No. Flash is not supported on Ipad.
As such the flash interface here is not (at all) optimized for touch solving.

One thing is that Scattered 6x6 felt really hard to me(took lots and lots of time, almost comparable to Scattered or Chain 9x9), but other than that this contest was great, especially the idea of Surplus.

Ouch. After not doing sudokus for a few months, I broke the surplus 6x6 and 9x9, chain 9x9, two standard 9x9s and the standard 8x8. The solves were all good, but the toroidal was particularly amusing :) At least I quickly could tell that I didn't break it...

I could not uniquely solve Irregular Sudoku (Small example on Page 4) in IB. It seems to be having multiple solutions (at least more than 4)
Here is one of my alternative solution.

Please do let me know if I am making any mistakes while solving this puzzle?

Even to solve offline, I'm not able to login.
In the discussion page, I'm shown as logged in, but when I go to the sudoku page, I cannot find either the login credentials or the password for the competition. Please help!

R1C6 and R2C4 are in the same region and you have two 5s. So there's one mistake. I just solved the puzzle fine.

I don't know what happened, but I got into "the flow" and felt like I had my best performance for years. Pure adrenaline. Wow. Thank you for this experience.

Thanks Prasanna, mistake was from my side, I could not proceed logically after putting some number for this Sudoku. Making a guess lead me to different solution and I did not realize that same numbers fall on same regions.

Rohan and Deb - Thanks as always for the time and effort put in to making another enjoyable set of puzzles. I found the surplus challenging, as well as the chain. My favorite was the large toroidal (I liked the BL to TR pattern).Cheers, Dave

I also found the 13 pointer (surplus 9x9) more time-intensive than the 17 pointer (chain 9x9).
