Nice puzzles.
Yajilin went good, cave was bit bad, did silly counting mistake and then got stuck for couple of minutes on 6th puzzle and then found trick.
Both Exploratory parts were new and nice idea.
Best puzzle combining both i would say 6th puzzle of CAVE. :)

Enjoyed the contest a lot. I agree Cave 6 was very nice. It looks like the same category bonuses have been used for the Yajilin as for the Cave despite the instruction booklet stating that different category bonuses would apply?

Coincidence that the same one fit this time :) Glad you enjoyed the contest.

Is the 6th cave really suitable for a beginner? It's definitely a beautiful construction, though.

I really liked the cave exploration puzzles for their instructional value, for exposing it to beginners how some advance solvers handle cave puzzles.

Can the puzzle be solved online or do we have to print out the puzzles ?

All "Puzzle" contests (with the exception of CTC) are NOT available online. You either solve on paper or with image editor.

It is only "Sudoku" tests where online solving is available, unless announced otherwise.

Hi, thanks for the competition, but my printer is not suitable for grids without framed borders. Everything what was printed were the numbers :(
Is it possible to discard my participation in Caves? Thanks in advance.

Dear puzzle-friends,

I wanted to start my first (Beginners) contest here on LMI. Thanks to my very good friend Richard Stolk :-)
But it seems the pdf-file needs a password?

Can somebody tell me what the passwords are?

Looking forward to your earliest reply!

Yes in Cave the borders were very light. I have to redraw the border and solve. Borders should be darker and thick.

Please can you extend the date of submission of August Beginner's Sudoku Contest by another day ? I participate regularly but this time, the net was down for nearabout a week and was set right just today. Please.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to extend now. The passwords have been public for a while now.
