Will there be penalty during the grace period. I guess yes. How much?
When we announce puzzle points, penalty points will appear. So all points (including penalty ) will be announced in Friday. | | Contest Length : 75 minutes
Total Points : 749
Bonus : 8 points per minute saved
Grace Period : 5 minutes
Penalty : 5 points per minute used |

About puzzle 7. Digital Tapa I wonder why number 9 is given. Can we expect clues in bigger cells, 2x2 for example? In that case is it possible to appear two-digit clue?
9 will not be printed in the puzzle booklet. |

Country : Austria | euklid posted @ 2012-02-10 11:40 AM I don't understand the rules of Tapa Guard. From the example I have a theory. I have repeated rule 2 in a way that it makes sense to me. All changed words are upper-case:
2 - Each digit represents a guard, observing EXACTLY that amount of blackened cells in the corresponding DIRECTION. A digit in an undivided cell MUST observe in AT LEAST ONE of the four directions. |

Country : The Netherlands | Para posted @ 2012-02-10 11:53 AM I also had a question about Tapa Guard.
In an undivided cell, if there are equal digits, should each observe that amount of cells in a different direction? I used this in my puzzle, but I wasn't 100% sure if I was correct in assuming that now.
At least it's handy to know submitting in the grace period will always increase your score as no puzzle is worth less than the total penalty.

Yes, a digit in an undivided cell should observe in at least one of the 4 direction. It can observe all four directions, or two of them, or three of them; but in any case it has at least one observation. |

I didn't use that you mentioned clue type in competition puzzles. All undivided clue cell has only one digit. |

By the way, I can't see the result page ever since I completed. Does this page have any problem...? |

Well for what its worth, I can see the results page just fine, so I guess the page isn't a problem. |

Country : India | I can see from database log that no one from Japan has accessed the score page.
Do you get any particular error or any message?
Is it possible to send the screenshot to logicmasteradmin@gmail.com ? |

Country : India | Bit strange problem. I see that yukkuri from japan and motris, TableSaw, nehsb have seen the score page.
Please send me screenshot of what you see.
EDIT : The problem is resolved now. It was related to IE, not Japan. |
