It was a very nice test. I mean very very nice. Also I overally like pentomino puzzles, so I really enjoyed them. There was right amount of puzzles - I didn't expect to finish anyway, so - it's perfect. Actually I didn't practice too for it, so no big expectations.
There was a small thing with the points distribution, but I take that as my personal opinion and skills - so, also it was nicely done.
And there were some very enjoyable ones too.

Big thanks.

Key component of this test being enjoyable was that reflections were always allowed. I hate checking for that. Thanks for the test!

I have been a big fan of pentominos since I met the pentomino puzzle at elementary school. Though I could not manage Sums and Loops in time, it was really fun solving those puzzles again - with lots and lots of new types of them!

Thanks Richard. That was fun. And I'm not even the last player to do the test (to my own surprise).

The score page does not handle partial points for Word Search (yet). We will be fixing that soon.

Pento Parade is over. About 170 participants is not bad with such a specific subject in all puzzles. Also, it was a quite innovative set with mainly puzzle types that are not broad available.

So: a big 'thank you!' from my side to all players for taking part!

Congratulations to the fastest players among you: EKBM, MellowMelon and uvo did a great job! My own expectation was that the winner should need between 90 and 95 minutes, so I was really surprised to see EKBM topping that expectation with almost 20 minutes. Incredible and well done!
