2018 is going to be such an exciting year for puzzle competitions, and I couldn't have asked for a better set to start. My only real issue is that the 6x6 expanded sudoku isn't really a variation, but rather two completely independent grids presented in a somewhat confusing way. It took me 180 minutes to finish the whole set, so I've got a lot to work on when it comes to solve times. Everything fell apart when I tried to enter the answer key for the large XV with seconds to go, but I mixed up the answer strings. Thanks for a great set!

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | paramesis - 2018-01-12 6:52 AM My only real issue is that the 6x6 expanded sudoku isn't really a variation, but rather two completely independent grids presented in a somewhat confusing way. Since the grid was effectively 12x12, the intention was to keep the solve simple and "hide" two 6x6s, as you correctly noted. There were multiple ways of complicating the grid but we decided against it for the contest since the grid had become large. | ||||||||||||

Will see the timing to start ;) | ||||||||||||

Posts: 2 Location: India | There are puzzles that comply with the consideration for it to be valid answer, but it doesn't accepts that solution. Why is that so? | ||||||||||||

Despite the fact that I enjoyed a lot, there were some puzzles that had multiple correct answers, but apparently system was willing to accept only of the possible correct solution. Please look into the matter so points can be given fairly to each participants. | ||||||||||||

Please look into the matter so points can be given fairly to each participants. It seems you missed the converse rule. Converse is the theme of three sudokus - XV, Consecutive and Average. In these puzzles, ALL the possible symbols (bars for consecutive, X / V for XV, and lines for Average) are marked on the grid. Kindly check your multiple answers. I am sure there will be rule violations in these - (a) two neighbouring numbers adding to 10 without an X, or adding to 5 without a V (b) consecutive numbers without a symbol, and (c) central number being the average of two neighbours without a line. | ||||||||||||

A great start to SM 2018 ! I hope the trend continues in all respects and aspects :).I had a very smooth run during the test.Not breaking any sudokus helped a lot. I really enjoyed solving the Linked Classics(14 points) ,overlapping(12) and Expanded(7) as well.Consecutive(11) was the hardest to crack for me following by XV(9).I felt that the set is on the harder side and should be difficult to complete but there was no doubt about the fun quotient.I enjoyed a lot .Well done Akash ! | ||||||||||||
