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 : ) |

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. ; ) |

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 We have been using this format for last 3 episodes, to have 10 pages instead of 12 pages in the puzzle booklet.
Will it help if the submission tabs are "by pages", and "not by puzzle types"? |

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. Please help us to understand more, as far as I can see the formatting is same in IB and PB. |

Thanks for that. But I am not complaining. ;- )
It was totally my fault that I didn't notice the extension until I logged in early to participate. |

Loops are not normally my thing, but these were very nice, thanks!! Some nice deductions, and I was very happy to be able finish within the time limit, which always feels good. Interestingly, I broke only 2 puzzles, and 1 of them was Simple Loop 1! : ) |
