I have a question: in 234 Outside also the 6x6 is following this rule? Or in case of 6x6 the numbers outside are in 2nd or 3rd position?

Whatever is given in instructions is correct...6x6 follows 234 rule. So it can come in 2nd or 3rd or 4th position.

Wonderful set of puzzles, thoroughly enjoyed solving this round!

A well-balanced round, and each puzzle in my opinion was set at the right amount of marks for difficulty.

My favourite was the unordered distances sudoku 9x9, and I also loved the 234 outside sudoku, a variant I have tried for the first time!

Thanks, Gaurav!

Too hard for the LMI community to solve this SM round without shedding a tear.
It was very nice of Gaurav and the organizers to prepare the sudokus themed on Shaheer.

Favourites: 9x9 Toroidal, 9x9 Irregular, 6x6 Toroidal

Enjoyable and a neat set of sudokus. Thanks Gaurav!

I started with the 9x9 unordered distances and spent ~20 mins on it but couldn't solve it. So, I moved to other sudokus. It was a great set. Though I couldn't solve the unoredered distances, I really enjoyed the set. Would try the unordered distances afterwards.

It was a great initiative to dedicate the round to Shaheer. Thank you Gaurav for the great set of sudokus!

Thanks for a nice set of sudokus Gaurav.I felt that the set was mostly on the easier side and sudokus were very approachable.

I say this because I broke Unordered Distances(9*9) twice and spent about ~30-35 minutes on the same (which is not surprising as I had too much distraction here when I solved) and at one point, I had no hopes of finishing the contest.But, fortunately the other sudokus were easier.

Favourites are 234 outside(9*9) and Toroidal (9*9).
Thanks again !

I can take a mini break now from SM as I co-author the next round with Akash.
