UK Puzzle Association

It is very difficult to make our contest engine as featured and smooth as the LMI version, of which I am in complete admiration! Hi Alan, I was in no way trying to compare any system and your answer assures me that I am where I should be on the points table :) The site and the system worked wonderf...

I am not the best in the world... If you want to beat someone aim for beating the best in the world

First of all Congrats to Kota for winning it handsomely and to David for winning the UK Championship. The test was really good. I know a lot of people might think it to be very easy but I would like to say that when you are creating a contest with a dual purpose(WPF GP and the UK Championship), I th...

...and the winner is... Nikola Zivanovic (Serbia) Final results table is available. http://www.ukpuzzles.org/final-results.php?contestid=3 Due to the lack of clear answer key instructions for ChessDoku, I have manually given the points to all answers where it is clear that the puzzle was solved cor...

Thanks Tom...

little typo in one of my code (moreover, it is a grid on which I spent a lot of time because I restarted it after a mistake ).

Thanks Fred...

Hi. I have just finished the sudoku mania competition. I did not know how to write the answers in chessdoku. I also did not find anything about it in instruction booklet. I decided to write K for King, Q for Queen and C for Knight. The system counted it as an error. Could you help me? Thanks. And b...

Would have loved to see u compete David, its a pity you wont be there.

I can't say how janoslaw would do these days, since he hasn't competed in a long time (Sudoku Cup 4 was the last and only sudoku test we both took I think?). I know he got very busy with WPC work, but I imagine when he comes back he will be a close rival again. I'm also at least 20% faster at home ...

It looks fun ! I'll definitely participate ! In fact, i'm afraid because my result on the last test on this site was not good and the same with last test written by Rishi... So, a test written by Rishi on this site.... hope it will not be a slump for me :mrgreen: Fred, you making my puzzles sound l...

Are the instructions for sequence sudoku correct? It says numbers on chains must be in arithmetic progression. Is that right? That means with a constant difference between them. If that is what it means shouldn't that be made a bit more explicit? Gareth, You are right... there has to be a constant ...

I've churned out the puzzle logically now Rishi, although thanks for the link. There's lots of stuff with how the anti-knight constraint plays with the diagonal, but it was by no means quick solving at all. I can't imagine anyone - even Thomas - got that out in time without having to guess though. ...

A few more comments I'd like to make: - I thought the size of the printed puzzles was a bit small, especially so with the killers where some of the cages I had to double check on screen. - I should really not do the puzzles in order - clearing up the first half quickly meant that when I got stuck o...

David.

Thanks David.

Lovely test Rishi, thanks a lot!

Thanks Tom

Looks like David had an off day.
