Country : India | The IB is published. I don't expect any further versions unless there are errors, potentially number of PB pages might go up by 1. |

The IB is published. I don't expect any further versions unless there are errors, potentially number of PB pages might go up by 1. Amazingly, as I said this I realized I'd got the end date wrong. Fixed it in all places I think. |

Country : India | Clarification for a query asked elsewhere: In the Akari [Skyscrapers], 0 is allowed as a valid height. This will be noted on the submission page too. |

Country : France | auroux posted @ 2023-03-16 2:08 PM Clarification request on the clarification: is 0 visible from the outside? For a row that contains a 0 followed by a 1 and nothing else, would the clue to the left of the grid be 2 or 1? A height 0 building is not normally visible from the outside, since its height is equal or smaller to the surrounding ground, but I am not sure that this is the convention you are using. |

A height 0 building is not normally visible from the outside, since its height is equal or smaller to the surrounding ground, but I am not sure that this is the convention you are using. The clue to the left would be a 2. 0 is visible. I'm sorry for using a more confusing convention, I didn't really consider it till it was too late. It might help to just consider all of their heights as +1. |

Hey what does this "Pen" in the score table mean? And how can one get bonus points? Pen means penalty, if you have a wrong submission and then submit the same puzzle correct later you'll get a penalty. Look in the Instruction Booklet for a breakdown of this. There is a bonus of 1 point per minute saved if you finish all 22 puzzles before the 60 minutes. This is also in the instruction booklet, I suggest that anyone with questions look through it once, especially the starting pages. |

Country : United States | wow, absolutely awful round, but considering how bad I am at all the non-akari genres in general I guess that's not surprising. Kept breaking both of the easier pentopia, I need to go back and solve these legitimately to figure out where I'm going wrong. |

Country : India | @pinkagape I can say this is correct actually. Your mistake is probably coming after this. From here, you may see contradictions in 2 of them if you try the 3 different possibilities for the r1c8 clue. |

Country : United Kingdom | You saying there were three options in the top right was all I needed. I only had two and found the contradictions multiple times. Thanks! |
