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.
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 _PLUS_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 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! |
