Location: The Netherlands		Thanks Deb, that was fun. Even though I made 2 mistakes.

My mistake for puzzle #2 was really dumb though and a bit miraculous. I determined the right rules quickly with the {45} pair in R12C1. Except somehow I continued solving with the opposite rule. And the puzzle also solves uniquely with that rule besides of course that {45} pair. I'm not sure if you were aware of this occurence, but it was somewhat a shocker to find out i got it wrong, till I realised what had happened. then it was more amazement that the puzzle still solved that way.

Location: India		It was such an easy puzzle, but you and aldentea submitted identical wrong solutions. Both being top players, I kept wondering what could be the problem, but never figured out.
No, I didn't know that it can be solved the other way except that 4/5 pair.

That is just the same as what happened on me!
I'm glad that there exists another player who made such a CRAZY mistake.

It should have been worse for you if this "special rule" sudoku had been more difficult. I solve it with this "special rule" and I think the difficulty is roughly the same as the one with original rule.

Location: France		Thanks Deb, this was really good and, in particular, extremely fun.

A fifth place is rather satisfying considering the number of stupidities I made - and will really have to avoid in one month :

1) trying to solve the Touchy as an Untouch,
2) not noticing that the "2" clue was not the only one on the Skyscraper,
3) spending 30' on the last puzzle ! I guess I was just a bit stressed after having solved the first 11 in less than an hour because I tried it again this morning, and it went well. Stupid.

Puzzles were very nice, including this last one, and really affordable.

Thanks again, and congrats to the toppers !

So, in short, are you trying to say "I missed an easy opportunity to be on the podium"?
Congrats on your best LMI Monthly Test performance

Location: France		Well, you never know, perhaps the top 4 players lost even more time than I did. But indeed I missed an opportunity to do a really good perf in terms of position as well as of timing (I tried again the last puzzle a few days later, and solved it quite easily). Still, 5th is not bad and since a few months I do less mistakes than I used to, so the tendancy remains positive. Thanks and congrats to you too for a good perf !
