Actually, I got X=4 very easily, but found the remaining Sudoku very difficult.
I have written a full walk through for this puzzle, that will be published immediately after the test is over. The puzzle has a perfectly logical solve if you know the way.
But I like to publish the notes to all puzzles at once, so I ask for a little bit of patience... |

Me too, getting X was really quick. The rest was a big problem and I still kept breaking it. |

Location: Thailand | Yes I got X=4 as well. I had the 1-5, 2-6, 3-7, 4-8 pair laid out quickly and it didnt work.
Then I found out that 5-9 was also a pair and it still didnt work... :( |

Location: United States | This test started off great for me, started at the bottom and was flying until I got to rank killer and then I broke it twice which cost me a lot of time... looking forward to seeing the answer/result on it.
Thanks for a fun test though! |

I wish I hadn't made a typo, and I wish I'd learn that I always get stuck on Odd Even type variants and done the Frame 1~9 instead of getting stuck for a long time on the Even Sandwich. Otherwise, it was a fun test. Thanks Richard! :) |
