Is it possible to get credit for the battleship solution - I listed the correct location pairs, but they were also inverted

Done

I am not sure only solution of that puzzle (19 minesweeper), because I see at least a few solutions.
Anybody agree with me?

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.

I had also this problem

Tamz, i have lost 215 points for my slowness! :(

Akuma21, Given you points for Battleships and Minesweeper.

Alas, I make mistakes in 3 different answers, not good at all.

Thanks very much for the beautiful contest!

also for Minesweeper?? thanks too much!! But i have a question.
Are you sure that puzzle number 12 is correct?
i have tried to do it and i find 2 different areas not connect between them. Can anyone send me the right answer? thanks

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.

sorry for my mistake but i want to say p 11 not p 12 :(
Could you send me another time?

thanks a lot!

Guys Old system was better.................When we used to get the detailed results of all the participants.............waiting for the results is quite boring...............

what is the method of writing the answer key in battleship? i think i have the right solutions for both.
and a stupid mistake in kakuro :(

anyways a great MT to begin. I know these are some of the easiest puzzles one can get from Deb and even these were tough for me. :D

Chek, pleas, my answer for the P06 - battleships. I just wrote it without commas.

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! :)

Jason,
Feeling sorry for you as lost so many bonus points because of the counting error.

Deb

Very nice contest! I've got 3 wrong(counting problems), but I'm still satisfied with thwe format - many and not so hard problems. Couldn't solve all of them, but next time probably :P

So I reckon I'm down 125 points due to entering wrong answers having solved the puzzles correctly - I'm glad I'm not the only one who messed up the zig-zag count here, although I did manage to mess both of those up! Missing one square in my count on the 2nd fences was particularly galling, as was typo-ing the 1st kakuro. C'est la vie.

I thought the kakuro were pretty lame, the hitori a bit fiddly, but otherwise an excellent selection of puzzles. Hopefully I can improve on squandering 15% of my points away next time!

Hi Deb --I am (yet another) solver who didn't input my battleship answer in the right format -- pls advise if my answers were, nonetheless, correct.In any case, a very enjoyable mock -- my compliments to you and your crew!Best regards,davep.s. I just realized what I did wrong; namely putting spaces between each set, i.e. xx, xx, xx, xx -- instead of xx,xx,xx,xx
