Great test! one tiny tiny complaint was the formatting of the letter killer, where the cages were too heavy and the major gridlines too faint. Well done to the organisers :) |

Personally, I expect that I cannot solve the hardest (most points) puzzle in the set. This time though, Three is a Crowd was "easy" in that perspective, so thus I would say that the whole set was easier than usually. On the other hand, I spent almost equal amount of time in Kropki.
Nevertheless, there seems to be enough puzzles to compensate the "easiness" so that usual amount of top solvers finishes all of them.
And big thanks to all of the Sudoku GP organizers!!! It was great fun! |

Location: Germany | Had the same experience as others regarding point distribution. There's a general expectation that point distribution scales with expected solving time in some way (often linearly, at least monotonously?). I think it's fine to deviate from that, but maybe it would be worth announcing?
Also stumped by the tripod, would appreciate some hints for the break-in. |

Random point distribution made this contest a bit inequitable and unpredictable. |

Nice conclusion to the series. Especially enjoyed the layout and logic paths in 1011. I enjoy the 3s a crowd type though was a little disappointed the solve was straightforward and there wasn't higher order sudoku logic needed. Thank you to the puzzle writers!
