We have prepared the inquiry to find out which date of the Sudokucup 6 is the most suitable for you.
The author of most puzzles is Honza Krtek Novotný, with a small assistance of Karel Tesař.
Because summer months are usually devoted to holidays, we've decided to make two competitions. There will be different sets of puzzles, but the type of them will be the same. It means you can take part either in one or in both SC6 competitions in one of the dates mentioned below.

You can find the inquiry here:
[sudokucup.com]

We're looking forward to you!

This is the best USPC-like contest you will ever find, and essential practice
if you want to do well in the upcoming official US Puzzle Championship!

The contest has been organised for this weekend (1-3 July), and is being hosted by the UK Puzzle Association.

Instruction booklet available from the contest page:
[www.ukpuzzles.org]

"Puzzle Cruise is designed to be a simulation of a typical USPC test,
which means you can be sure to expect a splashing variety of puzzles
ranging from logic to visual. There will be 20 puzzles and you will
have 2 and a half hours to fish out as many correct answers as you can."

Tell your puzzling friends now!
