In the My Line quadrant, does a segment of turn could leave the quadrant ? For example, can the 2 on the last row have a segment of his turn crossing the quadrant border ?
Does crossing the border cuts the length of a segment ? For example, with the 1 near the median horizontal border, could it cross this border and still count as one segment ? (as there is only one segment IN the quadrant)
Nice puzzles anyway ! |

Yes, a segment of turns can leave the quadrant. In the example I specifically gave one such angle (in cell with "?" ). |

A doubt in 10th Puzzle Optimizer.
It says maximize the are of rectangle. So does that mean if someone has area 26*26 and other has 25*26 but later one has more empty squares.
Does still 26*26 best ?
Any 26x26 solution is better than any 25x26 solution.
Only if two solutions have the same area, then the solution with more white squares is better.
If two solutions have the same area and the same number of white squares then they will get the same score.
PS: I notice the first two answer fields for puzzle 10 are validating that M and N are between 1 and 19 only, but if you have M or N >19 then ignore the warning and submit anyway. The earlier announcement in this forum says that the warnings are not always 100% accurate. |

In Diayajilin the black cells can touch diagonally, but not orthogonally (side-to-side ).
This is the same as normal Yajilin rules, the only difference is how the number clues behave. |

Country : India | In Trid can the numbers be repeated in the diagonals. That is the bold diagonals of rectangle/sides of triangles. |

Similar question for Battleships With Line: can a row or column have a longer segment which is partially outside the quadrant, if the portion within the quadrant is below the given maximal length? |

yes you can say it is consecutive segments

In Trid can the numbers be repeated in the diagonals. That is the bold diagonals of rectangle/sides of triangles.
There are 6 small Trid puzzles, each has bold borders that are 7 circles long.
Numbers can NOT be repeated along those 7-circle borders, or any other diagonal within the same small triangle.
(it's the same idea as the Sudoku On Cube puzzle, there are 6 little puzzles with individual solutions, but they have identical digits along their common borders ) |

Yes. There is no penalty.
Your final submission for each puzzle will be considered for scoring. |

Country : Turkey | sduran posted @ 2014-04-10 1:02 AM according to diayajilin rules;
1-digit in a cell shows total number of black cells on its both diagonals
2-or shows total number of black cells on its any diagonals
for example;
digit 2 in a cell and there is 2 black cells on any of its diagonal and there is one black cell on its other diagonal. that is satisfied the rule?

In Diayajilin, if there is a digit "2" in a cell then this is the total of all black cells in both diagonals, added together.
i.e.
there is 1 black in NW-SE diagonal and 1 black in NE-SW diagonal
OR
there is 2 blacks in NW-SE diagonal and 0 blacks in NE-SW diagonal
OR
there is 0 blacks in NW-SE diagonal and 2 blacks in NE-SW diagonal
(but you can NOT have 2 blacks in NW-SE diagonal and 1 black in NE-SW diagonal )

For 'Roman OX', I thought it was possible to use 'X' AND 'O' inside the grid, but the submission page specifies to use only 'X' and '-' ? |
