Posts: 315 ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : The Netherlands | Para posted @ 2014-05-18 2:15 PM rajeshk - 2014-05-18 2:06 PM Nice set of puzzles. Looking forward to it. I could not understand fully Torodial Slitherlinks. e.g. Where top left corner end is wrapping around? and how we are able to complete the loop? It wraps around both ways. So the left most column of dots and the right most column of dots are really the same column. The same goes for the top most row of dots and the bottom most row of dots. From this we can also get that all corner dots are really the same dot. |

For some of the base types, me and Swaroop had collaborated for a practice set last year with some basic solving tips, which can be seen here - http://prasannaseshadri.wordpress.com/2013/07/03/ipc-preview-practi... TomTom and Coded TomTom were both in IPC 2012, which is linked to in the opening post. If others know more helpful links, feel free to post. |

It will be counted as empty as clear from example (count numbers for 6 in example to understand and clear your doubt). |

Other than this, there's no change. |
