I think you should swap r2c4-r2c5 and r8c4-r8c5, otherwise r8c3 should be grey, as Fred suggested.

For participants who are solving online in the flash format:
In puzzles like Easy as Sudoku and Minesweeper you can use an X do to identify a blank space or a mine respectively.

For participants solving by taking printouts, enter X in the solution instead of the blanks in your answer row/columns.

does the case of the X matter ('X' vs. 'x')?

The case of the 'X' does not matter.

Hi,

Thanks for nice puzzles. But there must be a problem with Word Search Sudoku. After I started the mock test I took my printouts as usual and started to solve. When I opened the puzzle book pdf file I examined Word Search Sudoku and there exists only 3 given letters. One at R6C2, one at R5C5 and one at R4C8. I quickly got stuck and couldn't succeed. But when I was submitting my answers of solved ones I noticed that for this puzzle there exists 6 more givens in the flash format. I wish I had notified this earlier (when I notified this I had only 4-5 minutes to finish test) and dealt with it in flash format. Anyway thanks again for nicely designed sudokus:)

Regards,

Zafer

@zhergan

Sorry about the error in Word Search sudoku.
I updated the Word Search Sudoku in the flash version after feedback from Rajesh that it is a little difficult to get a start in the puzzle, but forgot to update the same in the pdf version.

For all participants who are yet to particpate please take note of the update in the Word Search Sudoku Flash format.

Piratesudoku is also wrong. 3 digits are not matching with the expected answer.

This was my first time doing this and so I have a question about the scoring. Why does it only check a few lines from the solutions entered? I noticed that I actually got the domino one wrong, but my error wasn't in the line that was checked, so it was scored correctly. Also, are we supposed to only submit certain lines, or the whole solution?

Only selected rows / columns are checked. There is button "Show cells to fill". If you click on the button, it will show the cells you need to fill.

The information used to be there in earlier booklets. Looks like we need to put it back.

@ jwilsonian

There are many participants who solve the test by taking printouts of the puzzle pdfs
So to save their time required in submitting the answers we ask the participants to enter a few rows/columns.

These rows/ columns are generally chosen in a way that they are solved at the very end of the solving process, so in most cases you need to have solved the rest of the puzzle correctly to reach the correct solution digits.

You were lucky with the domino Sudoku :)

Thank you for your responses. I did solve on paper and then fill in my answers. I wish I knew about the selected rows... would have saved some time instead of filling in the whole puzzle online (although only a few minutes I suppose).

Nice Mosk Test... The puzzles were really good.

Loved Kaukro :D
Mastermind Sudoku was a good puzzle. Wasted too much time on Battleship...
Overall, it was a good Mock test :)

Hi Amit,

I liked Sudokuro the best of the lot. Classic, Kropki and Skyscraper were nice. Pirate was what pulled me down. I dont know what I was doing, took me 17mins to solve it :| I kept going wrong somewhere! Easy As Sudoku and Mastermind Sudoku was fun.

I solved Minesweeper Sudoku later and found it a very nice puzzle!

I keep going wrong while solving Paint By Numbers. I'm still not able to solve it :|

Anyway, nice mock overall! I felt 2hrs would've been a good time :-)

@All
Tejal meant 'Kropki', I dont know how she managed to type 'Kaukro'!!! Lol!

Kaukro is more similar to Kakuro (->Sudokuro) than to Kropki... :bleh:
