Yes, THANK YOU RIAD for some really great puzzles. I love the format, much more satisfying than 60/90 minute frenzy with the printer
On first seeing them, I thought I would hate the optimizations, but in the end I loved them all. It turns out the only thing I really hate is Mechanical Sudoku. The number equation was the least fun of the optimization - mostly because I resolved to manual brute force,. I am happy to see that I managed "local optimums" for Record Score (best solution with symmetrical paths), and Opti-Road (best solution with G=g (or V=v).
As for the top three solutions for "From 0 To 9":
Since these solvers were aware of the possibility to use negation/unary minus, which was explicitly endorsed by Riad on the forum, I would think it fair to allow them the top solution utilizing it:
-65821=-9403x7
Thank you Nis,
In your solution 12. Record Score there were forbidden passes, which reduced your result.
The result -65821 would be minimal, but it was necessary to strive for the maximum. |

Indeed, and indeed.
I also see that I had errors in 2 of the regular puzzles. Bummer.
It does seem like some scores are missing for puzzle 10 (including mine ) - not sure if this is also due to invalidity of the answers? Seems unlikely, since "moeve" submitted what looks like the same solution as me, modulo reflection, and scored 8 points for it
Anyway: Thank you, once again. |

Hello Christian,
It is noted on my sheet that you have 5 points. Sorry, we'll add it now. |

I checked the table with my sheet. Some points were not saved. I'll ask Deb to add them.
P10:
Jo97 11 points,
Nizz 8,
Ausmunchkin 5,
Tiralmo 2 (Tiralmo confused the setting digits horizontally and vertically, but I counted him 2 points ).
P11:
Sugitakukun 11,
Christian 5.
Thanks! |

All the optimizers were interesting, and I think that the LMI-Road puzzle has a good new logic idea. |
