Thanks for the puzzles, Richard! I enjoyed the variety, and I thought putting 4 to a page was a good idea. (and when I say a bit too many puzzles, I really mean not quite enough time - for me anyway!)

Cheers,
Dave

Excellent quality puzzles, but very hard. Good for vacation. I miss Me. Stolk's puzzles in Breinbrekers. Maybe someday Puzzelsport will accept credit cards and I could subscribe in the USA.

Nice Test.
And definitely giving test in evening was bad idea but no option was there ;). After 70 min there were few disturbances and some how managed to solve one more in last 30 min and did mistake in two which i couldnt recover. Considering that and other's scores i think it was ok performance.
I felt 120 min should have been ideal for this test.
The puzzles were very nice, after solving one or two i felt they were tricky than hard. So needed more time to figure out in each. Among all i solved, killer, quad sum and consecutive were best. Ofcourse consecutive i got logic but did some mistake and couldn't solve it back in time.
Anyways Enjoyable test, have to solve all remaining later :)

I never thought that a 7x7 test could be this tough!All the sudokus that I solved during the test had a lovely and narrow solving path.Great set of practice puzzles too which served as an antecedent to this set.
Thanks Richard for a great set of sudokus!You continue to keep producing tests which are unique and high in fun quotient. : )

As this issue was addressed earlier,
but again Online Interface is not available for this test.
So you need to print out and solve or in paint or anywhere else where you are comfortable with.

Good luck :).

The test is running till the end of today if you still want to participate. After that the password will be removed so you can solve in your own pace without the competition pressure.

Thanks Richard, that was fun. I had the most trouble with the Arrow, Consecutive Circles and Fortress, but I'm glad to be able to squeeze out all 20 in the last few seconds.

I had a small issue with the diagonal Sudoku that it didn't print the dotted diagonal lines. It didn't really cause an issue as I checked the rules and added them myself. I don't know if anyone else had this issue.
