Country : India | vopani posted @ 2021-01-24 7:28 PM Very nice set of puzzles. I miss the feedback form :-)
I felt the points distribution was off across types. Kakuros, Four Winds were over-valued, Hitoris / some Yajilins were under-valued.
Favourite puzzles:
Shikaku 10x10
Hitori 9x9
Kakuro-Shikaku 6x6
Thanks Prasanna!

Country : Turkey | bskbri posted @ 2021-01-25 1:02 AM The test was nice. Thanks :-) My favourites are the hitori puzzles.
I want to suggest to resume the regular format of instructions. The instruction of a single puzzle should be complete (instruction + example + solution of the example) in a single page.
The last puzzle is also nice after reading the instructions :)

I would like to have more opinions on this front and also reasoning either way if I am to change the format back. I got feedback that people like to solve the examples and find it difficult to do so with the solution next to it. This seemed like a legitimate concern so I switched it up, and I can't see a concrete reason to switch back, but I may be missing something. |

Country : United Kingdom | Feadoor posted @ 2021-01-25 11:23 PM The only disadvantage I see to the new system is that the description of the answer code is on a different page to the actual example answer code, and I had to flick back and forth to make sure I understood the code correctly.
This could be fixed by having a (perhaps shortened) reminder of the code's description on the answer page. |

Country : India | Can LMI ensure that from now onwards all tests including PR and Monthly tests will have penpa links for all puzzles? That would be really awesome .... |

Country : United Kingdom | Thank you. First timed comp for a long time for myself. Got a few puzzles left to solve without time constraint now but nice not to make any mistakes with answer keys on my submissions at all.

We have already announced that they will be present for SM and PR rounds. For non SM and PR rounds we can't make any such statement, it is up to the author (s ) if they wish to include them. |

Country : India | rajeshk posted @ 2021-01-29 8:32 AM Great test with a very nice set of puzzles.
I agree with most of the players feedback here that puzzle points allocation could have been better. I found Four Winds Puzzles very easy but has to struggle with the Hitori Puzzles with the same points.
However, overall a great test. Thanks, Prasanna for these puzzles. |

Country : India | Wonderful puzzles.
Although a pretty bad start for me, probably going to the discard pile.
I loved the hitori and shikaku variant.
Thanks, Prasanna, LMI, and the testers. |
