Well done, Prasanna!
I liked the 'LMI' in the Arrow, the symmetry of the large Frame, and the multiples of 5 theme in the large Mathdoku.
Thanks for the puzzles, cheers!

There was a theme in the Killer too, just in case people miss that. I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzles :) |

Location: India | Awesome Puzzles Prasanna. All puzzles were very nice. I liked killer and Frame very much.
I knew that Rakesh you are good in Math Variations, so had a little thought in mind that if want to lead you then need to do really fast. As i am weak in Math variations. But after test was over i felt that i did well than i thought but little i know that still you are leading :) Well done.
Thanks LMI and Prasanna for awesome test :)
Looking forward to Next Episode. |

Very nice puzzles Prasanna!
It's been a long time since I participated in a test. The math-theme suits me always fine, so this was a good moment to join again. Unfortunately I messed up the mathdoku once and the killer twice near the end, otherwise I would have been close to completing a test.
Thanks for all the efforts; keep up the good work! :) |

Ah!That was an enjoyable sprint test.I feel completely satisfied with my performance.I would have wrapped up the test in ~60mins had it not been for the 3 broken attempts in product sudoku 1!
I kept repeating the same mistake of assuming the 12 product in Box 6 to be composed of 3,4 pair.(2,6) never occured to me until the fourth attempt during which I started from a different portion of the puzzle.Eventually,this 'little' puzzle ended up costing me 11mins.But that was just a single negligible blemish in an otherwise wonderful test.
My favourites of the lot were Mathdoku and Frame sudoku.The way in which 5 and 1 played their part in Mathdoku was fascinating.Frame sudoku turned a bit difficult and more interesting towards the end.
Thanks a lot prasanna for a delighful set of sudokus!I had great fun solving the test...... |

Location: India | The test was really nice...thanks Prasanna. First time, I completed all the puzzles. It was satsfying.
In between, I lost almost ~25 minutes....as current went off. I was submitting all puzzles except 6x6 puzzles...and in between this
sets up the panic on me, as I was concerned, if I could even able to submit or not...and, I tried to access LMI on my mobile...but page didnt turn up.
Finally by God's grace I could submit them on time.
I have not broken a single puzzle even in time during and after panic. I would like to thanks Prasanna for this
as he told me to just get puzzles right and dont think of speed...that will eventually come.
Really thanks Prasanna.

Location: India | It was a wonderful set of puzzles prasanna. I had expected it to be both tough as well as tricky but it was far from both. In around 70 min I had completed everything except the 7 pointer arrow and 3 pointer product Sudoku. But as it always happens with me in the last minutes , I couldn't finish product Sudoku . Kept making mistakes in that . Nevertheless, the test was real fun . Thanks a lot prasanna. |

Location: India | Hello Prasanna...
The set of sudokus were really interesting... But however while solving I found a conflict in 9x9 mathdoku.. a digit 5 in the circle can have the combination 7-2 apart from 3+2... I have a screenshot of it...please clarify my doubt |

You can send the screenshot to my email (prasanna16391@gmail.com) if you still want me to take a look, but remember that each box must contain the four different operations, and that might be your problem. If you have +, -, * AND / in each box and still have a uniqueness issue, then send along the screenshot. |

It looks very curious that the %Correct of Mathdoku 6x6 is obviously lower than the others... Unfortunately I myself am one of them who involuntarily contributed to it :-P
