Wonderfull set of Puzzles. That's a good beginning to the year 2019. Thanks Rohan and LMI. My favourite were Wranglers and Battleships. It could have been better for me, as I spent 27 min just for last puzzle Wranglers. But at least managed to finish it in time. So happy for that. But Wranglers was real workout, there were so many possibilites i was missing. Finally with the help of few tricks i grinded it out. Thanks again. Happy New Year to everyone !!! |

Felt like there were more rows/columns that had arrows (for the answer keys ) than normal. Also a bit weird that some of them had letters on and some didn't (unless there's something odd going on with my printing! ). But the puzzles themselves were mostly nice, anyway. :- ) I hope the level of difficulty will be consistent across all the rounds, I'm much more likely to compete if I know/ hope I only need to set aside one hour instead of 90 minutes. |

I had #14 marked as wrong, so I double checked my answer and then wrote an email to the admins as instructed... before finally noticing a digit error in my answer key. Oops! I was too distracted by the message. : ) |

It was a nice set of puzzles, but really... the answer keys were confusing. I spent quite remarkable time filling the answer keys - and the worst one was fourwinds in my opinion. |

This was a very nice test, with good puzzle quality : ) On the subject of answer keys, it was hard for certain puzzles to generate and check the answer key. In general, I feel like answer keys that ask for full rows/columns are better : easier to check for competitors, and easier to auto-check for mistyping (length, sum... ) The hardest for me was the "tents" answer key : I found it very hard and slow to count "longest non-tent area", as trees are "occupied cells" and look more like tents cells than blank cells. I think I'd rather have to copy full rows (something like XOOXOX, with X tents and 0 non-tent ), than what we had in this test. Alternatively, making it a "battleship like" answer key with leftmost tent for each row would at least unify the format with another placement puzzle. Four|Eight winds and [wr|]anglers weren't easy as well but not as bothersome as tents. Of course, all the above does not take into account the primary role of answer keys, which is to check the correctness of the players's solution, so I have no pretention to offer a perfect solution. I just wanted to give my prespective on this subject : ) |
