Does Kropki (and Kropki-Skyscrapers) have "converse" rules, so "all possible white and black dots are given"? Just making sure.
Yes. All possible white and black dots are given. |

I want to mention, that the answer keys really were very good. Using 3 principal system for answer keys throughout the whole round is very pleasing. But I guess the puzzle types vere really helpful in here. Number puzzles rule! But still I enjoyed the tetro-pento placement the most. It's just because they were very entertaining to solve and also because the number puzzles were not sudokus ; ) |

I was having a smooth run until i got to the Tomtom puzzles. Even the "easy" one completely stumped me. It seems any digit can go just about anywhere...not for me, certainly not with a timer. Never had a chance to look at polyomino puzzles but I can try them later. Thanks for fun puzzles. |

I didn't like the kropki 'empty gimmick' being used, twice, the points are more relevant for those that have seen it before. Thanks H & P! |

Very much enjoyed TomToms, although the last two were quite difficult and ate up a lot of time. Also, the Pentominoes was quite fun and I was surprised at how approachable the logic was for me (I usually have difficulty with it ). Edited by mstang 2019-06-03 11:43 AM
