Great puzzles with a good balance of difficulty. I had a smooth run until I hit Windows (7 ) and Border Nurikabe (12 ).These 2 ate up a sizeable chunk of my time.In the end, I was just extremely lucky to submit the 12 pointer at exactly the last second !! Thanks Swaroop for a nice puzzle set.Favourites are Nurikabe and Myopia. |

Thank you. |

This goes to show that not all easy puzzles are boring.
A lovely introduction to these types where a lot of existing puzzles written could be impossibly difficuly for newer solvers.
Thanks! |

Country : Germany | rob posted @ 2020-03-23 10:21 PM Thanks Swaroop, this felt like a perfect PR round to me. Easy puzzles (but, honestly, not *that* easy to solve rigorously, so very much appropriate for a contest targetted towards less experienced solvers. Thanks a lot!
I feel lucky for the instant grading, since my one mistake was a real mistake (I'd let some transparent yajilin clues unused by the loop) and not just an input error.

A very nice set. I was afraid of trio cuts eating my time, happily I got them fast enough. 12-pointer Border Nurikabe was pretty fun but maybe overvalued, after some initial progress I was convinced that the regions will mostly be "outlined" by borders (especially the 9 ) so it worked quicker than expected. My favorites are the large classic yajilin and the transparents. Thanks for the puzzles! Stay safe everyone. |

I really loved the puzzles, enjoyed solving Nurikabe and its variant. Hope that our friend Shaheer rests in peace. |
