The puzzles were great. But the answer key seems to be a problem.
I lost 115 points from my own carelessness. (Both Zig-zags and the first arrow)

..
However, I also lost an additional 80 points from both battleships:

The answer required:
xx,xx,xx,xx (no spaces)

I put:
xx, xx, xx, xx (with spaces)

Can these be counted correct??

Jan,
I solved it again, but could not find any problem.
But possibly, I could miss something again and again. I've mailed you the solution. Email me if you think there could be other answers.

Sent you answer for puzzle 12 at your email id (g******i@yahoo.it)

Your minesweeper answer is correct. The entered format is wrong. So points are awarded.

Hallöchen!
Greetings from Germany!

This was really a goodPuzzle Test! Thanx alot!

But I have three questions:
1) My first Domino-Puzzle is Ok, but I wrote x, instead x+1, because I could not count!!! Is there a chance for some points...
2) My second Minesweeper-Puzzle is right, but I wrote y in the seventh row, instead y+1, because I am not able to count...chance?
3) My both Zig-Zag-Puzzle are right, but I count all horizontal and vertical line segments, but not the constinous one, but I count the sum of all horizontal and vertical segments! Is there....a....chance?

But now I´m very happy about this fine PuzzleTest...I´m waiting for the next!

Greetings from hopppe

I´ve a question at last: my clock is 30 minutes after the real time! Is it possible to chance this?

+1. But when I count the sum for P24 I make mistake. But the sum of all horizontal and vertical segments for P25 is right.

Terrific work as always. Thank you very much for the fun.

Magnets #2 really got me for awhile! I had very little time to finish it on my third try and guessed where I made my mistake the first two times. Fixing that made it work with 25sec left! A pity I could not count horizontal line segments in my otherwise correct VUVUZELA puzzle.

Have a great week! I look forward to more puzzle fun from the brilliant folks from India! :)
