Excellent Set of Puzzles. Among all the tests, this one went very smoothly for me. Not much time waste and not much stops. I enjoyed Maxiloop 16 pointer and Linesweeper Variant very much. Linesweeper Variant was very tricky, was lucky to get that solved intuitively. A nice round for me.
1 more to go :)

I did rather poorly this time around. I can solve the puzzles quickly just fine, but 4 errors!

I didn't much care for the formatting of the Maxi-Loop; I think the half-bolded dividers were very confusing. Would either have looked for a different formatting, or an example with that formatting in the instruction book.

Very fun puzzle set. Drawing a loop seems to add a little artistic spice to a puzzle makiing it a little more fun than a sudoku of similar difficulty.
The linesweeper puzzles were difficult for me...I spent almost as much time on the first linesweeper as the hard maxi-loop. My brain kept wanting to apply snake rules (or Bosnian road rules) wherein the loop cannot touch itself and I couldn't visualize the sharp U-turns required by the solution.

Somehow the Railroad tracks were my nemesis in this one, although I usually love them. Anyway, this was a really nice set of puzzles :)

I think all PR's should aim for this balance. Very nice.
Should've intuited out more answers than wasting time on convincing myself with logical deductions ;)

The only complaint I had with the formatting is that I found it somewhat irritating for new genres to start at the bottom of a page with new puzzles. It mostly bothered me during the answer keys. I just instinctively went to te next page when entering the last puzzle in a genre.
I enjoyed the set. It went pretty well. For the mystery linesweeper I feel I took longer figuring out the rules than solving the puzzle. Instructionless is not my thing.
Also: Japan, sigh. ;)
