Out of curiosity: Are the puzzles in the IB original, or were they published elsewhere before?

Typically the puzzles are NOT original, they are taken from previous LMI contests (mostly from contests by Indian authors)

Seemed like a nice set, although many I didn't even have time to glance at. I found 9 x 9 anti knight VERY difficult. Must have missed some critical deduction somewhere. Couldn't solve even after 40 minutes.

I really enjoyed this set .Thanks Richard and Arvid. From the sudokus, that I solve of Richard in general and particularly from Logic Masters Deutschland portal, I was expecting this test to be the hardest of the 4 rounds and had made up my mind not to get upset in having a few sudokus incomplete or having a bad round. So one can imagine my surprise when I could in fact complete it with bonus .

Like others who had commented earlier in the thread, I too had difficulty solving Anti-Knight and had to use bifurcation at the end. I intend to find the logic a little later. My favorites of the set in order are Scattered(12),Deficit(8) and Consecutive(10).

The test has been finely attemperated in difficulty and nothing to complain whatsoever . Thanks once again to the authors for a beautiful set and good luck to all who make it to the top 60 for offline finals .

Saw many puzzles for the first time, some were easy but most hard. I didnt look for competition booklet before i started. Guess it was mistake, but more interesting.
I really liked the online mode( dont have printer)
