4th 2nd place! Well done Neil!

(Edit: Oops! apologies Neil. That's fantastic!)

You can but grip matting online, or even at some supermarkets. Not that expensive, and might help.

There's plenty practice material here for you.
Perhaps head to the contests tab on the main site, and try the old UK sudoku (and puzzle!) championships.

Yes, hope to see you, and many more new puzzlers, at the 2019 Open events!

Lunch break. No results yet...

Thanks Chris.

3rd round is in progress right now.
I will post updates as and when we get them

Hi Gav, Sorry to see nobody has replied to you yet... First, welcome! If you are prepared to challenge yourself, and start exploring the myriad of puzzle types in existence, then a very good starting point would be past competitions, perhaps search for 'beginners' so as not to be too overwhelmed at ...

The puzzles are all mathematical. Usually quite enjoyable to solve. My only gripe is the answers are never published. There is an explanation on the site of why this is so. Regardless of having the solutions public (which contestants *could* do, if they wanted, after the contest), you can't work out...

The Finnish snake, I managed to rule out a few squares on the corners of the diagonally adjacent givens. Then it broke. What does the finished snake look like?

Can you find similar document for Sudoku competitions?

I think the full results of all WSC championships (along with all WPCs since 2010) are in the WPF newsletters on the WPF site.

A warm welcome Dave

I hope you find something of interest here.

See you again soon
Alan

is there a handy list of places to look We do try to list competitions as they are happening, but there are so many, and lots are regular events... Better to bookmark the regular hosts - Germany ( LMD ), India ( LMI ), WPF ( Grands Prix ) and many others, and schedule your own rota. Look in the 'Pu...

Sam, A very warm welcome to you :) Nice to see a lurker step out of the shadows. I'm sure there are more there, that will hopefully follow your 'brave' step. There are a huge number of sudoku (and logic puzzle) competitions running all the time, for you to enjoy and, if you wish, hone your competiti...

Round 3 (Denmark) this weekend...

I've decided not to renew the domain, so it has now expired.

However, the site is still available at http://ukpuzzles.org/uk2014.org/ ... and will remain there "for ever"

Yeah, that sounds like a good target market for garnering interest, thanks Chris.

Dang. I was fully intending coming this year.

However, it's right in the middle of exam season.

Hopefully next year...

Yay. I see it's a single paper this year. cool.

So I have the IB now, but just remembered my printer is knackered. (the drum needs replacing). groan...

I was disappointed to miss it. An email a day or two before the event would have been a nice reminder.

From here : "... due to technical and administrative issues it is becoming increasingly impossible to be able to continue operating nikoli.com" "For the future, and already in the works, Nikoli is developing a new puzzle site to replace nikoli.com. We will release information about the new site here...

Count me in!
