Almost 2min lost because I can't count from 1 to 5 in 3rd Hidato. 😅 Still it was a great set. Thanks for that!

Awesome puzzles, great fun. Favorites were hidato 3, slither 3, and all the statue parks. Thanks to the setters and organizers!❤️

Count me in the "love contests I have a chance to actually finish" group. Now I just need to not take a third of my time on two puzzles next time to improve. I will always take more contests like this, consider that high praise!

Echo the above sentiments - fun puzzles! Enjoyed all Hidato and Star Battle, and for not doing many Nurikabe's beforehand, finishing Nurikabe 1 and 2 was very good for me. Stumped by the middle 4-8-4 section on Nurikabe 3 - any pointers would be amazing! :)

@Chocchip37: The middle 4-8-4 section is driven by the large 8 island in the middle. It doesn't have enough room there to fit 8 cells, because there are so many islands surrounding it; how can it escape?

@djmathman: Ah, yes, there is only one way it can escape; ty, that gives me something to work with :)

Thank you for the fun puzzles! It was my first time taking part in any sort of competition and I’m relatively happy with how I did. Statue park 3 stumped me and I’m still trying to find the error in my logic, but other than that and a tiny error in submitting one of the hidatos, it was great! Looking forward to the next one!

That was fun! My first contest! I'll make sure to not use firefox next time, though. Had to copy the puzzles to paper by hand. 😅

Great puzzles! Thanks so much. Really nice being able to finish everything within the time limit (just)! Nice range of difficulty with some great deductions in some of the harder ones. I even enjoyed the Hidatos which is not normally my kind of genre!

Very fun contest! Puzzles solved smoothly and a few had a bit of bite to them, which was nice. I prefer numbers to letters for star battle answer entry, but I'm sure there are reasons for doing it this way.

Fun set of puzzles, I really like the difficulty level. Felt like I learned something new about each of the puzzle types, especially the ones I had not done much before (Statue Park, Star Battle, Hidato).

Loved the puzzles - thank you! My favorites were Hidato 3, Slither 2, Statue 2, Statue 3, Star 3 and Nuri 3. I loved the selection of types here - it was fun to see Hidato and nonstandard-shape bank Statue Park. Thank you! ❤️😊

Hoowah! My first contest; I'm not only a slow solver, but am particularly good at pencil puzzles. Goal #1: submit at least one entry. Goal #2: do not submit any incorrect entries. Result: three correct submissions; no incorrect submissions. Goal successful! ❤️👏😊👏❤️

Loved the puzzle set - there were some great puzzles in here! I cannot believe just how fast the top solvers can do this!

I have a question about the score page. Some positions are struck through, and some positions are highlighted in orange. What do these mean?

As far as I know, struck through means inofficial (one can choose this option at the begin of the participation), and orange mean that these are new results since your last reloading of the page (and green means that the person is participating at the moment) (and top20 are marked between green and orange as well)

Wow, a lot of finishers on this one!

I felt like I was blazing through them, using intuition well and finding great deductions...and then the top times are still about twice as fast as that. Room to grow for me, a nice appetizer set to start the LMI year.

Thanks for the puzzles! I originally skipped Statue Park 3 because I was intimidated at first, but loved the starting deduction once I came back to it!

What do the columns headed *0#* and *Last Sub* mean?

"O#" is rank for Indians, which is only meaningful in contests like Indian Sudoku Championship.
"Last Sub" is the time at which the player submitted the last time (within the contest limit)
