In other terms: if you expect to barely finish the other rounds in the allotted time, expect to be able to get a score of roughly 900 on this round, and it's ok if you are completely incompetent a., for instance, Mahjongg Mazes because there are enough puzzles of other types. |

In other words, all shaded cells must be connected by other shaded cells to an edge of the grid." This plus the flip of what's shaded in the example led me to think that what I wasn't shading were the walls of the cave and because they were unshaded, the walls were allowed to be enclosed. I should've tried to solve the example - I would've noticed there wasn't a unique solution with that interpretation. Going back to the competition puzzle, this is making much more sense now, thanks. :) |
