Perhaps some of my answers reflect the inadequacies of the survey rather than the test - e.g. of course a kakuro only test is going to be skewed! I found that a couple of the puzzles I had the answer keys way before I'd finished the puzzles. Finally, the test had a strange "feel" to it - more like sudoku than kakuro. But given the password, perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised! |

Yes, you are right. It was not mentioned before, but the original theme of the contest is Kakuro with instructions borrowed from common Sudoku variants... But this name is too long, so we decided to call it just Kakuro.
Edit: Sorry Gotroch, I have not seen your comment before. There were no strange and challanging variants because of the reasons that Tom mentioned in his comment. When we thought about the variants we may use, we come up with three categories - sudoku variants, common variants (as in Antalya 2009) or new challenging ones. We realized that it is enough material to have more than one Kakuro contest. Now it is too early to promise two more competitions (maybe there will be no interest after this contest), but I just want to may you sure, that we have talked about this with Deb few months ago.

Enjoyable Test ! I had great fun solving the test.I am glad that I did not give the test a miss.
There was certainly a thing or two that I learnt from attempting the test ,
which I would certainly remember in similar future tests.Now eagerly looking forward to solving the rest of the unfinished ones in some time.
Thanks to both the authors for creating such a wonderful set of puzzles coupled with a nice practice set!!A great didactic Kakuro test! |

I was able to solve all puzzles/variants which I think I am comfortable with (i.e., excluding GT and AK). Mostly logical solving flow. The online interface worked well for me.
However, in some cases, the answer key was available fairly early in the solving process. |

This question was replied to where you asked it - http://logicmastersindia.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=497&s... . Since the logout step didn't work, have you tried what Rajesh suggested there (using different browsers)? |
