Location: Estonia | I think renban was a bit of out of theme. It has actually nothing to do with the neighbours. Consecutive Sudoku would be more appropriate in this case in example. But the puzzles were nice and I have absolutely no problem with solving renban - It's actually one of my favourites because of what happened in Eger 2011 :) |

Location: Thailand | Let me congratulate you on a test well done. The puzzles were great.
This quibble is more of a general problem than a personal attack.
I think Inequality Sudoku with all relations given is a bad puzzle, not because your particular puzzle is bad but the idea of having all relations given
makes up for a very tedious 'puzzle'. One can either start with the 9s to 8s, 7 and so on... or from 1 to 2 to 3...and so on,
and it becomes more of a laborious work than fun.
ALL Inequality Sudoku where all relations are given works this way.
I think a lot of Thai solvers have had enough of computer-generated Inequality Sudoku in our tournaments, and due to its nature
any attempt at handmaking such puzzle goes unnoticed, the one in the test included.
My recommendation to all future authors is to not give all relations and try to be more artistic.
I can name puzzles from BIST, Tetsuya Nishio Cup and several in the Daily league - where authors present
Inequality Sudoku substantially better with given numbers, patterns and more interesting solving paths than give all relations for solvers to track down 9s and 1s.
I see the 6x6 puzzle has a few relations omitted out but the end result is still very boring to solve.
Please don't take this personal Rajesh, I'm just trying convey an opinion.
I have no problems with other puzzles, and I really enjoyed the test with Either Or Sudoku being my favourite.
Thanks!

Only Greater or Less sign can make me confuse and touchy take long time, but the number clues (Heart) good idea. ^_^
And other puzzles are very good.
Good jobs, Rajesh. |

Check R1C1. You can have a 1 or 6 here. If you put 1, the neighbor cell R2C1 will be 5 or 6 and R1C2 is already 3. This violates the touchy rule. So it must be 6 here. Try proceeding from here. |
