This was great fun, as LMI mocks always are. Special thanks to Janek, whose puzzles were exceptionally well-written and include some clever new variants.

Good luck to all! I promise you will enjoy these.

I'll second Ziti's comment that this was an excellent test with many great puzzles in these styles. Many clever work-ins and a good challenge overall. Thanks janoslaw.

Great set of puzzles.
Most of the variants had the variant rule applied in multiple ways.

My speed did not allow me to even have a look at the classics :(

But overall loved the test :)

Very nice puzzles, I had a lot fun. If someone organize the world puzzlemaking championship, Jan certainly would be on the top, too.

Looks like everyone liked the Sudokus by janoslaw.
The timing of the the test (2 hours) seemed just perfect, with exactly one player completing the test.

Overall a successful Monthly Test for LMI, with so many players turning up for Sudokus.

Thank you so much janoslaw.

Amit, you got to look at the Classics. They are very artistically crafted.

Wonderful test !
It was also my best result in an online tournament.

I liked every grid, they were very well constructed, thanks to Jan for this wonderful work !

The 9*9 grid "No 3 odd/even in line Sudoku" was difficult and very beautiful to solve. It took me long time to solve, but it is the grid that my direct competitors did not solve, that made the difference for the 2nd place, as the first place was to hard to reach against Thomas, who did a great performance !

Thanks to LMI for these very well organized tests !

I apologize if I've missed this, but has the password been posted post-test? I was unable to compete over the weekend, and I'd like to try these out this week if possible.

Amazing set of puzzles by Jan. I really enjoyed the test and was a good mixture of sudokus. The 6x6 ones were excellent!
