I hope you were not expecting any monetary prize. LMI struggles to pay for running this website itself. |

Suggestion - Keep a target for everyone, including newcomers, so that everyone has something to play for.
How can you keep a target for everyone? We would have no clue about the skills of newcomers. And if a newcomer does not achieve her/his target, there is disappointment for the player which is exactly what we have to avoid.
In fact, we can keep it open for longer, so that more players can submit all sudokus. Completing all sudokus within time certainly gives pleasure and I don't see any reason why we cannot have 100 players submitting before time. The time-stamp will anyway separate them with ranks.
giving participants a decent target to achieve in general would help them to ipmrove and on achieving the target, they would be motivated to participate again |

Country : India | channa posted @ 2012-07-23 10:09 AM Great Initiative...Even though i used to have time to attend the contest, but sheer time that was needed to be spent in familiarising with the variants & working out the strategies prevented me from writing them. This will make things a lot easier.
Perhaps, u can also continue to have the previous monthly tests but with lesser frequency (once in three months).... |

Perhaps, u can also continue to have the previous monthly tests but with lesser frequency (once in three months).... Just to clarify, the monthly tests will continue to exist as earlier (i.e. once a month, with no change in format ). That has a different set of audience.
And we expect that "beginners" start participating in monthly tests after they feel more comfortable, in due course of time. Edited by debmohanty 2012-07-23 10:14 AM

Country : India | Round2 can be taken later, even on another day. In fact you can choose to take Round2 before Round1.
The difficulty level of the examples is easy. Can someone else please confirm? Edited by Organisers 2012-07-24 2:25 PM

It is advisable to play sudokus offline (i mean by taking prints of the pdf ), especially if you are a beginner. Balnk screens etc are local computer problems which can be sorted out by refreshing the page or by logging in again. |

Or, it could be a software issue as well in your computer (Adobe Flash player ). Only sudoku tests will have the puzzles appearing on screen and that too, not all tests. |

Oh I didn't see the link for the variants. I can play now Yes, the Variants have a different link. These 2 rounds are independent of each other.
I think top players like you should start both the rounds at the same time and have a maximum submission time of 40 minutes. |
