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.
"Tapa clues using digits from 1 to 5." |

Thanks for clarifying this. I missed this rule in instructions.

Does Submitting end your contest, or can you safely submit each puzzle as you do it? Thanks. You can submit as many times as you want. Submitting does not end your contest. |

Country : United States | 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.  (20120228_113713.png)Attachments ----------------  20120228_113713.png (37KB - 1 downloads) |

Country : United States | 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. :) |

Is this standings just made for the top 10 or is this listed somewhere officially? |
