Country : India | Administrator posted @ 2011-02-04 6:29 AM debmohanty - 2011-01-31 11:11 AM Both grids have their own A and B. Your marking of A and B in the rotated grid is incorrect. May be the rows should be marked as A, B, C, D to avoid any confusion. In the puzzle booklet, Tapa Rotator will have marks as A & B in the top grid, and C & D in the bottom grid |

Posts: 24 Country : United States | DreamRose311 posted @ 2011-02-05 4:45 AM For Tapa w/borders, in the IB it says that clues outside the border will be invalid, but the 3 on the bottom row is. Should it be a different number, or should the instructions say 'not necessarily valid'? Thanks! looks like a lot of fun! |

Yes, outside clues will be invalid, because it is needed to consider only final grid, clues are not important out of the final grid. |

Posts: 183 Country : Turkey | yureklis posted @ 2011-02-05 9:47 PM ATTENTION Word Tapa: There is an unclear phrase in the instructions. Each word should intersect or overlap with another one, but the instruction doesn't state this clearly. E.g. if there are two words as ONE and TWO, they can be TWONE but they cannot be TWOONE or ONETWO. All submissions will be checked manually. You can solve the puzzle as you like, the solutions will be accepted if it is correct with or without intersecting every word. Edited by yureklis 2011-02-05 9:48 PM |

Posts: 11 Country : Bulgaria | StGeorge posted @ 2011-02-06 3:00 AM Great puzzles, I still haven't finished all of them, but I'll be sure to do so. I realised, though, that I have posted my answers to the Tapa with Borders puzzles in the fields for the Tapa Possible puzzles. It would be very much appreciated if you could amend this error on my part. I guess the error-checking system isn't of much use when the answers to all puzzles have the same format :) |

But i think there are some technical issues in this situation, so probably administrator can fix this. |

Posts: 172 Country : ITALY | forcolin posted @ 2011-02-06 5:51 AM I believe there is another bad sentence on the WORD TAPA puzzle. "Different words can intersect only if they share a letter" says the booklet. but in the example VARIATION and CONTEST share TWO letters (ON). should the instruction say "if they share at least a letter"? |

Country : United States | MellowMelon posted @ 2011-02-06 6:30 AM Question on Tapa Star from someone who has done the test: does the count of cells between the two stars include the two stars themselves? I interpreted as if the stars in a row were in column 1 and column 6, then 4 would be entered for that row (columns 2,3,4,5 are between them). If that's not what you meant, can credit still be given? |

Posts: 32 Country : Turkey | zhergan posted @ 2011-02-06 9:26 PM Serkan for really nice set of puzzles and LMI for hosting this event. Tapa is a really nice puzzle type and its different variants increased a lot. Just by looking at normal tapa and its many variants I hope you will invent some other new puzzle types in the future...

The puzzles which I finished in the time were all very nicely designed and I look forward to trying the others later. David McNeill. I agree with you. I didnt make puzzles in different difficulties, i have a reason for this. In the last year we didnt use any bonus points, and in this year we dont want to break TVC rules. I had to make most of puzzles not easy due to lack of bonus points. Because we dont want to have a lot of participants who solved all puzzles. But i am afraid of not being good. So we decided to make much more puzzles than TVC V so that offering much more easy puzzles to all participants in next contests. We think that is better.
