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.

Regards,
Ravi

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?

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.

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.

I thought Palmer's Statue Park was particularly nicely constructed, both because of the repeating structure (with different solutions in each occurence) and the way the pentominos sort of paired off neatly as the solve progressed until you had two matching pairs to place in the middle.

The mini-coral had very nice logic once I got the hang of it, but it took me longer than it should because I was teaching myself to solve it as I went. Still, once I grokked the more Fillomino like aspects it was lots of fun.

Detuned's Heyawake was beautiful but deadly. Spent a very very long time just figuring out a really good break-in, but once I got some momentum it was a fun solve.

Finally done with all, Last one was Statue Park for me , did messed up at last but solving to fit two T's and X's was awesome at the end.
Luckily got the bonus.
Overall All were beautiful puzzles, Thanks to all authors.
Could have grabbed bonus even though little in all of the puzzles but, the puzzles like Turning Fences, Heyawake with small mistake tracing back was huge problem.
Scrabble too made a mistake but recovered fast but not enough to grab time bonus.
I really enjoy the marathon, hoping for 10 on 10 again next year :)

Little more than a day left, as I type this, for Marathon to end. See the submission page, just above the puzzles, for exact timing in your timezone.



Given that the score page has been displaying partial scores, you rank will take a (huge) dip if you have not completed at least 8 puzzles.

I think a few of the puzzles could have been easier. While the puzzles as they are will differentiate between the top solvers, the solvers around #50-60 have too many that take over an hour.

The equal points per minute scoring system for all puzzles regardless of difficulty seems a little skewed.
