Is there any penalty for wrong submissions ??
As I know from the earlier contests, there are no penalties.
Your goal is to find the best solution and you will get some points. If your solution does not fulfit the rules, you will get 0 points. Or not? |

Generally in this type, they are not allowed to touch by a side or corner. Confirmation from Riad : Para is correct. Clouds are not allowed touch each other, even at a point. |

a) Is the belt an open path or a loop?

Does it mean that length and width both should be > 1, or the area should be > 1? |

Country : United States | For Visibility, the answer key shows the "1 or 2 digits" warning when you have two digits entered. Entering a single digit causes the warning to disappear. (Still lets you submit, regardless.) |

Part of the puzzle is to figure out how it has to go.
The total of mines is given. It's the only place the 4th mine can go. |
