Posts: 542 Country : India | rajeshk posted @ 2012-02-26 3:26 PM I have doubt regarding the "Combination Tapa". In the given example if one replaces clue 2,4 with 7, it gives the valid solution. Please do let me know if I am missing something in instructions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 5 Country : United States | LordKinbote posted @ 2012-02-28 10:12 AM Was Braille Tapa perhaps inspired by my and Alan Fetters' Mystery Hunt puzzle this year, or was it a complete coincidence that it appeared here? I'm honored if so, amused if not. I found the tiny alphabet subset (including a "letter" that is not actually a valid Braille letter) interesting. It's definitely more manageable for the solver, though undoubtedly limiting for the constructor. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

As Serkan has mentioned in the IB (last page), Braille Tapa was certainly inspired from your Mystery Hunt puzzle, or more likely from your blog post.

Posts: 5 Country : United States | LordKinbote posted @ 2012-02-29 2:06 AM Ah, thank you, I didn't realize that there were credits at the bottom of the instruction page. I wasn't fishing for a credit (actually, I was more afraid that I had forgotten there was a Braille Tapa puzzle on the contests last year and had inadvertently stolen the idea from someone else) but I certainly appreciate one...it impressed my wife, at least. :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
