Thanks for the puzzles Serkan. I think the first Taca is broken though, which is frustrating since I wasted valuable time trying to solve it.
EDIT: I see now that the rules were incorrect for Taca. Edited by ghirsch 2016-12-25 2:52 PM

Country : The Netherlands | Para posted @ 2016-12-25 7:14 PM Is there any chance this one can get extended as it's running over Christmas? It's been hard to find some time to do this in between traveling and family gatherings this weekend. I doubt I am the only one to have this problem. If not, I'll try again tomorrow. |

I should probably not do this while being somewhat sleepy. |

Country : Slovakia | The Latin Tapa is much harder when you are ignoring the clockwise rule. The bottom one deserves 100 points and the upper one at least 1000  Edited by greenhorn 2016-12-28 1:50 AM

I agree, the Latin Tapa stumped me for a significant while longer than the other ones. It was the only blip on an otherwise perfect contest (I mean from a competitive perspective, from an enjoyment perspective all puzzles were great! ) |
