7 Standard Puzzles. All in Samurai form.


I guess players need to just tweak their solving styles fractionately to tune themselves into the Samurai grid.

Great puzzles. Some tough ones, but all enjoyable. I think the Yin Yang Samurai was exceptionally good, just so crisp and beautiful (if you know how to solve!). I enjoyed solving Star Battle and Easy As ABC, but the Fence was too tough.

Congrats to Hideaki Jo for topping. A good weekend for him as he topped Sudokucup 8 too.

A lot of new puzzle types (probably all?) in this test. Many of you may not be familiar/comfortable with some of the puzzles, so below are some practise puzzles (apart from the puzzles in the IB) created by some of my puzzle friends.

Bram De Laat's Practise Puzzles 1

Swaroop Guggilam's Practise Puzzles 1

It is worth trying out some of these puzzles, it would only help in you being better prepared for the test.

The No Numbers Loop looks like a tough one (especially considering its high points). Synchronized Maze and Trio Cut are my favourite of the set.

Good Luck to all participants!

Another new dimension to LMI! A fast-paced test where every second counts. Puzzles were excellent. Full credit to Bastien for this fantastic set.
You make one error, and you lose chunks of relative time. Its quite disappointing that I wasn't able to finish all the 15 puzzles, especially when there are players who do it in half your time.
Congrats to Palmer and Thomas (I guess you'll are continuing the battle here too) and the Japanese for their excellent results.

This is the second set of Nikoli Selection on LMI. Tom Collyer had authored Nikoli Selection 1 in October 2010.
You will find lots of practise puzzles on Tom Collyer's Blog 'Detuned Radio'

This test will be very similar to the previous one with the format and puzzles the same. Hopefully, it will be a better than last time :-)
Looking forward to this test and good luck to all participants!

After
Very nice set of puzzles! Enjoyed every one of them.
Slitherlink and Kakuro were well-constructed, I lost a little time in these two puzzles.
Hitori and Sudoku were easy.
Nurikabe is a puzzle that I struggle in very often, but this time, I got it fairly quick. I guess I'm making some progress.
Numberlink is always fun.
Suraromu! The exclamation says it all! This is my choice of the best puzzle of the set. Brilliantly thought and beautifully executed, perfect for a Suraromu puzzle. Being a little experienced, I quickly realised how the top-left corner would be with straight lines and the rest just followed.
This is the first time I solved a Yajilin puzzle in a contest!
Fillomino was tricky while Akari was simple.
Masyu was the puzzle that realised snatched my chances of finishing all the 16 main puzzles. I dont know how I went wrong, but I had to erase thrice.
Ripple Effect is very enjoyable to me, I like the concept a lot.
Hashi and Rectangles were both tricky, and had some nice solving steps.

I'll solve the marathon puzzles on another lazy Sunday evening.
Overall, a good contest, with some really good puzzles.

Congrats to Hideaki Jo, who finished all the 16 main puzzles and the 3 marathon puzzles! With WPC coming soon, players have already started to make a mark!

Every puzzle has a twist! Very interesting puzzle instructions. I'm looking forward to this test after a below par performance in Hybrids and Zoo.

The new timing structure is a nice idea. It will motivate and give a chance for more players to solve all the puzzles and complete the set. Maybe this is a start to a new trend :-)

L&M&I and Toroidal Rectangles is my pick of the set. Rectangles look scary to me, but they have very few points compared to others, so I guess they would be easy. Well, I hope so.

Good luck to all participants!

After
What a test! Absolutely fantastic set of puzzles. One of the most beautiful puzzle sets I've ever solved. The test reminded me a lot of Evergreens1 and Evergreens2, yet it had its own essence, so beautifully stuffed into the puzzles.

Skyscrapers were excellents.
Toroidal Rectangles was my weak point and it just proved to be the case. I just couldn't get through the big one, though it was my blind eye that missed an easy opening.
2-Loop Masyu was beautiful. I especially liked the small one. I started solving these using the standard rules, and when I thought I was done, I realised my solution had just one loop! I had to search for a place where I could 'open' the loop and 'close' it the other way. This puzzle made my spirits go high.
Light Up was nice. The small one used the concept of 'put as many' while the big one was a 'fit these'.
Minesweeper was average. I made a silly mistake in the small one and the big one could have definitely been better, since 40% of the grid solves without using the 'twisted' rule.
Fence and Hitori were fun.
L&M&I was my favourite puzzle of the set. The concept was nice but the execution was perfect. Both the grids were of top quality.
Double Easy as ABCD and Arrows weren't my favourite. I scraped through the Double but couldn't crack either of the Arrows.
Missing Breakpoints was undoubtedly the toughest puzzle of the set. Just 6 players solved it correctly.
No 3 Consecutive Sudoku was easy according to me. Maybe cause I'm more sudoku-friendly :-)

Congrats to Deb Mohanty for such a great set of puzzles. Congrats to Thomas for an exceptional performance! And some applause for me. My first top-10 finish in an LMI Puzzle Test! It feels nice to be at the top, at least occassionally :-) I'm dreaming of a top 3 some day...
