Oh, very sorry, somehow I thought they were always restricted. You don't need to be. It is my responsibility to make the thread restricted, but I didn't do it since I didn't know how to do it. There are 2 ongoing tests with two different set of players having access to the threads. Luckily Prasanna gave a simple solution that we can make both the threads restricted and players finishing both the tests should have access.
So the thread is restricted now, with the above condition. |

Nice sprint format to end TVC. I thought I wouldn't finish there. I don't feel comfortable as much with Filler and I was completely (and needlessly) stuck on the bottom Tapa Tapa. All of the puzzles were excellent. I did use a little intuition on the bottom Toroidal. Considering this was a TVC with a lot of variants I'm not comfortable with, I'm happy to have finished, albeit in penalty time.

Country : India | Looking back at the penalty, I'll probably be losing quite a lot of points for submitting that last puzzle because of the penalty time. I hope there's some provision for the submissions that cause the score to drop to not get counted  |

Country : United States | Curious about the scoring on this one. The score page for me is just showing every puzzle as being worth one point. Is that what we're going with, or will the point values in the score page be updated at some point? Or am I having a technical issue? |

I thought it might be temporary to keep the final results of the TVC hidden till the test is over. |
