Excellent creations James. Hard to believe that such a beautiful set came from someone authoring a round for the first time. My favourites are Irregular(9*9), Linked sudoku (9*9) followed by the Scattered (9*9).

I really enjoyed solving the set and this round I feel would be a very strong contender for the best SM round of this year. Great work. Keep it up !

Well-balanced, neat and enjoyable set of sudokus.
I generally dislike Kurve but the two here were beautifully constructed.

Favourites:
9x9 Scattered
6x6 Kurve
9x9 Kurve

Thanks a lot James!

Thanks to the 337 participants, and the 48 finishers.

Congratulations to Tiit Vunk, Tantan Dai and Kota Morinishi for taking the top 3 spots. Tiit was the only one to finish under 40 minutes. Also, Congratulations to Prasanna Seshadri, Rohan Rao and Kishore Kumar for taking the top three spots from India.

Thanks to James Peter for authoring this round! His debut on LMI as an author and some excellent creations in this contest. Scattered 9x9 was, not surprisingly, the least (correctly) submitted grid.

Those who missed taking part in this test can still take this test unofficially.

Thanks to LMI for giving me this opportunity. As someone who has never set a contest level set of sudokus, it was very much gratifying to have someone like Rakesh Sir, to help me out. Again Thanks to all the participants who have taken part in this competition. Congratulations to Tiit Vunk, Tantan Dai and Kota Morinshi for securing the top 3 spots. From India, Congrats to Prasanna Seshadri, Rohan Rao and Kishore Kumar for their win.
Thanks to Rakesh Sir for test solving the puzzles and coordinating everything that was required to be done.
Thanks for all your positive Feedback.
Hope it will all continue to do so.

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped me.
