This applies to Instruction-less Tents Variation too.

Haha looking at points table, it seems it will be Tetro/Pento which will be challenging : ) |

Have very mixed feelings about this test. I really enjoyed the Tetromino/Pentomino and Akari sets. The Instructionless ones were good too. Battleships were nice, but I found all of them very similar, using the total-sums logic to make deductions. Would've liked some variety. Tents! Ohh man, I struggled on Tents. Not on the puzzles, as much on the answer keys. I found it too much of an effort to count all those cells, and it definitely is not 'negligible amount of time'. I think using column position of left-most (or 2nd/3rd ) tent would've worked just fine. Thanks Rajesh and all the other authors for these wonderful puzzles in PR this year. |

Many puzzles seemed to take a lot of time, and the answer keys added to the problem. Final frustration was spending about thirty minutes on the final instructionless minesweeper (my favorite puzzle ) but not having enough time to count all the mines and peck the correct keys. Sometimes I really wish there were some other way to do contests other than just speed. The puzzles are really creative and satisfying but they are substantially more fun with the timer OFF. |

For the first Pentomino puzzle, the answer key asked for is "GF" instead of "FG".
Also while filling pentomino answer there shows up hint "4 digits" "6 digits" etc. it should be written "4 letters", "6 letters" etc. |

Well that was a sad end for me. Puzzles were good but I didn't expect to be this hard for last round. Well May be I was too slow. I struggled a lot in Tents and Pento and then for answer keys. Made lot of mistakes and had to resolve 2-3 puzzles. Definitely not my day. It was nice to see, most of Tent puzzles with no numbers. I was expecting a low performance from me as couple of types are not in my like list, but didn't expect this bad. But anyways thanks Rajesh for wonderful set, Will Solve remaining puzzles soon. I liked the Akari Set and the Minesweeper (27 mines ) and instruction less. Thanks to all the PR authors and LMI for wonderful PR rounds throughout 8 months. |

Country : The Netherlands | Para posted @ 2016-03-27 12:29 PM I found the Minesweeper Instructionless a bit weird to be included in an Object Placement round as it's really just the same as Linesweeper, which was in the Loops round. The clue just marks the cells the loop does not go through instead of the cells the loop does go through. |
