Odd Even & Twisted Classics (SM 16/17) Author Posts: 460 Location: India | forcolin - 2010-11-21 12:00 AM Just to let anyone know that a Sudoku contest based on this very principle is currently running on argio-logic.net at this address [url]http://www.argio-logic.net/?p=headshrinker[/url] the contest is based on "tough" diagrams (er, at least for me...) and the time starts ticking when a player opens an applet (take care not to open two or more applets at the same time...) if you want to have a try..... Stefano Hi Stefano, yes that is exactly the kind of contest that is being proposed with no time limit.... the best part is there are 3 Indians in the top 4 positions with a canadian participant at 3rd, Cant remember when that happened last time :D The position might change as the competition is still on and somebody could always solve it faster.

Location: India | purifire - 2010-11-21 8:14 AM I'm not sure what you mean by "exactly that kind". I thought Headshrinkers is about (very-)hard Sudokus, and that is why the contest has no time-limit. yes that is exactly the kind of contest that is being proposed with no time limit The purpose is completely different here. | ||

When I say exactly that kind of contest I mean a contest with no time limit... I am not referring to the difficulty level of the puzzles.... The discussion here is about a competition which does not have a time limit. However this type of contest is possible only in an online format ... unless a separate pdf is created for individual puzzles and time for each puzzle calculated when the pwd for individual puzzle is taken from the site.

Posts: 5 Location: India | Very nice set of puzzles, David! It was nice solving some JUST ARITHMETIC puzzles (Sequences, Strips), instead of the regular GRID-based logic puzzles Also, for a change, the timing was nice - short and sweet (though i could solve hardly few of them) Edited by SrikanthB 2010-11-21 11:56 AM | ||

Posts: 31 Location: United Kingdom | I entered the wrong key for #4 - I put in the contents of the greyed area rather than the arrowed rows. Any chance of upgrading my score from 'disastrous' to just 'miserable' ? Nice puzzles - not enough time for me. Will enjoy them later... Thank-you for the contest! | ||

Posts: 12 Location: United States | If someone could check my entry for #1, it would be appreciated. I can't really explain it here without giving away part of the solution, but I think the error there should be fairly clear to someone who looks at it. (Unfortunately, the other 0's I submitted are all legitimately incorrect solutions ) Thanks to David for the interesting puzzle set, and especially to everyone affiliated with LMI who contributes to administering these contests every month. | ||

Posts: 12 Location: United Kingdom | David and Deb Great test, lots of fun, although as a Maths teacher, I could have done with less adding up. Time seemed fine to me - I wouldn't expect to finish one of these (and I didn't, obviously) - maybe 60 minutes would have been better, but I still wouldn't have caught the thing that caused me to waste a lot of time on one puzzle (won't say what for fear of spoilers) Cheers | ||

Posts: 4 Location: United Kingdom | Very enjoyable set of tests. I realise I have entered the incorrect key for #4. I entered the bottom row of both puzzles rather than the 3rd row of the right hand puzzle. I'm relatively confident I have the correct solution, although of course won't give it away here. Any chance of rescuing some points for that puzzle??? | ||

Posts: 13 Location: United States | Would it be possible to check my answer to #7? I separated lines by commas and the system did not like it. Thanks. | ||

Posts: 43 Location: United States | Hi Deb - I also entered the yellow-outlined areas on #4 as my answers .... In any case, compliments to David for some very clever puzzles (I ran out of time, so I will enjoy Deb's ESB later). Best regards Dave Edited by davep 2010-11-22 3:24 AM | ||

Meta Loop (2020) Author Posts: 10 Location: United States | Aw, I had my first typo when entering one of the FLIP 'n' Fills. And it knocked me down a bonus point bracket! If it helps, my typo implies that a number ending in a 0 was flipped (which is clearly false). But I can understand being strict about this, and it's not like I'm really in contention for a top score anyway. | ||

Posts: 152 Location: United Kingdom | Deb - I think there's a bug with regards to the puzzle rating system. I can't seem to give a rating for the two puzzles I had a manual override on the score. For what it's worth, I thought #3 was a 6/10 and #12 was an 8/10. | ||

For now, I've added your ratings for the two specified puzzles.Deb - I think there's a bug with regards to the puzzle rating system.

Meta Loop (2020) Author Posts: 10 Location: United States | Admin, I think willwc's point is that there is no row I: the rows read ABCDEFGHJK. So by "I" he meant "the thing after H". | ||

Location: India | Congratulations to Thomas Snyder and Hideaki Jo for topping in FLIP. Only 2 players to complete, and by what a margin - 18 minutes remaining. Only few seconds separating them apart. Nikola continued his trend of single-puzzle-mistake from Renban. He would have otherwise got 9 minutes bonus. In Indian ladder, Rakesh converted his 'good performance in Renban' into a 'great performance in FLIP'. And we've Keshava at 3rd position among Indian participants. Well done, Keshava and hope to see you do better in upcoming tests. | ||

Sorry willwc. Thanks ostroffj for pointing. 3 players did the same mistake. pushpa.mr RJH0723 willwc All of them get full points. willwc's score is 360 now, and he moves to 15th position. | ||
