Posts: 315 Country : The Netherlands | Para posted @ 2015-12-21 12:34 PM Thanks, that was fun. I just can't solve Mathrax puzzles in competition. I seem to always mess them up repeatedly. I don't know what is up with that. Surely it will go the same as always, where I will sit down later and solve them in one go without problems. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 668 Country : India | swaroop2011 posted @ 2015-12-21 1:37 PM Excellent Test. Beautiful set of puzzles. Really enjoyed the set. Nothing much to regret except that 1 puzzle went wrong. But didn't waste much time except 10 minutes on Neighbors 2nd and Ripple Effect 2nd one. Even I missed those steps of Neighbors which rob explained. Haven't solved yet Japanese Sums 2, Snake 2 and Mathrax 2. It would be helpful if anyone can tell the steps/start for Ripple Effect 2nd, really, just all pencil marks is what I can put (Except few 1s and 2s in bottom left). Rest all experience was good, down until last second. I submited 2nd Pentominoes at 1:59:59 (hand shivering while moving mouse pointer to submit button :p , because just had 2 seconds, but fortunately could submit it) :) Thanks again for wonderful test. | ||||||||||||||||||

Start with the 2's in the right top. Thank you. Actually did that, but missed 1 step , after which the solve was smooth. I focused only at that area after you mentioned, and found the step I was missing. i.e. I got 2 pair in R2R3-C7C8. And eliminated 2 from R2R3C9, but somehow failed to use same logic to eliminate it from R4C7C8. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 225 Country : Thailand | tamz29 posted @ 2015-12-22 3:45 PM Loved the test. Nice to see international authors' contributions (other than SM and PRs, not that they are bad) slowly returning. I hope this rise continues for 2016. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 191 Country : The Netherlands | Richard posted @ 2015-12-23 10:23 AM WCPN-test is now officially over for more than 24 hours, so it is time to finish it in the forum too. :) Congratulations to Kota, Hideaki and Nikola for the top 3-spots. I could not believe my eyes when I saw Kota needing a bit more than an hour and a half to submit all solutions. My expectations were round 110 minutes for the fastest solver. Incredible job! Hans and I are happy to see over 200 players and the high rating for the test! Thanks for that! Florian's decease is a sad coincidence; only three weeks ago we received his feedback from test-solving the set. Given the circumstances we are happy that we could dedicate this test to him, it is the least we could do for him and his family. |
