There was a change in the top 3 for the first time since ages.

On an unrelated note, are other people rating these puzzles too?

Average Ratings can now be seen from the score page (Day-wise Statistics)

I always thought 14-Feb's puzzle will have the highest rating, but that is not the case :-(

Hi,
I am not sure if others are facing this issue or not, whenever the grid size is decreasing the options above it are being hide by a scroll bar.
Even toggling to full screen did not help.

Regards,
Ravi

I'm also getting the puzzle display problem on the Mar. 16 puzzle where a scroll bar hides the controls. I had this problem at least on other day awhile back. Resizing the main window doesn't help, and the puzzle pane doesn't seem resizable.

Perhaps,the administrator should either drop this one,or schedule a fresh one later at a pre-specified time(12 hours later?).

Announcement - 20-Mar puzzle is wrong

As many of you have found out by now, 20-Mar puzzle is wrong. (It is wrong by a digit, ah well). At this point, we are cancelling this puzzle and there will NOT be any replacement puzzle.

Ya I enjoyed it too. Its a pity it won't be counted in them. One of the best IMO. Of course, I had seen once I was about to start at 12.12 that no one had finished yet, so I did it really slowly after a starting risk with T&E just for the possibility of getting an awesome time :P Was fun for the time I did it slowly. Funny how even after changing a digit there was a uniquely solvable puzzle.

Re Prasanna: I'm coming late to the party and assuming that Tablesaw's comment means the server's solution treated R8C8 as a 5, but actually the puzzle as presented (with a 6) is the only one that's unique. With a 5 there, many other solutions exist. That is a pretty nice puzzle too.

You're right on your assumption(according to Deb). As for the multiple solutions, since the solution is treated as a 5, I assumed that to be correct and forming a valid puzzle, and didn't really check it out. Having looked back, I agree my assumption was wrong, and that only the one with a 6 gives a unique solution.

Will there be a 50th puzzle added at the end or will the competition last for 49 puzzles now? I was just wondering as there seems to be a possibility developing that Valezius can catch up to places 2 and 3 as the gap has shortened considerably in the last few days. It might not make a difference but it could. Also I've been closing the gap to place 4 again, but the top 3 change would of course be a bigger development as that's been the same three people for well as long as I've been keeping track.

Yeah, the problem was the recorded solution was wrong. The puzzle itself was valid.
We could have fixed the recorded solution, but by that time 2 players (Psyho and wielki_m) had submitted the wrong solution, which the system flagged as right and (possibly) had left the scene.

We will most likely have 50 puzzles, so the last one appearing on 1st April. But I need to get it confirmed from Serkan. So a concrete answer is pending.

With this one day break we will solve the 50th puzzle on 30th of March.
And the TVC XII will finish on 2nd of April.
Is this accurate?
