Re: UKPA Open Sudoku and Puzzle Tournament 2018
Just to remind everyone that this year the event is at a hotel on the Purley Way and NOT at the usual venue.

Re: Puzzles at the Mind Sports Olympiad in London on Sunday
And by coincidence* I have just noticed your name in relation to a fascinating website that I have visited about a loosely-related genre of TV programmes - thank you for that too :-) * I didn't bother adding words like "weird", "strange", "remarkable" or "amazing" - even though I wanted to - because...

Re: Puzzles at the Mind Sports Olympiad in London on Sunday
As far as I am aware, 2011 was the first event of "the modern era". Detailed results are available under the Results dropdown list at http://www.msoworld.com/ . There was a Puzzle Solving event in 1998 : I don't know the format but it sounds too early and I don't recognise any of the names involved ...

This continues the UKPA sequence of winners since 2011 : Rodders, me, Mark, Mark, Neil, Neil and Tom. The result is at the Puzzle Solving section of http://www.msoworld.com/2017-medal-table/ Gold :...

Re: UK Sudoku Championship 2017 / WSC Qualification
Hi Tom. This is a comment on the PDF answer format, not the sudoku itself. Sudoku 5 (Classic Sudoku) has r4 and r6 both marked as A. I naturally assumed r4=A and r6=B (top to bottom) and my answer has been accepted.

Re: 2017 Sudoku GP
The 5th round is currently underway. I haven't attempted it yet and obviously don't intend to comment on the actual puzzles while it is underway. However if, like me, you are surprised and confused by the answer to the Unicorn puzzle in the practice paper (because of some 9s attacking other 9s a kni...

Re: Puzzles at the Mind Sports Olympiad in London on Sunday
Thanks. Absolutely - the symmetry would be far more pleasing than a lop-sided straight run of golds :-) I have mixed feelings about the Sunday : it's normally OK for me, but it does disrupt the Bank Holiday weekend. Friday could always be a pain because of clashes with meetings at work, but I found ...

Re: Puzzles at the Mind Sports Olympiad in London on Sunday
Eleven I think. Neil and I were there from UKPA but there was no sign of Mark or Rodders. Obviously a few of the MSO regulars were there (including Alain, who came third).

Re: UKSC Results and 2016 UK WSC Team
Congratulations to Heather, and to Tom, Mark and Emma. Best wishes for Slovakia later on in the year. Thank you to everyone involved in setting and running both of the sudoku contests. Maybe I should start having a look at the puzzle contests instead !

Re: UK Open Puzzle & Sudoku Tournaments
Hi. Thanks for these. Look forward to seeing you all soon. Sudoku R2 Q5. Is the additional "non-consecutive" condition a copy-and-paste typo ? The example puzzle doesn't seem to conform. Should it say something else (about the pencil marks) instead ? Sudoku R4 Q9, will the numbers between the slalom...
