Posts: 123 Country : India | macherlakumar posted @ 2012-02-17 7:10 PM Hi, I have a doubt in Magnetic Tapa. I think the polarity order in Column 1 (marked in a rectangle) should be -, + instead of +, - as given in IB. Please let me know if I am wrong somewhere.

Posts: 28 Country : Austria | euklid posted @ 2012-02-19 3:44 AM @anurag: Could it be that your "total false" tapa has multiple solutions? I can replace the "24"-clue at the right border by "1" or by "111" and find solutions in both cases. edit: I also find multiple solutions for your braille tapa. Is there some mistake on my side?

You just had to make the rules so my Shortest Segment Tapa was incorrect. I let the puzzle run a lot on "there has to be a minimal segment" rule. Will make something new. Luckily I hadn't posted it yet. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 315 Country : The Netherlands | Para posted @ 2012-02-23 1:20 AM For Shortest Segment Tapa: Just a small clarification as I used this in my puzzle. If there's a number on the outside, does that imply that row/column isn't empty? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 136 Country : India | anurag posted @ 2012-02-23 1:23 AM Serkan's new version is a bit complicated and i do not like it much(only for a timed test).Also,unless you would like to indicate that a row is not empty,there is no point in using '1's as a clue.I would prefer to know that atleast one segment of that length has to be there. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If there's a number on the outside, does that imply that row/column isn't empty? Yes. If there is a outside clue (sure it will be) it means that there must appear some blackened blocks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 315 Country : The Netherlands | Para posted @ 2012-02-23 3:07 AM anurag - 2012-02-23 1:30 AM Why would you want to confuse the solver with a clue if the row was empty. Well it could be possible for a row to only contain 1 and 2 segment pieces because of clues or other parts of the wall and by putting a 3 there you could force the whole row to remain empty. Which wouldn't have to be the case if that 3 wasn't there. But it doesn't apply here, just showing how it could be helpful if the option was there.
