TTLC?

TT - TTHsieh (who has written multiple tests for LMI, See the authors page)
LC - Lin Minfang aka Leaf Card (who has again written multiple tests for LMI, including several mock tests as well)

Their classics are always highly appreciated. The last one they wrote for LMI (Qixi festival) had lot of nice Sudokus.

Sudoku types - There are 12 classic Sudokus in a relay.
To solve the nth Sudoku, one has to transfer 6 digits from the n-1th Sudoku.
These 6 digits are "Relay Cells".

In the actual Sudokus, the Relay Cells seem like lamp on the x-mas tree, and the goal is to light up them!

where to find an example of such sudokus?could u give an example?

have a question. in the example there are two sudokus given . the numbers in the circle of the first sudoku has to be put in the second sudoku. again , from the second sudoku are the same numbers to be put in the 3rd sudoku or we will get another set of circles from where the numbers will have to be marked to the 3rd sudoku?

Puzzle 2 will have a different set of circled numbers that need to be carried to puzzle 3... otherwise it wont be a relay...since you will simply use circled numbers from puzzle 1 into all subsequent puzzles...

by solving the previous puzzle, you will find if they were repeated. it's not a part of the rule.

I am not sure about the rules - once I find out the 6 circles from sudoku 1,
do I know what circles I should put them into in sudoku 2? Or it can be in any order - I should work this out?

Thanks for your help,
Ronald

Nice set of grids. Inspite of reading the rules, I spent quite some time trying to fit the six numbers from grid 1 into the solid circles of grid 2...before finally realizing that I should be putting them into the dotted ones.
