Seemed like a nice set, although many I didn't even have time to glance at. I found 9 x 9 anti knight VERY difficult. Must have missed some critical deduction somewhere. Couldn't solve even after 40 minutes. |

I really enjoyed this set .Thanks Richard and Arvid. From the sudokus, that I solve of Richard in general and particularly from Logic Masters Deutschland portal, I was expecting this test to be the hardest of the 4 rounds and had made up my mind not to get upset in having a few sudokus incomplete or having a bad round. So one can imagine my surprise when I could in fact complete it with bonus .
Like others who had commented earlier in the thread, I too had difficulty solving Anti-Knight and had to use bifurcation at the end. I intend to find the logic a little later. My favorites of the set in order are Scattered(12),Deficit(8) and Consecutive(10).
The test has been finely attemperated in difficulty and nothing to complain whatsoever . Thanks once again to the authors for a beautiful set and good luck to all who make it to the top 60 for offline finals . |

Saw many puzzles for the first time, some were easy but most hard. I didnt look for competition booklet before i started. Guess it was mistake, but more interesting.
I really liked the online mode( dont have printer) |
