Part 1,2,3 - Sudoku


They say "Part 1,2,3,4 - Sudoku". that's what scares me.

My mistake. Looks like part 4 (Logidoku) was used for both the championships.

Round1 of and 2 do not give a feel of a Sudoku event. Finding out right or wrong sudoku is not the way I would prefer to start a logical puzzle event. Second round reminds me of small jigsaw puzzles I did as a kid where tiles had to be moved 1 place at a time. The other rounds are very interesting and I think there has to be a change in the instructions for the triangle sums sudokus and the word diagonal has to be removed. It has to be only "sum of adjacent cells"

It took me a while to understand the rule of triangle sums, especially this "diagonally touching neighbours", because we talk about cells that are orthogonally adjacent to the first cell, but diagonally touching themselves. Imagine that you have ..352.. in a row (first row of the example), then, if you remove this "diagonally touching", cell containing the 5 should be grey (because 3+2=5, and both are neighbouring the 5). But it is not the case, because 2 and 3 are not diagonally touching.

Once you understand the rule, I think it's a nice variant !

I agree Fred... but in the instructions we also have "with its legs facing towards the two neighbours". so the assumption is made the two numbers have to be on the non-hypotenuse sides of the triangle...atleast thats the assumption I made.

The puzzle is interesting, all I am saying is more clarity needed with the instructions. :)

There are too many duplicate placements I can see - D1/E1, C5/C6, A4/A5, G4/H4, G5/H5/H6, ....
But I recall that there was partial points for this round.

In fact, there aren't duplicate placement: there are cells were I do not place any pieces (because lack of time) and on these you see the background picture (on which we had to place pieces). If you look more closely, you'll see for example that in E1, there is a piece placed, but not in D1. D1 was empty, we see the wrong clue of the background picture (that was very confusing during solving the puzzle).

In fact, all the 59 pieces placed in this puzzle are right, I got 114 points.

Since the photo is taken from an angle, some of the elements are not clear.

If I'm allowed to replace by a letter, have I done a correct translation?
