I'll be good and not vote for my own puzzle. Nanro was really fun. I had never seen it before this contest. Would love to see solve some more. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 42 ![]() ![]() Country : United States | PuzzleScott posted @ 2013-03-05 8:42 AM My correct nanro submission was rejected because of lower case x instead of upper case. Really??? Please fix this. I was over 60 minutes, so presumably no effect on my score. | ||||||||||||||||||

There are many entries in Star Battle puzzle with lower case. Also there is exactly 1 submission from you for Nanro which is marked correct.My correct nanro submission was rejected because of lower case x instead of upper case. Really??? Please fix this. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 419 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : India | kishy72 posted @ 2013-03-05 11:08 PM I am not clear about the rules in a Gapped Kakuro I have got broken thrice and losing my mental stamina .. Makes me think that i m not sure that i understand completely the rules. * Can there be numbers which are not part of the sums (of any clues which are given at the top or the left) * Can a number which is a part of the sum of the clue given at the left be immediately under a black shaded cell or should that cell be Xed out ?? * Is there any other restriction other than the no number repeating in a sum and no blank cells adjacent rule? | ||||||||||||||||||

You are over thinking things. There's no other restriction. Numbers can come in cells not covered by any sums too, following the 1-9 ruling. For the 2nd question, if I understand it right, there's no restriction on being immediately under or on any side of a black cell, just go by the sums on whether or not something needs to be Xed out or filled by a number. | ||||||||||||||||||

Thanks. That's actually why it's formulated as the highest amount and not the maximum amount. I figured highest would imply it always appears. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 42 ![]() ![]() Country : United States | PuzzleScott posted @ 2013-03-06 2:59 AM I just reported what happened. I used 'x' in my first nanro submission. It was rejected as wrong. I then changed all 'x's to 'X's and resubmitted. That was accepted. I later used 'x' in gap kakuro and it worked fine. Might different puzzles parse it differently? I agree 'x' should always work for 'X'. That's why I reported it. I don't have the info to know if this was a fluke or a (nanro only?) bug. | ||||||||||||||||||

I even tried to run up the clock with bad submissions, but the clock didn't jump. | ||||||||||||||||||

Just refresh the submission page. We'll probably add a "Skip" button next time | ||||||||||||||||||
