Can someone please explain?


The pencil marks given inside each cell list the ONLY possible candidates that can appear in the cell.So for instance, if you have 5678 as pencil marks inside a cell,it means it can contain only either 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 and not any of 1,2,3,4 and 9 .......

There aren't many examples of this to the best of my knowledge.Here's one that should serve as good practice.But be reminded that it's hard.

Try registering on http://argio-logic.net/ , there is one Pencil Marks Sudoku there every day (sometimes on the harder side).

Also, Shapes Sudoku and True or Lie Sudoku from this year's Indian Sudoku Championship have very similar deductions to the ones required in a pencil marks Sudoku. Link for ISC - http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/?test=ISC2015

Here - http://logicmastersindia.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?pid=6349

The best way to get used to, however, is to solve the examples already given in the flash interface.

I will also note that in Pencil Marks Sudoku
a. there will not be way to erase the already given pencil marks
b. unlike the pdf, the pencil marks will be given at the top left corner (like Killer Sudoku). See example on flash interface.

 How well did the variants represent the theme of the test ? representation could have been better
 What was your opinion of the distribution of easy/hard puzzles? Just right
 What did you think about the puzzle quality of the test? Very nice
 Of the puzzles you solved/attempted, how well did the point values reflect the difficulty? Most puzzles were worth the right amount
 What do you think about including as many smaller grids? Just right
