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.

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

Thank you to everyone who participated. I am especially encouraged by 203 Indian participants, 8 of whom were from the offline SM round which we hope will grow in popularity as the year progresses. My only request to all the participants now is to continue through the six rounds to get the full SM experience. To some of the beginners and newcomers, don't get discouraged by a low score, we all started from somewhere similar :)

Congratulations to Jakub, Jan and Seungjae, and Rohan, Kishore and Ashish for securing the top 3 International and Indian spots respectively. Also congratulations to the participants who finished all 18 Sudokus of an SM round within 90 minutes for the first time!

I hope everyone enjoyed the set! Now we can look forward to the Substitution and Neighbours variants the youthful duo of Hemant and Pranav come up with for Round 2.
