And lost lots of time, as well as points. Puzzles were all really cool. Have to try remaining though yet. My favorite were Tapa Connection, Different Tapa and Black hole from among the ones i solved so far. I wasted Borders Tapa like 14 min and was getting wrong grid every time, and realized i am doing something wrong. I started over again, and just took 1 min to do it. Somehow i eliminated the possibility in 1st step itself, don't know why, but at the end that was the answer. No wonder, even after 14 min I could get nothing. In last 15 min, I broke 4x4 Tapa. which I couldn't recover from my mistake. So Almost in such short test, I wasted like 20-25 min. So could have done lot better. Black Hole tapa, i was afraid of, but looking at puzzle during contest, I thought I can attempt it, and well luck favors the brave, it solved logically and flawlessly. Anyways, wonderful test and beautiful puzzles. Edited by swaroop2011 2016-01-20 4:40 AM | ||||||||||||||||||

I did not receive credit for the "tapa-like loop" problems I did because I put the answers in the wrong format. Requiring us to read the directions AGAIN after we have already read the original instructions seems excessive. Even if I received credit for my answers, I think I would still be annoyed at the principle of the matter. | ||||||||||||||||||

If the answer is wrong format, but otherwise correct and sufficiently demonstrates that puzzle is solved correctly, you will get points.
