Hey guys I've seen the 0-8 sudoku before but haven't understood the variation - is the purpose simply to throw people off their usual killer sudoku rhythm? Can't you just add one digit per cell to each cage and treat it as a normal killer?

Looking forward to the test

Yes, and yes.

I don't think it is a variation either, just an attempt at a paradigm shift that is unfortunately more detrimental to online solvers than paper solvers who can "fix" the puzzle. Just be sure to convert back to 0-8 before submitting the answer.

If you do that remember to subtract 1 from every digit for the answer key.

The Killer from the spring sudoku test and the one I made were both zero killers (unclued areas) and had clear cage sum themes. So maybe it's another similar gimmick.

I at first was thinking the greater than killer would have the symbols be between cages (like on killersudokuonline.com) and not between cells.

Hmm... results page isn't showing that anybody has submitted anything, even though people have finished the test, and have actually submitted answers.

Phew, just managed to submit my answers in time.

It was a little bit confusing that the Surprise Killer wasn't named that in the booklet but is named that on the answer key page. It took me a little while to realise the name didn't match the name on the answer key page. But I had actually switched answer pages a few times looking for the right place to put in the answer key.

It's to increase tension.

I think it has some old script remembered as it also already shows ratings before I entered them.

I think I noticed a typo on the Untouch submission form: the online form says to submit row 5 and row 6 but the arrows on the puzzle say to submit row 5 and column 6.

I am not able to see results. It shows the players which participated but not any score. Is there anyone else facing the same problem?

Still disappointed I messed up a chance for completion, but quite happy if it stays like this :P

Great Killers, I can easily say, my favorite Sudoku test on LMI, but I guess I'm biased with liking Killers and all.

Thanks Rishi :)
