Re: croco-puzzle
According to Hideaki, this may well be a Japanese solver of his knowledge; very skilled, but who doesn't participate in LMI tests and such competitions... Good for us.

Re: croco-puzzle
I could have said the same. In fact, on Gebietssummen and Sudoku puzzles I never put more than 2 pencil marks per cell (always using the command "-") since using the # thing takes me just too much time.

Re: 4 Seasons Cup Summer Test - The beach
If I know anything for sure, David, it is that you do not have to apologize for this ! The only one to blame here is me, who drawed the puzzles too fast (the original puzzle by Geoffroy was alright). So, sorry about this and I hope you had fun on the test anyway. By the way, the results are availabl...

Re: 4 Seasons Cup Summer Test - The beach
A mistake has been spotted on puzzle 8 - Kropki sudoku. A black dot is missing between R5C3 and R5C4. An actualised version of the file has been uploaded; please download the puzzle booklet again if you had already downloaded it.

Perfect. So, 00:00 Friday, French summertime (UTC +2). Just to be sure : it means little more than 2 hours to wait.

Re: 4 Seasons Cup Summer Test - The beach
I never know how to express clearly midnight in english, and it led to some misunderstanding last time. Considering what I have learned, I am tempted to say "Thursday 12:00 AM" but I wouldn't bet on it. I guess "midnight between thursday and friday" is ok...

Re: Sprint Test — LMI September Puzzle Test — 3rd and 4th Se
First, sorry for the very late answer; Sprint Test wasn't even finished that I had to travel to the other side of France to organize a paper sudoku tournament - now done - and I now have an online one to finalize before this week-end. So, very few time left for the after-Sprint Test. It was an excel...

Re: US Puzzle Championship (27 Aug 2011 1pm ET)
From 190 to 175 since the masyu is lost for me...
First USPC for me. Overall, several excellent puzzles but also some that I am really not a fan of (of their types, at least). Still a good competition, all in all.

190 max, since I just realized that I had screwed up the... classic sudoku. :roll: Provided that I did not make any other mistake or typo, which is anything but sure. Some very nice puzzles : Kaku rogue was very good; so good, in fact, that I did it 4 times. The Tapa was a typical Serkan tapa - fant...

Fun to see my "baby" No Donkey Step Sudoku appearing here. It has encountered some success since its creation last year and I didn't expect it. Unfortunately I will not be able to participate, but I would have liked to. But I cannot help to find a bit strange the presence of a Skyscraper, a Calcudok...

I will have to "wake up" at 4:00AM (more probably, I will not sleep at all tonight) so that I can take my first flight in Marseille, which will arrive at London Gatwick; then, change to Heathrow...

Look forward to seeing you all.
By the way, Tom, I wanted to ask you but completely forgot : when are you departing ? I depart from London Heathrow tomorrow at 16:45 (flight 39). It would be fun if we were on the same flight !
