Long time no post. Same excuse as last time around. With this year’s puzzle GP starting this weekend with the Serbian round, some preview puzzles are in the queue. For now, I’ll link to a couple of my puzzles that were published elsewhere: A Fractional Skyscrapers and a Checkered Fillomino on Grandmaster Puzzles. An Aquarium puzzle (Java applet, low […]Posted in Puzzles

Link to original post : Puzzle 52: Shikaku knapp daneben
One of the non-standard puzzle types in the Serbian Grand Prix round is Shikaku with clues that are off by one (as “Shikaku Liars”). Here’s a practice puzzle. Rules Split the grid into rectangles composed of grid cells, containing one clue each, such that the size of each rectangle is equal to the corresponding clue ±1.

Here’s a practice puzzle for the other non-standard type on the Serbian GP this weekend, “Slitherlink Out-Liars” as they call it. I’m not too sure this one is representative of the type; certainly it feels different than the others I’ve solved. Rules Draw a single loop that doesn’t touch or cross itself by connecting dots horizontally and vertically. […]Posted in Puzzles, außen-knapp-daneben, hard, practice, slitherlink, variant

Link to original post : Puzzle 54: Lakes
The next GP round is coming up the weekend after next; this time it’s Slovakia’s turn. I’m very much looking forward fo this, after a great first round by Serbia. In that contest, I was particularly impressed by the Fillominos, which didn’t seem like they should turn out unique. It’s a bit early to judge […]Posted in Puzzles, lakes, medium, practice

Here’s another GP preview puzzle. It’s a bit degenerate, but maybe it’s still useful? For this type, there’s a bit more material out there: in the Mixed Bag round of the UK Open 2013 in Matej Uher’s contribution to last year’s 24h puzzle championship a masterpiece by @pronter on twitter Rules Place digits from 1 […]Posted in Puzzles, easy, preview, slovak sums

Some more Slovak Sums, see the previous one for the rules. This one is certainly more difficult.Posted in Puzzles, hard, practice, slovak sums

The online qualification tournament for this year’s German Logic Masters is taking place next weekend, authored by Silke Berendes and me. It’s open as a contest to everybody. Let us know on the forum if anything’s unclear in the instruction booklet (the English version hasn’t been proof-read extensively). Here’s a Double Back puzzle that didn’t make the […]Posted in Puzzles, double back, hard

The German qualification is through. The puzzles will be available there again sooner or later, maybe I’ll post my contribution to the set here later. Here’s a somewhat trickier Checkered Fillomino that didn’t make it. Not sure it’s right to tag it as hard, depends a lot on how well you know the type.Posted in Puzzles, checkered fillomino, fillomino, hard, variant

I hope you enjoy these Checkered Fillominos as much as I do. This one came out clearly too hard for this year’s 24h puzzle championship in Budapest. (April 17-19, I don’t think it’s too late to join.)Posted in Puzzles, checkered fillomino, hard
