Looks like all Sudoku grids might have same numbers populated at the start and then based on the variant the solving would differ for each
Bingo! Maybe you should ask for some bonus points. |

And negative points for contradicting his own guess too.
I must say, I like the variants here. Should be right up my alley, so hope I do well for once :P |

Either all odd (13579 ), or all even (2468 ). |

Country : India | It is easy to figure out that both SudoClones and Copy Paste have similar themes. It is interesting that Richard and Sylvain came up with similar ideas with few weeks apart (much before Clone round in BIST ). Thats when we decided to schedule these 2 tests one week apart and to publish the IBs at the same time.
Luckily, the variations in these 2 tests are very different and I'm sure players will enjoy these tests like every other LMI tests. |

Looking forward to the test, although I didn't have much time to practise. Anyway, I doubt if practising would have any meaning for such a slow solver like me. Haha. |

Country : Estonia | TiiT posted @ 2012-06-29 11:34 AM Trio was quite light, so it wasn't very comfortable to solve it. Others were fine, at least for me.
If I read again the scyscrapers sudoku rules, they don't say that you must imagine that every cell in the grid is a scyscraper and the number in cell is representing the height of a scyscraper. The person, who haven't solved this type, will be really difficult to understand the rules. That's probably what pavrose wanted to point out.

Country : France | Yes, there was an omission in the skyscrapers rules : the number in cell is representing the height of a skyscraper. |

TiiT Gray cells in the test pdf will be little darker. |

2. Remember that in this test, both diagonals are to be entered. In paper submission, " \ diagonal " refers to top-left to bottom-right diagonal. " / diagonal" refers to top-right to bottom left diagonal.
3. In online mode, diagonals will not be marked by any arrows.

I have a question for you: Which sudoku did you create first? (My guess would be Anti Knight) |

That would be the obvious guess I think, considering thats the one you can't play with outside/extra clues in. |

I spent a lot of time on a puzzle I was completely stuck in, unfortunately, and while finishing another one I miswrote myself. In one of the diagonals, so that cost me a lot of points. 
I am looking forward to solving the other ones later. |

Country : France | Thanks Fred, Rohan and Richard
The grid I cloned was obviously the antiknight. I wanted to start from a classic look-alike grid. |

Country : France | Very nice set indeed, thanks Sylvain. It was interesting and quite disturbing to play with the same set of givens on all the puzzles. After having screwed up one, it is quite hard to realize that the next puzzle you will try will look the same. Really interesting sensation, and I felt it multiple times since I screwed up a lot of puzzles.
Some pretty logical paths made for a really good test. Now eagerly waiting for Richard's one ! |
