UK Puzzle Association

I sent off for a copy of issue 74 of this magazine a couple of weeks ago just to have a look at what it was like due to the lack of decent puzzle magazines over here (Gareth's Sudoku Xtra excepted of course!) and it arrived in the post today. I've only done a couple of the puzzles so far but am sure...

Just in answer to your musings Puzzlescot I actually learned about the indian mock tests via Rohan Rao's blogspot whilst browsing the internet some time ago looking for different sudoku variants after getting bored with classical sudoku. I am never going to be challenging for the top spots, being fa...

Many thanks to Tom for the puzzles. The ones I managed to do were fantastic. Really loved the Killer, thought that was the best from the test and possibly the most enjoyable one I've ever completed! The Sudoku Islands puzzle was also ace but a stupid transposition error on my answer cost me. Certai...

I'm one of the 40 people who registered but didn't post up any results - mainly due to technical problems presumably connected with my own printer. I pressed 'Start' and got the pdf file up, but when I went to print it, all that came out of my printer was a jumble of numbers. I cancelled the printin...

And best of luck from me too - great to have news of the competition as it progresses!

I got 285 (would have been 300 if it hadn't been for a submission error) but I was fairly pleased with that (my only way is up!). I just completed the easy section but got some satisfaction from completing all ten of them correctly and so qualifying for the full bonus despite my one submission error...

I've just had a look at this site (my curiosity was aroused because 30 years ago I got a degree in german and so I was as much interested in seeing how much german I could still understand as in the puzzles themselves!). My understanding is that Überraschungsrätsel translates as 'surprise puzzle' - ...

Thanks for the welcome - just wish my puzzling performance was as good as the other Chris's! Actually I am a Christine (Gareth will recognise that name from his Sudoku Xtra forum as I have ben posting there since it began - a fabulous magazine for anyone who hasn't yet tried it- and before that on t...

Thanks for the reply - i have done as you suggested and asked the administrators if i could have the points (worth a try anyway!) The jigsaw sudoku I almost had, just ran out of time (although the end bit was getting quite difficult). I'd like to think I might get the other sudoku variants given ple...

I almost feel as though I am gate crashing this forum as I am by no means (or ever will be) a puzzle expert, but I am a very enthusiastic amateur just looking to continually improve my puzzling skills within my own capabilities. With this in mind I have entered a couple of online competitions on the...
