Country : Estonia | TiiT posted @ 2021-06-13 7:42 PM Thank you for the effort of making another version of the puzzle booklet. I really appreciate that you were willing to do it, although it would have been also ok if you didn't do it. It definitely was helpful when I solved odd-even puzzles and at start it was excellent. The gridlines of toroidals were pretty fat though - but no problems in there, it was nicely solvable and it didn't bother me. But arrows and thermos were still basically missing. There was something visible, but it was impossible to tell where they situated - so I did redraw all of them.
After the competition I also downloaded the 1-st version of puzzle-booklet and printed the thermo out and the gray was completely missing from that page.
It made me rethink - maybe there must be something wrong with my printer or settings. I took files from different competitions (earlier GP rounds, some national championships which I tested earlier and WSC files which I have and some other files I have) and printed out puzzles with arrows, palindromes, thermos, shaded cells, ... ... and all of them are perfect. All the gray is perfectly visible in all the pages I printed out.
It just cannot be my problem and I have no idea why the gray from LMI competitions doesn't print.
-----
But the puzzles were really nice and enjoyable. I found them pretty challenging, but they are very nicely constructed. I enjoyed the whole set.
P.S. The classics were very easy this time and it was possible to get the answer keys pretty early. There are significant blank cells left in those pages with classics.

Country : India | Thanks Rakesh. I guess I must have done something equally silly with the third link which is why I got that crazy response! |

Thanks to the 335 participants, and the 52 finishers.
Congratulations to Kota Morinishi, Endo Ken and Jakub Ondrousek for taking the top 3 spots.
Exceptional performance from Kota!
Also, Congratulations to Prasanna Seshadri, James Peter and Kishore Kumar for taking the top three spots from India.
Thanks to Gaurav Kumar Jain for authoring this round! Excellent creations in the hybrid genre. Extra Regions 9x9 was the least (correctly) submitted grid. Surprisingly both coded consecutive pairs also had less correct submissions.
Those who missed taking part in this test can still take this test unofficially.

Country : India | Thanks to all the participants. This is slightly different type of hybrids than usually seen, Most struggle in 6x6 consecutive pairs-coded, but it is very easy after getting possible A and F coded values [34]. Congratulations to the winners and specially Kota who just sprinted through. Special mention to James Peter, who took 2nd place among Indian participants and look very promising. |
