  3. This is a brilliant solve and construction.Will take its place with ease in any GP.I struggled a bit though taking 14:49 on this but I solved it in the "purest" logical way and it was fun.Wonder if I could have solved it faster by guessing

    1. Thanks for the feedback Kishore. There was a logic connecting box 1,2 and 3. If u get that logic , it won't take that much of a time. Glad that u liked it.

  4. 19:22, kept on breaking this. It was difficult to keep track of digits. This variant is similar to Thermo with open bulbs, which had appeared in GM puzzles a few years back

    1. U have to pencil mark both ways and look for eliminations. There is a neat trick in the top 3 boxes which opens up the sudoku. Never thought of the similarity with thermo that you pointed out. Will try to create one without givens .
