Considering your suggestions, I have redrawn the 12 X 12 Sudoku so that the twelve rectangles are now visible. The question remains the same:
Can someone construct a 12 X 12 Sudoku with the following rules?
Choose any number on the grid, e.g. A. Then count six numbers horizontally and vertically...
The chef ask each of the 4 judges to make
one single slice on the whole round cake,
so they'll all have a 1/5th piece to take.
How the judges do it for fairness sake?
I was taking the test in the following link:

But I am not really sure what is the answer and the logic behind them in the following questions:
Do you have any idea on how to solve this?
Mithrandir's "haiku" / Counts syllables correctly / But where's the season?
Good Rubio, your couplets rhyme for sure / But I'd intended something rather more: / Blank verse, with five iambic feet per line. / Milton and Shakespeare thought it rather fine.
I like the idea of doing something like ET in CULT = CULETT but while there's a word "culet" it doesn't seem to be spellable with a double T and doesn't mean slate in any of that word's senses
I wonder whether there's some much cleverer parsing of the clue that I'm just blind to.
The fact that there are so many common letters between the words of the clue is suggestive (but I think probably coincidence).
@Rand Well whilst your pals are all away, / I still remain with this to say. / At times where night has reached the Lair, / in this dank air to speak we dare.
oh, I thought of yet another parsing, though I think this one is quite improper as well as highly implausible: the def could be "in" and the wordplay could have sect eating slate.
if you're using "in" as not an indicator, then it could as well be "ins" and "ECT" or "SL" and "ate". I should add that I doubt any of these is likely.
Or -- here's one -- it could be an insect containing S, with def "late".
Well, "to eat" and the possessive can be synonyms in cryptic clues, both referring to containment (A has B, A eats B), so: in SECT is ate=HIS yields SCHIST, from which the E ran away because it was scared of being stung by the insect. Another beautiful CCCC solution brought to you by yours truly.
The digits from 1 to 9 can be arranged in a row, such that any two
neighbouring digits in this row is the product of two one-digit numbers.
Arrangement:
Is it possible to do such an arrangement using hexadecimal digits 1-9 and A-F?
Here the row has 15 digits and all numbers are treated as h...
@GarethMcCaughan Perhaps not. But perhaps the unusual combination of words (not, perhaps, as unusual as PD usually is, but still unusual) plus the "?" were considered by the setter to suffice?
"printer's devilry", an unorthodox sort of clue where the clue has had a word removed (and possibly spaces, punctuation, etc., rearranged) and the solution is the word that was removed
e.g., an old one from a Torquemada crossword many years ago: "Since he split tracts, Mrs Amin" has had ANTHERIDIA removed from "Since he's pliant, her Idi attracts Mrs Amin".
The "original" is generally meant to make more sense than the modified version that forms the actual clue.
you'll never (I hope) see one of these slipped in among the ordinary cryptic clues in e.g. a newspaper crossword, but sometimes you get a whole crossword made out of them, or one where (say) 15 of the clues are PD rather than ordinary clues and the solver has to figure out which ones

How do you make 29 with only using the numbers 1 2 3 4?
I have tried a lot of solutions and please remember that you can't use the number 5
