I can only see the few I completed.

All results are now available. It was supposed to be available immediately after the contest ended, like all other LMI contests. But a bug had crept in.

The link, as usual, is : http://logicmastersindia.com/2014/02P/score.asp

I really liked Turning fences and sudokus. The worst part for me was scrabble (because I hate word puzzles) and solution code for Araf (but the puzzle itself was really nice).

About answer key of Araf : We did have alternate thoughts about it. But we stuck to this because 1) we used the same answer key last year (without any complaints) 2) if the answer key is computationally extensive, it is same for all.

I know it's hard to coordinate difficulty with ten different puzzle makers. But I still think that a "best 8 out of 10" approach doesn't work well with such a big spread on difficulty.

However, this small scoring problems are outweighted by far by the original nature of the contest, which is a highlight of the puzzle year every time. I really enjoyed the puzzles!

Really nice puzzles. While I didn't have time to do some of the puzzles (i.e. Araf, Mini Coral, Turning Fences), the other 7 I did were really elegant.

I wonder if a couple of days more were given, would the results have been better, but then again, I doubt most people are as busy (and slow) as me in solving...

Hey !

I hope it's not too hard to read my puzzle.
Is someone could give me a nudge, that would be cool.

You should be able to determine that the arrowed cell is 2. Otherwise, the 2 on its left remain isolated. After that the whole left region solves easily. (There are other openings, but this is how I solved.)
