Good concept, but i dint get the meaning behind "Cells that are 180° symmetric to each other cannot have identical digits." in Symmetric Unequal. Hi Manuj, Good to see your first (of hopefully many in the future ) post here.
Regarding Symmetric Unequal : Mathematically, as written in Speed Sixes IB, it means "R (m )C (n ) and R (7-m )C (7-n ) cannot contain the same number for all values of m and n."
Does that help? |

Country : Japan | Kota posted @ 2012-12-17 8:25 PM I played this demo.
I was so much irritated that the cursor always skips the hint numbers.
Even if the cell which I want to go to next touches the present position on a corner, I won't be sometimes able to reach by two actions.
Must I be accustomed with this system? |

Country : India | A new option is added now - "Skip Givens"
If this checkbox is selected (default behaviour ), givens will be skipped when using UP / DOWN / LEFT / RIGHT arrow keys.
If this checkbox is unselected, givens will not be skipped when using any of the arrow keys.
Hope this helps you.

I confirmed the changed system.
It seems OK for me. Thanks a lot!
I'll do the best on this test as usual. |

Country : India | Keyboad Shortcuts Typing a digitTo type a digit in a cell, make sure that cell is selected. Then just type the digit.
(You can use mouse right click as well to directly select and type in one go.) ClearingFirst select the cell. Press 'Spacebar' or 'Del' key to remove a typed digit.
If you are playing using Numpad, you can press 0 to remove as well.
(You can also use mouse right click to select and clear in one go.) UndoPress 'z' to undo. Control+z works as well.
For continuous undo, keep pressing and releasing 'z' button.

Country : India | Players finishing all sudokus will get bonus points ( I really don't know if that can happen or not - but we have seen many crazy timings in LMI tests).
Players will get bonus as (seconds saved) * (points earned) / 3600, if all 3 conditions below are met
All 30 sudokus are submitted (within 60 minutes)
No sudoku has blank cells left
Maximum 10 wrong cells. (10 is approximately 1% of total cells to be filled)

Country : India | Some more technical notes
1) Submitting blank cells -
If you click on "Submit And Next" with blank cells in your grid, you will be shown an error. This is done so that you don't submit a blank grid by mistake.
You can get rid of this error by pressing Control while clicking.
Similarly for Clear All
2) Timers
As you might have noticed in the Demo page, there will be 2 timers. One for the current sudoku and one for all sudokus.
Sudokus will be auto-submitted at the end of 5 minutes and also finally at the end of 60 minutes. That means you can just focus on solving without worrying about timer :-)
3) Submissions after 60 minutes is also allowed, although they will not be added in official score. You can view score page after 60 minutes.

It seems like ages since I had a really good time of things scoring-wise. Of course, its really early to know just how good it is. |
