Country : France | All dots were given, but they only applied to vertically adjacent consecutive digits.
Always read very carefully the instructions! |

Country : Austria | euklid posted @ 2012-08-28 1:15 AM I think I am alone with the problem that I had:
I have completely overlooked the "non-consecutive" constraint at the little odd fish killer! :-)
Without this constraint the puzzle was pretty unsolvable (of course :-) although I had counted the diagonals and knew the corner numbers pretty fast...
Could have finished this test but I am happy with my result anyways. |

Country : France | In my case I could just have read the title... but I guess it wasn't written big enough. |

Country : India | Killer Shootout is now over. Congratulations to Nikola, Sylvain and Hideaki for taking the top 3 spots. Sylvain took 2.5 minutes to check his answers which probably cost what-could-have-been his first LMI title.
22 players finished all 7 puzzles in the allocated 3 hours. Many others submitted 6 puzzles (there are 20 scores of 144, being separated by submission times)
Thanks Stefan for the Sudoku set, and we hope to hear from you about your experience as well.

So I did. I found a few older LK's, started practising and found a few tricks and thought of a few other possible tricks. I wrote them down and that was quite a good idea. Pretty helpful for some grids in the test.
Some of the possible techniques for the Little Irregular Killer that I had written down were not necessary to use in the test.
Since it is possible to have a nice co-operation between chaos areas and diagonals I have made two puzzles for the puzzle portal Germany in which those techniques have to be applied. The easier version solves much faster if you apply the technique, the harder one is very tough if you don’t apply the technique.
Have fun!

Country : Germany | Thank you all very much for participating at my first LMI Test! It was very exciting to watch what you do. I hope you all liked the puzzles and if there is anything in general, that I could have done better - please tell me so that I can learn from this.
Congratulations to Nikola, Sylvain and Hideaki - you were sooo fast - incredible!
I hope to see many of you in Croatia.
Thank you!

I can only advise you to have a look at them; both are very nice, the harder one being truly excellent (and quite tough even with the right technique ). |
