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.

Hey, look, a player with nickname "jano..." and very fast at sudokus. I wonder who this can be...

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.

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...

The tournament has started. From now, you have exactly 72 hours to start. Good luck to all contestants !

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

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...

Change : the contest will start on 16 and not 17, to accomodate more players. The puzzle booklet will be uploaded soon.

Hello UKpuzzlers, I am here to announce the coming of the third round of the 4 Seasons Cup, hosted by ffsudoku.com. The test will be organized by Geoffroy Hermelin , aka wikmouic , and will be made of 12 sudoku variants to solve within 120 minutes. The theme of the test is "relations between neighbo...

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...

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...

I could participate using the czech version of the answering form, and everything went fine this way. Nice puzzles, I encourage you to give them a try.

The site is available again. No announcement about the problem yet, so I advise you to be careful - maybe wait a bit before you start.

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...

It worked for me. Thanks Tom, nice pictures ; but thank you especially for the video ! I made one too, but the sound is deplorable and anyway I could not get the first seconds. Definitely, this song is promised to become the hymn of all sudokas. I also took a few photos, not as many as you, but I wi...

First news from the Eastern front. Jan M. and Thomas S. leading after the first two rounds - the third one has being played but we do not know the results yet. Beautiful puzzles, impressive organisation, and strong competition for getting access to the semi-final. Czech and japanese players are doin...

So do I... 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... And finally, direct to Beijing. I guess I will be one of the first players to arrive (9:30A...

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 !

Masyu I would replace At a white circle, the loop should travel straight through and make a 90° turn in the cell immediately before or after. by At a white circle, the loop should travel straight through and make a 90° turn in the cell immediately before or after, or both. Otherwise, if I am right,...

I have a question which may seem stupid, but I am not familiar with this kind of event. It is said "All the fees will cover accommodation, airport transport and any organised tours." Does "accomodation" include meals ? More generally, does the participation fee cover everything we could need, or sho...
