The puzzles were good (the ones I got to anyway), but I have to give a big thumbs down for not drawing the diagonal constraints when they were there, and for the numpad situation as well.
I'm to be blamed for the numpad issue. I didn't test it properly. I'm extremely sorry about that. It was especially important since jaku111 wanted all the cells to be filled.

Does anyone have the solution to relay 3? I keep hitting the same contradiction again and again, where r4c6 of absolutely potential is forced to be a 1, which leads to an immediate contradiction in the diagonal outside. jaku111 found that some circles are missing from the puzzle 12, which is the first puzzle in relay 3. That is why the relay is resulting in a contradiction.
It is surprising that the problems were not caught during pre-test.
There were same problems in puzzle 1 and puzzle 5.

Country : India | jaku111 confirmed that 3 puzzles had missing circles / lines. Puzzle number 1, 5, 12.
Also, puzzle number 13 and 14 are dependent upon 12.
So, jaku111 thinks everyone should get 0, while I think otherwise.
Lot of players have not noticed the missing circle in 1,5 and got it correct. So I think they should get full points.
I'm waiting for jaku111 to decide what to do. After that results will be displayed. |

Country : ITALY | Hi, I enjoyed this mock as usual, but I think you shouldn't consider the wrong puzzles.
I lost a lot of time trying to find were I was wrong in puzzle #5 (111) and in the end I thought that maybe some circles were missing.
I don't think that players who didn't noticed it should get the points.

Country : India | I’m really sorry for wrong tasks 5, 12, 13, and 14. It was my first tournament and perhaps that was a common beginner’s mistake. There is only one way what to do – not to count these tasks in. I promise I'll make fewer mistakes next time.

Country : India | Based on Kuba's decision every player gets 0 for 5,12,13,14.
Puzzle 1 is correct. So players get full points if they have solved correctly.
Complete results is out
Many congratulations to cpickerel and Branko for topping the list.

I think puzzle 8 (relay 1, even sudoku) has 2 solutions. You can swap 3 and 5 in region 2, 5 and 6. Am i wrong?

Country : Switzerland | Fred76 posted @ 2010-04-19 6:16 PM I've re-done puzzle 1 (absolutely potential ).... I hadn't really understand the rules yesterday :bleh: ... nice puzzle, not so difficult ! However, it should have been nice to have examples in the booklet for these new variants.
Mocktest are better when you sleep more than 4 hours the night before

I'm wrong, I had not read the booklet carefully :angry: ! "All the positions of the same numbers are marked in Classic Sudoku."
