just as a suggestion.
cant there be another way to answer LITS puzzle its confusing to count number of T's or S's we may miss out one.
answer key similar to NURIKABE or any other.

Answer keys can be a fiddly business, and I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with the hashi one either. My tip for LITS is once you've completed the puzzle, to briefly spend some time writing the relevant letter on each of the tetrominoes (this doesn't take very long) and then answers will be relatively easy to read off. Promise!

As discussed after Fillomino-Fillia test, a typo will cost 20% of the puzzle value. Of course, one gets 80% only if the author/organizers are certain that the puzzle was solved correctly, but a mistake was made during submission.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the place to ask for this, but can I have a manual override for a typo on the numberlink?

Very nice set of puzzles Tom! Thanks.
The answer key for LITS and Hashi should be made simpler if possible in subsequent tests.

Hashi Suggestions: http://logicmastersindia.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=354&p...
For LITS, maybe a 'Tapa-style' answer key for marked rows/columns would be suitable.

Thanks for the puzzles, great test!

If you can reconstruct all my answer entries then you will see that my latest entry was just overwriting one valid entry key (that I entered much earlier) by another. This could save me some seconds for the tiebreaker and one rank in the final table. :-)

Have fun,
Stefan

P.S.: I actually had a reason to overwrite my solution a second time. You can write me an email if you want to have an explanation. Here it would be a spoiler.

The answer key for Hashi is simple, I agree. But I'm not convinced its the simplest. The problem is there's a good chance of a counting error. It requires the player to go through the entire grid carefully. And one can easily mistake a double bridge by a single one in counting (especially those with cumbersome handwriting).
There are some interesting suggestions in the answer key topic for Hashi.

I had to change computers part of the way through since mine lost its internet connection. The results page only shows those I entered on the second computer - can you add in those I submitted previously please? Thanks! :)

Yet another enjoyable test... unfortunately my printer ink died (thanks hubby for printing so many things and not telling me) so I had to transcribe most of the puzzles which slowed me down even further than my usual glacial pace.

Great test. Typo correction request for the Hashi: the solution I entered is the total number of horizontal bridges (so 2 * double horizontal bridges + 1 * single horizontal bridges).

Nice puzzles(whatever i attempted) !
Made few really stupid errors while submitting the answers(Maybe im too sleepy at this hour!)
(Please consider them if possible!)
Errors:
1.Shikaku-submitted the column to the right of B arrow.
2.Numberlink-submitted the combination of R2 and R3(i dunno what was i looking at!)
Overall i had a good time solving !
All the best to all the remaining participants !

Unfortunately updated submission form (since IIRC June's sudoku test) does not work for me on Linux (Firefox with Adobe flash player, Chromium with internal flash player).... after login in I get only text "Connecting to server to get status" and nothing else happens; I can't press Start.

Really sorry to hear that. It will be too difficult to fix it in short notice.
Please see my message.

I would like to work with you sometime next week to fix the issue since I don't have access to Linux machine.
