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 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 !


Ay yeah, I misread it, thanks

And I did a blunder....by not reading the rules carefully.
Followed 2nd and 3rd cell for rows

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!

 What was your opinion of the distribution of easy/hard puzzles? Just right
 What did you think about the puzzle quality of the test? Very nice
 Which set of puzzles did you like the most? Killer Sudoku
 Of the puzzles you solved/attempted, how well did the point values reflect the difficulty? Most puzzles were worth the right amount


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!

The quality of puzzles was exceptional. It was not my day for sure. After solving Little killer in ~20 mins... I did blunder in XSums by putting 17 pair instead of 15 in 9 sum repeatedly in 1st box and somehow never erased that portion in repeated solving. I will keep that solve as a souvenir now. I was just laughing to see it today also.
This just killed my time and when I saw timer some 34-35 mins was remaining, did whatever I could.
Serbian Frame also I broken after losing this much time. I really seriously need to work on these blunders which I make at crucial junctures.
My feeling is I could have finished this in quite good time.

I felt for SM it is slightly on harder side as quality is similar to GP puzzles.
Excellent sudokus I would say and I admire Akash and Kishore as a author and rate them very high. Thanks Akash and Kishore. Lastly thanks Rakesh who would have put his effort in background.

Math round of Sudoku Mahabharat has ended.A total of 41 completed the set and many had come close to finishing the set.Congrats !

As most of you had noted, Little Killer (9X9) is a hard sudoku and is without doubt the toughest of the set.I hope the points allotted justified the same.The solve path is very narrow.Rakesh liked it very much after test solving and in the end preferred it over Mathrax which was also in the pool of sudokus but did not make the final cut. The decision to include LK seems to be correct as most of the other sudokus were of a manageable difficulty level and solvers had to really overcome this tough sudoku to finish the set.

I hope everyone had fun solving the sudokus and thank you to all who had given their feedback ! Thanks to Akash for contributing the bulk of sudokus and to Rakesh for running things smoothly behind the screen without any hiccups !!
