Country : United States | Thanks so much for giving score back immediately. Nice puzzles as one of the final warmups for Sunday.
(780, if anyone is curious, and it would have been 54 more if I could spell as well as I could count...) |

Fred, Branko suggested that the mock should be of 2 hours. So, you should be able to solve most (all) grid in 2 hours.
We've made it 3 hours so that many people get a chance to solve more puzzles.
Hope you enjoy the mock as much as you did in other mocks.
Deb
Thanks, I'll try to do it on Sunday, and certainly not participate in US qualification, where it seems that foreigner are not welcome... |

Country : India | Neeraj: I got 834. Could not complete the last two sudokus even after three hours :(
Deb: Just a thought - Since individual scores are being discussed on the forum, why not as well open up the scores on a live basis instead of displaying them at 8.05 pm. This may also encourage people to score more. |

JCVB, ignore my post... I guess bonus points are 5 per minute so 1080 is correct : ) |

Country : India | Mock18 score is out.
There are couple of problems -
1. The time bonus should be 5 instead of 10
2. The ranking is not correct
will fix that tomorrow. |

Country : Switzerland | Fred76 posted @ 2010-03-28 9:57 PM Thanks for the mock. Really good grids. Unfortunately I made a mistake which made me lose 53 pts + time bonus (something like 29 minutes).
As Caudmont remarked, it seems that it was a little problem in the XV grid. We think that it misses a V between 1 and 4 in the first row. Is that correct?

Country : Serbia | You are right. I see now.
This error was also in files for Serbian Sudoku Championship and no one noticed that before (participants, test solvers, me...).
I apologize to all that had problem with this puzzle.

Country : India | I hope that the error in the XV has not affected the solving of any of the participants.
The error would have almost gone unnoticed, because the 1,4 combination is achieved at the very end of the solving process when everyone stops looking for X, V clues.
To avoid such errors we generally create the images for puzzles like XV, Kropki, Consecutive sudoku programatically using EPS files which Deb has created.
We have to just feed in the solution to such puzzles and it creates the images automatically removing the possibility of manual errors.
If anyone is interested to know more please drop in a mail to Deb or me.
