Posts: 23 ![]() Country : United States | thesubro posted @ 2011-09-03 7:52 AM For Fortress, the Answer Key instructions advise: "Write the length of separate white cell blocks in the marked rows and/or columns (write 0 if there is none). The answer for the example would be 1, 1." Frankly, its a bad noninstructive example. If there were 2 separate white cells of length 1 in the first row, should the answer have been 11, 1 (a one for each separate white cell block) or 2, 1 (providing the aggregate "length of the separate white cell blocks") Thanks. |

Posts: 23 ![]() Country : United States | thesubro posted @ 2011-09-03 8:01 AM For Galaxies, the Answer Key instructions advise: "Write the length of distinct regions parts in the marked rows and/or columns." Just as in Heyawacky, symmetrical "galaxies" can double back on themselves and have arms or legs separated by other galaxies. In such instances should the answer reflect each portion of a multi-part single galaxy by the length of its aggregate distinct parts, or each portion separately? Thanks.

Posts: 30 ![]() Country : Canada | figonometry posted @ 2011-09-03 8:13 AM Does anyone know of a good tutorial for how to do Heyawake? That is easily my biggest blind spot now when it comes to puzzles. I managed to get everything else on this test solved (and mostly correct!) near my target time, but never finished the Heyawake. I've been practicing them, and still it's rare for me to finish one. |

Posts: 16 Country : United States | anderson posted @ 2011-09-03 8:45 AM As for having fun, this test was certainly a lot of fun. Thanks a bunch for the elegant puzzles, Ours brun! :) And the test was definitely doable in the time allotted, but that didn't prevent me from breaking a puzzle because I couldn't count to 3, restarting, getting to the final step, and then wondering for 5 minutes why it didn't have a unique solution, again because I missed something and couldn't count to 3. I ended up not solving it. Oops. |

Posts: 23 ![]() Country : United States | thesubro posted @ 2011-09-03 10:33 AM As usual, LMI is the the top site for online puzzle test fun, both in terms of the quality of the test taking mechanisms as well as the product. Thanks for all of the hours that the puzzle creators (By Bastien « Ours brun » Vial-Jaime) and Deb put into these efforts. With that all said, I personally stink at Galaxies and Snake puzzles, so I was not looking forward to them on the test - and my concerns were accurate. I guess I will need to wait for a treatise to be published by Motris or MellowMelon so that I can advance my puzzle career. Folks, great fun again. Thanks so much. TheSubro |

![]() Country : United States | MellowMelon posted @ 2011-09-05 12:59 AM Yeah, I can concur with having the pulse racing. Although here, that took the place of the huge amount of sweat I've started to feel all over me after finishing a 90+ minute test. |

MellowMelon (33:51), motris (34:05), xevs (37:48) take the top 3 positions. Their timings are extremely close (note that xevs took 3.5 minutes to recheck all answers before hitting 'Claim Bonus'). All of them and 3 more in top 10 are well ahead of their 'target' time. Thank you everyone for participating and for voting in the poll. It is important for us to know what everyone expects. Some stats : Total number of participants : 264 Number of non-zero scores : 210 Number of players claiming bonus : 41 Number of players getting bonus : 36 Number of players submitting all 15, but not claiming bonus : 4 Number of players with all 15 correct: 29 Number of players with 14 correct: 19 Median Score : 110 |
