Thanks for a very fun and challenging round Nityant and James !

I stumbled too much on the irregular and lost precious time and Arrow I thought had a really narrow solve.

Favourites are :

i) Killer 9x9
ii) Parquet 9x9
iii) Arithmetic pair 9x9

Hope to see you all in offline finals !

I am a bit late, but here is the Sudoku Mahabharat closing message :)

Firstly, I've now updated a new Puzzle Booklet PDF for this round. It contains a bonus puzzle 19, an Arrow Sudoku that was rejected for being too difficult. It is still a lovely puzzle and themed for the round so please give it a try and let us know your experience on it! (Edit - there is a problem with the answer check, I'll fix it soon (Edit - Fixed, but its still behaving weirdly for some solvers. Ignore the hurray message and go ahead and solve. Here is the solution for reference - https://tinyurl.com/26htecrl ))

Secondly, we have cumulative results! As you all know, this year we had 4 rounds and the best 3 scores are selected to add up to the grand total.

Here are the Indian results which are relevant to ISC qualification: https://logicmastersindia.com/SM/2022-Ranks.asp
The top 60 will be sent a mail soon about this.

Here are the overall results including International Participants: https://logicmastersindia.com/SM/2022-Ranks.asp?all=1
SM 2022 had 579 participants getting a non-zero score. Thank you all for participating, and hope to see you again for next year's series!
