Country : Thailand | tamz29 posted @ 2014-02-25 11:25 PM A little question about scoring.
Only the best 8 results count right?
So it is out of 400 plus bonus points.
Which means person A solves 8 puzzles no bonus = 400 points
and person B solves 10 puzzles no bonus = also 400 points
Am I right? |

Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to all the setters and for these puzzles and to all at LMI for this marathon. As usual, I made some silly mistakes. |

You have entered bottom-to-top. We mentioned top-to-bottom (and left-to-right ).
In any case we have accepted your answer. |

Flunked the two 'hard' puzzles. Personally I thought Mini Coral was at least a medium due to its unfamiliarity and the puzzle itself being quite difficult. Edited by tamz29 2014-02-26 11:10 PM

Great marathon, thanks to everyone involved! It's really hard to pick favourites. The Heyawake was too hard for me, but that's fine. I still need to solve that one properly. And apparently, I need to practice Kakuro. If there's anything to criticize, I felt the dots on the Turning Fences were so large that it was a little hard to mark them for turn vs. no turn, and that some puzzles used a little more of an A4 page than my printer can deal with. |

I created all the pdfs after receiving image files from authors, so sorry about any printing issues.
I think I just reused last year's templates, but it looks like I should be having more margin around the page than what we had. |

On the other hand, small dots and Paint users can't flood fill the dots easily... |

where can I get the password Hi, Select the puzzle you want to start and scroll down a little (or more depending on your screen size ), where you will find the puzzle name you have selected along with a button for starting it. Once you click on the button the password will be shown and the timer will start for that puzzle. See attached image for better clarity.

Country : United Kingdom | Thanks to all the authors - wonderful, beautiful set of puzzles :)
I have some 'w's against my scores (Not that it matters for position, just pride), which I presume means 'wrong'. However, I believe I never entered a wrong answer. Why is this?

Country : Germany | rob posted @ 2014-03-01 12:49 AM You should have (up to) two 'w's, which mark the two puzzles that don't factor in to your final score, because they're weakest/worst/whatever. |

Country : India | Turning Fences was nice. The tutorial was very helpful.
But needs lot of concentration.
one mistake in finding which dot is turning or not turning and any where if you draw line without justification you are at the dead end. I felt Tracing back mistake is very difficulty in this type so had to start over all again :(
But yes one more type added to my favorite list.
