Diagonal Vision Author Posts: 337 Location: Switzerland | The rule of "Twin Givens sudoku" is strangely formulated: "Two cells will remain empty as these are twins and of the same value." What is the value of an empty cell ?? Fred | ||||||||||||

2021 World Sudoku+Puzzle Convention Organizer Posts: 1775 Location: India | As shown in the above image, it helps to have notations for cells which cannot be shaded. On paper I usually circle the cells which cannot be shaded/crossed out. Then its just about seeing how two shaded cells can be placed in some rows/columns/boxes with many circles considering that the two shaded cells can't be next to each other, and solving the rest as a classic from 1-4. | ||||||||||||

Posts: 102 Location: United States | Is there a mechanism for marking X's in the Twin Givens Sudokus on the online applet? If not, would the applet accept my answer if I were to use a number that would not otherwise appear in the grid to mark X's, e.g. a 9? Or do the X squares have to be fully empty?

You can type "X", just like you would type any other digit. The blank squares can either be blank or have X. We will enable solving of the example online in next half an hour. | ||||||||||||

Not sure if Disjoint sudoku represents the theme of the test. Maybe Isosudoku could have been a possible type. The answer keys for a fair number of puzzles came quite early in the solving process. However, it is always difficult to set answer key, especially for 6x6 ones. Overlap 9x9 and Linked 9x9 were nice. The test was enjoyable overall. Thanks to the authors for this test. | ||||||||||||

Representation - Surprised not to see SudoKurve, IsoSudoku as types. Apart from being too easy, many Sudokus didn't use the "extra" rule of the variant significantly. | |||||||||||||

Really liked the Linked and Disjoint 9x9. Overall a good set but on the easier side. Thanks Rajesh! | ||||||||||||

2021 World Sudoku+Puzzle Convention Organizer Posts: 1775 Location: India | About variant choice, we had two considerations to make. One is, that there is an Irregular variations round too. Another is, that some variants are not supported by the online interface. This is a bigger consideration than the first one, and we'd love to hear opinions on this from solvers who regularly use the interface. How would you feel about 1 or 2 variants not being on the interface? If we can be more flexible in this way we'd have a wider range to choose from. | ||||||||||||
