All excellent grids.Right from naked singles in the very first classic to pointing pairs the sudokus had everything.I really enjoyed the test.
In hindsight i could have avoided jumping from sudoku to sudoku in the last 30 mins and could have completed atleast one in that time.The big pointer ones scared me since even the 23 and 30 odd pointers managed to eat up a fair share of my time.
Thermo sudoku was too good!!!!!!with only the thermometers paving the way for numbers.35 mins of my time was totally worth for the 42 points.
I m finding it hard to complain about the difficulty level since this is the world sudoku Grand prix and one would expect the grids to be very challenging but a feedback is subjective.
In the end a maximum of 3 stars for this test *** :)

(1) Odd Even Frame Sudoku was worth 50 points but I personally thought that the answer key could have been tougher/ better. I started solving and the first three rows were almost completely solved when I looked at the answer key and was a little surprised to see row 1 and row 3 there.
(2) This has been discussed already. But Odd Even Big Small deserved more points than what it shows up currently. I (and probably many others) had to open the IB again and look at the instructions. I thought I had not seen the latest IB so I checked for the symbols in the IB again. No luck. Then I understood that the author is Deb; so we obviously had to decipher the symbols as part of solving.

Reminder - Linking with WPF Sudoku GP registration
There are few players who are yet to link their WPF registration. Please read this post on how to do it.
If you are seeing a star (*) next to your name under GP column in the score page, you must link your WPF registration so that your results will be considered for WPF GP.

The puzzles were very nice, although unusually I found there were a lot of medium difficulty puzzles, and not too many very easy (useful for filling time at the end) or very hard puzzles (useful for getting big points!).

Well done to the puzzles I solved. Like quite a few people, I was surprised that the OEBS Sudoku had symbols as opposed to the actual words. I was also quite surprised by the lack of given numbers in Thermo Sudoku. Finally, I spotted the breakin in the Diagonal Sudoku (with the 3s) about 5 minutes too late, leading to myself running out of time.

For odd even big small, the example in the instruction booklet doesn't have the twist of the unknown symbols. I checked the booklet, if there is a problem of printing. Then, I saw the rule. Anyway, it was one of the good puzzles in the test.
