wat is "IB and Submission Link"

IB is Information Booklet which gives you examples of the sudokus types that will be there in the actual test.... Submission link is the webpage you will access to submit your answers...

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.

Lovely set - much appreciated even playing through the tiredness in the early hours of the morning. Although I do regret not having my wits about me to get through to the very end as I'm sure this was very finishable. I managed to not submit puzzle 4 - but I was wondering about a competition of this type...isn't it almost guaranteed that if a correct solution is posted to a later puzzle (say #10 for example) that correct solutions must have been posted to puzzles #1-9?
