Posts: 225 Location: Thailand | Welcome to sudoku solving! I'm afraid the harsh truth to improving your speed is practise and lots of it. Speed-solving is about recognising the easy deductions quickly for easy-medium puzzles. The best solvers should be able to finish SM's 6x6 in about a minute(!) each. Learning advanced techniques can help you solve harder puzzles but using it during speed-solving is another matter. With practise, fast solvers would quickly see harder techniques (and employ them quickly) which improves their solving time. You learn these skills by solving hard puzzles (without guessing) to add patterns to your repertoire. In a competition, there is a threshold of difficulty where guessing would be quicker than logical solving. Though, top solvers would only use guessing as a last resort, since they would've nailed the basics and make most of their deductions early on. Hope this helps! | ||||||||||||

A good set to start the 2020 SM season. I found the Diagonal Sudoku a bit too difficult, while the rest of the set a bit too easy. It was an enjoyable round. | ||||||||||||

I am way too slow to ever be a competitive solver. That being said, I enjoyed the few puzzles I had time to solve and will try the rest later. | ||||||||||||

Posts: 1 Location: United Kingdom | I thought this was a nice set of puzzles, and well graded relative to each other. I always like a set I can finish within the time limit! Would LMI be interested in our mentioning the Mahabharat and perhaps showing a video about one of the puzzles on the Cracking the Cryptic Youtube channel? Mark Goodliffe | ||||||||||||
