Linking with WPF Sudoku GP registration

Here is how you can link you LMI registration and WPF Grand Prix registration (http://www.worldpuzzle.org/sudokugp/).

When you login in the submission page, you will get a pop up window as shown below.



3 options are listed. Choose one of the options and click on Save
Option 1 ) You can specify your email id for WPF registration. (By default your registered email address with LMI is shown. Edit it as needed.)
Option 2 ) You can specify your Nick name for WPF registration. (By default your username at LMI is shown. Edit it as needed.)
Option 3 ) Choose this option if you have not registered at WPF. In that case, we will keep showing the pop up every time you visit the submission page.

Online Solving Enabled

We have now enabled online solving of all the examples. Check the submission page for details.

As noted earlier, the flash online solving will only allow you to mark / unmark 1-9 on the grids. There is no feature to mark anything else.
For Braille Sudoku, the left grid is disabled, and you can solve only on the right grid.

Based on previous LMI tests, we think most players will solve on paper and not use the online solving interface. However, if you are one of those who plan to use online solving, you must practice solving as many examples as you can using the online interface. And if you are already familiar with the flash interface, you should still check it out because the layout of the sudokus is different (and hopefully more friendly) than previous tests.

Clarification on Odd Even Frame

Outside/Skyscraper is out, but the same rule applies for Odd Even Frame as well. That is, each clue must fulfill at least one of the sums. It may fulfill both, but there is no obligation.
For example, if 4 is the clue outside, the first 3 digits could be 1,3,4 in any order.
This has been clarified earlier.
