Hello everybody.
One minor comment: the points awarded on some puzzles don't always match up between the puzzle booklet and the submission page.
Puzzle booklet: points awarded for puzzles 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 are respectively 4, 6, 4, 5, 12 and 7;
submission page: points awarded for puzzles 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 are respectively 5, 5, 5, 6, 11 and 11.


Thanks for letting us know. The Puzzle booklet had some late changes and the submission page points are from an earlier iteration. We will fix this soon, but Puzzle booklet has the accurate set of points. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi!
In puzzle 12, is it possible to put a zero in the outside clue? Zero means that there is no circle in that direction.

Hi!
Zero cannot be specified. Put only the products of the numbers in circles.

Technically the product of no numbers is 1, so it could be interpreted that a 1 clue in a diagonal is satisfied by having no circles in that diagonal

Can you please confirm that if a diagonal has no circles, you're not allowed to clue it?

Small change from earlier, we will have instant grading after all. This means the answer for the optimizers will show red highlight, but we will adjust it in the backend later, so ignore that.


Does this mean there are penalties for wrong submissions in puzzle 1-9, and they really count in the final result?

If there are no circles in the selected direction, then you cannot enter a number in the yellow square.
