I'll do better next time !
You are having some kind of love-hate relationship with my sudoku tests. You ranks in last LMI sudoku tests that I authored : 26, 9, 3, 34, 8, 27+
Yes, but this one is in the "love" category, despite appearances. I really would have liked to play in better conditions. |

Location: France | This was a great set of puzzles. Not that it is a surprise, but it is always worth mentioning it. Every puzzle had something notable, and I would have a hard time saying which ones I liked the most.
My own performance is pretty disappointing, as I did well on many puzzles and played as bad as it is possible on the others; in particular, I spent my last 30 minutes screwing each and every puzzle I attempted, and ended solving none of them. Considering this, I think the test was well-timed: I could definitely have reached a perfect score, although I probably wouldn't have saved a lot of time.
Regarding points distribution, I must say that I was a bit surprised. The odd/even frame in particular went prettty well, I needed less time on this one than on several 30 to 40 pointers. Now, this is more an observation than a critic since I have known for a long time that Deb's puzzles often need some special thinking, which makes it hard to estimate their difficulty.
Great test once again, thanks Deb! |

I am having such a forgetful day today. Just want to confirm that I have claimed the points for Diagonal Sudoku (not sure if I pressed the correct buttons). |

I think there's an error now and there's no time mark noted anymore for my last visit as it won't let me revisit the score page. It also doesn't tell me when I can revisit it again. Pretty sure it's been over 60 minutes. |

Location: India | Yeah - there was an error. Fixed now. |

That was a lot of fun! I thought the layout of the odd sudoku was very cute, and the renban was a lot of clever logic. The quad sum had a great layout too. The odd even frame fit together really well too; I spent way too much time thinking about how many odds or evens could add up to different totals, but now it makes me want to have some fun with a whole book of puzzles like this. I hope someone will write one someday!
This was one of the most interesting killers I've seen, too.
So many nice puzzles! |
