Jason / Branko / Gotroch / Niokla / Rakesh / Rohan / Nikola / David,
Really appreciate your feedback / comments / ratings about the Sudokus.
As the author, it truly means A LOT to me.
Thanks so much.

Thanks to Ritesh / Zafer / Semax / Aditya / Maulef / KimKing for your ratings.

I was expecting more than 3 players to get bonus points, but I think bad mistakes cost bonus points to Michael, David, Gotroch, Frederique.

Gotroch would have got close to 25 minutes bonus points, had his 7 and 8 not swapped.

I think 2 hours was just perfect for the set of Sudokus. All thanks to Amit who tested and set the Time Limit of 2 hours.

very less Indian participants????????????????

What can I say / do? Finally, we had close to 20, which is "ok" kinda number.

But the more concerning factor is there was only 1 in top 10, Congrats to Ritesh (who is getting back to form after WSC)
I chatted with both Rohan and Gaurav regarding their performance, which was way below my expectation.

I feel Indians are not taking it as seriously as others. [PS : This absolutely my personal opinion, not that of LMI's]

Also, probably thats the reason why some players just start the test and don't submit the answers.

The instruction booklet seemed very interesting.. but I couldn't partecipate...

I suggest that we can take the tests during periods of 48 hours.

Hope I don't miss the next one!

Thanks Tejal.
Learnt from Rohan that you had internet problems, and you could not submit because of that. Bad luck :-)

We'll try to make the next ones open for a longer period.
