids that didn't feel too math-y. Thanks! |

Absolutely wonderful set of puzzles.. thank you for that, Akash and Kishore! My first time attempting online solving and I was hit with a ton of technical last minute issues and ended up doing horribly on this round, but I couldn't help but notice the puzzles themselves were really enjoyable, and just the right amount of difficulty in my opinion! Thanks! |
