Numbers cannot be reversed. They have to be put Left-to-Right or Top-to-Bottom.
I agree that it is not clear in the instructions. Edited by debmohanty 2011-11-18 7:39 PM

If any circle is blackened, the loop does not pass through that cell.
So, it is not like some of the Masyu variations we have seen where white circles become black circles. |

Country : United States | Nice puzzles. If answer corrections are being taken, I mis-entered my solution to #6a. For the B cell I entered the shape in the region, not the shape in the cell. |

Country : United States | Great set of challenging puzzles.
I was very bothered though by having to keep protecting the light gray lettering everywhere so I would not overlook a letter in a sequence. Slowed me down ever so slightly, and was constantly in my head. Not my favored choice of solution method. |

I like fishermen at war and kropkuro..wonderful combi. but hey,whats common b/w akari and nansuke? Is the akari logic going to help fill in nansuke in
anyway, or viceversa? Or they are independent (that would be dull)..And i cant imagine finding quick openings in LITS square! I have same question about Majilin that i have about akari.Any help in progress?

Country : Germany | ch1983 posted @ 2011-11-20 7:26 PM Hi, thanks for this great test.
I liked the puzzles a lot, although for the first time I had problems with the solution code: I really had to search for the very hiding letters of the alphabet (in Yajilin for example my loop goes once straight over the letter so that it got invisible). And to be able to read the Kakuro-clues I had to install another printer.
Nevertheless a very good test. |

Country : India | Really nice test. My only problem is that I solve on computer using paint and stuff, so in the fusion ones I had to use two different tools and keep switching, which put me in a state of confusion throughout the test :P Hopefully I'll get a printer soon... |

Country : United States | motris posted @ 2011-11-20 11:57 PM Beautiful puzzles (the kind of twisted classics I wish the WPC had).
Horrible answer entry mechanisms. I had to look back at the pdf in almost all cases where gray letters were used. |

I had the same problem. I thought it was only an issue with my printer, but apparently I wasn't alone.
I only managed to solve 10 puzzles (got stuck on the majilin... ) but they were very good. A lot of them combined types that I'm better at with ones I can barely do at all, which was a turnoff for the test because I didn't have time to practise, but with my rate of solving I didn't even get to them.
Good test, thank you. |

Country : India | No more participants at this time. But the score page is not frozen yet. As many players mentioned, answer keys were problematic. So we need some extra time to revisit all wrong submissions. I expect that the complete results will be out in 3 hours from now.
