I am not sure, but I don't think so. As far as I know the administrator is very busy right now, and I wonder if all types are suitable for solving online.

Location: The Netherlands		Since there are not that many sudokus of 7x7 available, I have made a list of all more or less relevant sudokus of that size that I have published earlier on the website of LM Germany. More or less, because I didn’t create all variants in the test earlier. Instead, there are also variants in the list below that do not appear at all in the test. Nevertheless they can be helpful to practise 7x7 in general. I hope it will help.

Variants that are in the 7x7-test:
Toroidal: basic
Kropki: (S)
Kropki: (S)
Consecutive: (T)
Diagonal: (C)
Diagonal + Killer: (C)
Killer: (S)
Killer: (S) (Very hard puzzle!)

Variants that are not in the 7x7-test:
No Touch: (C)
Even: (C)
Outside Sums: (S)
Edge Sums: (S)
X-Sums: (C)
X-Sums: (C)
X-Sums: (S)

As always, I have a few leftover puzzles as well as a few extra practise puzzles. They will be published at the website of LM Germany in the next days in the following schedule:
Saturday: basic chaos and basic toroidal
Sunday: basic scattered and basic double scattered
Monday: Killer (C) and Low (T)
Tuesday: none (My Sudoku Variants Series runs on Tuesdays)
Wednesday: QuadSums (S) and Consecutive Circles (C)
Thursday: Sum 100 (C) and OddMax (S)
Friday: ? and ? That’s still open. If you like to have one or two more practise puzzles, I can prepare those if I know it by Tuesday evening the latest. I have time to make them on Wednesday. Just let me know here in this forum thread what type(s) it should be. If there is no request, that’s fine too.

I hope everyone can have a decent preparation to this test.

No promises about online solving at the moment.

No. In the IB there is a square with digits 1351 without dot in R45C67.

For example: When the highest odd digit is 3, is the set of (3,3,2,1) OK?

No; the instructions say 'A digit in a circle appears exactly one time in the four surrounding cells...'

Other digits may appear more than once, as is the case multiple times in the example.

Basic Chaos, Toroidal, Scattered and Double Scattered are published meanwhile.
These basic puzzles were all on the hard side to be used in the real test.

Enjoy!

Found it. And corrected it as well. Thx!

Joo M.Y - 2014-07-04 5:22 AM

In Points table,

'13. Equal'

should be

'13. Equal (S)'

Fixed it. Thanks.

There will be an updated IB, but I guess that will be after the test is finished. Both corrections are not that interesting...

Monday: Killer (C) and Low (T)


Two new practice puzzles were added: Killer (C) and Low (T)

Friday: ? and ? That’s still open. If you like to have one or two more practise puzzles, I can prepare those if I know it by Tuesday evening the latest.

So far, I didn’t receive a request. If you still like one or two extra practise puzzles, just let me know.

 How balanced do you think the puzzle types of this test were? Perfectly balanced
 What was your opinion of the distribution of easy/hard puzzles? Just right
 What did you think about the puzzle quality of the test? Very nice
 How did you feel about the length / time limit for this test? A bit too many puzzles
 Of the puzzles you solved/attempted, how well did the point values reflect the difficulty? Most puzzles were worth the right amount
 What was your opinion of the booklet formatting and printing? Just right


Thanks for the puzzles, Richard! I enjoyed the variety, and I thought putting 4 to a page was a good idea. (and when I say a bit too many puzzles, I really mean not quite enough time - for me anyway!)

Cheers,
Dave
