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: France | There's some very impressive (and suspicious) scores coming from certain competitors... Not sure which is more remarkable, finishing the whole test in just under 2 hours or finishing more than half in under 1 hour and then stopping...

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! |

Did not attempt even/odd/big/small because symbol list did not print. But I only had time to finish seven puzzles anyway. I'll never be a real speed solver, but the puzzles were very clever and I look forward to solving at my leisure. bob |

Almost each puzzle was about singles. I don't think it's a funny style and I don't like puzzles where I need so many singles.
Due to this it was very hard set for me. I wasn't able to solve it fluently but I needed to make small jumps from one single to another.
And because I'm not a beginner I was able to reach some points with guessing on those hard puzzles. Without that I will have 87 points less :(
Nice types of puzzles in this set but too hard I guess.
2 hours were well choosen. You can print it properly and there is enough time for sending answers. So time limit was just right.
But I know it's necessary to practice hard competitions too. So thank you for this competition! |

Location: India | Great set of puzzles....Each had its own beauty and hard to pick one as favorite... But I would venture to say that the Even Odd Big Small would be my pick purely based on the surprising twost to the puzzle... The Quad Sum and Repeated neighbors were tricky.... Overall not bad (performance wise).
Great Job Deb!! |
