Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | greenhorn - 2014-12-15 9:37 AM I am very curious about this contest. It contains many sudoku types that are not so common and usually are presented in very difficult way. Yes. For Descriptive Pairs and Skyscrapers, the instructions sound more complex than they actually are. Distances and Next to 9 are, of course, lesser known variations. Hope to see some easier Distances or Descriptive Pairs - they have the last chance to gain some sympathy :) In general, Sudoku Mahabharat grids will be relatively easier as you would have found out already. I am hoping all variations manage to gain a lot of sympathy. Edited by rakesh_rai 2014-12-15 10:46 AM | |||||||||||||||

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | There was some confusion on whether the clues for Next to 6/Next to 9 indicate the numbers in order. The clues can be in any order. They just indicate that these two numbers are adjacent to 6 or 9 respectively. Modified instructions below: Next to 6: Place a digit from 1 to 6 in each empty cell so that each digit appears exactly once in each row, column and 2x3 box. Additionally the clues outside the grid indicate the numbers to be placed in the cells before and after the cell containing 6 (in any order) in the corresponding direction. Next to 9: Place a digit from 1 to 9 in each empty cell so that each digit appears exactly once in each row, column and 3x3 box. Additionally the clues outside the grid indicate the numbers to be placed in the cells before and after the cell containing 9 (in any order) in the corresponding direction. | |||||||||||||||

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | Since outside sudoku variations will normally not have too many inner cells filled, sometimes it is difficult to decide where to start. Below are some general tips on starting (I presume many of us already know these): Outside: Try to look out for common numbers in the clues, starting with the four corner boxes. These can help place or eliminate some cells. Skyscrapers: Try to place the 9s and 8s first. Also look out for bigger clues first. Next to 9: If all clues are given, then you should look out for single clues which mean that the 9 is on the edge. Distance: Remember that the numbers in the clues are in order (top to bottom, or left to right). Start with bigger distances. Descriptive Pairs: Try to look for same set of numbers on one side. Also try to look for the same number in the clues on opposite sides of a row or column. Many times you should be able to eliminate one of the two possibilities (example: since X cannot be in the Yth cell, Y MUST be in the Xth cell). | |||||||||||||||

PR 2020 (Shading and Loops) Author Posts: 668 Location: India | Awesome Puzzles Rakesh, My favourite were Descriptive Pair both and Distance Big. I thought so that i will have tough time in Skyscraper so kept it for last and this strategy helped me. Fortunately at last moment just few min before could complete the whole test. Thanks Rakesh and LMI :) | |||||||||||||||

Losing 20 minutes to the website going down a few times while solving online hurt so I didn't finish as many as I should have, especially with finishing Descriptive Pair 9x9 right after time expired. Beyond that, excellent test. | |||||||||||||||
