Posts: 1 Country : Germany | Tintenklexs posted @ 2021-11-12 1:38 AM The rules to the Odd Even Arrow Sudoku state that "A digit in the circle of an arrow gives the number of digits of the same parity along that arrow". This seems ambiguous to me (but I am not a native speaker): Do x numbers on the arrow all have to be of the same parity, where x is the number in the circle OR Do x numbers on the arrow all have to be of the same parity that the number in the arrow also shares? It looks like thatis the case for the arrows with a three - they are all uneven and share that characteristic with the 3 in the circle. Is that a coincidence? Also, will all the puzzles be worth the same amount of points? If not, are the puzzles in the IB currently presented in accending order of points or will a list be provided prior to competition? |

To the specific question about Odd Even Arrow, The number in the circle is the number of digits along the arrow that have the same parity AS the number in the circle. So a 3 in a circle would mean there are 3 odd digits while a 4 in a circle would mean there are 4 even digits. Hope that clears it up. |

The instruction booklet is very high-quality. Augurs well for the competition itself. Thank you, organisers. |

The ideal scenario is printing them out, yes. To be clear, you won't be printing them "before" the contest but "during" it, you get the password to the PDF after clicking on start once the timer starts up - its the same for everyone. |

Or maybe did I miss something? I have 3 possibilities 1/50 - 2/25 - 5/10, having correctly all the other numbers. Thanks in advance :-). Edited by Zaso 2021-11-14 2:27 AM |

Posts: 6 Country : China | Qyz posted @ 2021-11-14 11:08 AM Yes, that (Puzzle R6P4) Terra XX sample puzzle was broken, we have the correct name and a new sample puzzle in (Puzzle) Instruction Booklet v3. By the way, this thread is for discussions about the Sudoku Competition, questions about the Puzzle Competition should be under another one. Edited by Qyz 2021-11-14 11:08 AM |
