PB mentions "not later than 24-00 (of Moscow time) April 11 2018", but the timer in the submission page indicates 24 hours before that. |

In 11 can the ball cross its own path?
No.
So this translates to - each half white and fully white cell needs to be visited exactly once?
The white cell can be crossed twice. The path should not overlap with itself.
I don’t get it, can the road cross itself or not? Because your first answer is “No”, and the second one is “Yes”. Did you mean that a horizontal road segment and a vertical road segment can cross on a fully white cell? Are we talking about the 2017 April’s Opti-Roll puzzle; the road act same in here about crossing?
I understand the question as it is translated the translator. If the issue was not the word "own", I understood it clearly. The path can intersect itself (the fully white cell can be crossed twice ), but the path should not overlap with itself. |

Para - 2018-04-03 7:00 PM
For 10. Does minimum mean the amount of digits or the sum of their values?
For 11. Can you place a black triangle in a given cell with a triangle to turn it into a fully black cell?
10. Minimize the sum by using fewer digits.
11. Yes.
Questions for 11:
Could one also place two triangles in an entirely white cell, turning it entirely black?
And if so, would you name the two trinagles as A and D or as B and ?
Also, in what order are the tringales to be given in the solution code? If it's in order of the path (as the example seems to imply ) then where/how would one put in the triangles creating a full black cell, as the path doesn't visit them ?
It's possible. The order in the solution code is arbitrary. |

Country : Spain | For 11:
It's possible N=0?
Then a route with lenght=2 and N=0, i.e., is better that other with lenght= 40 and N=1?

A route must pass through all the white cells and half cells. If N=0, then the length of route cannot be 2 (this is much less than the number of white cells and white half-cells in the picture ). |

Fixed the end time. It should show correct time now. |
