I was a bit confused by the novelty. perhaps did not pay attention to other forum posts. I found the puzzle very integrated to each other and the idea of having always the same names very intriguing. I can understand the frustration of Kota. I have solved now all the puzzles i did not solve in the competition and can appreciate their quality. Only one thing could be improved, the distribution of the points. The Wordsearch was not difficult but very time consuming and should have paid more than 12 points; on the other hand the nurikabe was paying very generously because, once gone through the difficult step (and the puzzle has only one) the solution is immediate; definitively not the most difficult puzzle of the set as the 24 points seem to suggest. | |||||||||||||||||||||

But, I had a sad feeling because my place at WPC was 11th. If I had performed little better, my name would have been listed in the puzzles... I think Nikola was very happy with JANA instead of KOTA though, especially in the no repeat genres as it gave that nice 9 A's. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 187 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : New Zealand | kiwijam posted @ 2012-11-19 9:06 AM I'm not very confident with word puzzles normally (I leave them until last in most tests), so I thought I'd be bad at this, but I still wanted to compete. So I unclicked the 'include in ratings' box so it wouldn't matter if I was awful. But after finishing I see this is likely to be my best result yet! How confusing :-) Now I definitely wish I hadn't played with that checkbox! Perhaps all the puzzles I did last month had a positive effect after all. I think it is necessary to spot that there are 9 "A"s for Word Labyrinth and Snails Nest, and in Nurikabe I noticed that the E could not be HIDEAKI, because if it was you could write the name backwards IKAEDIH and get a different solution. Thanks Nikola! | |||||||||||||||||||||

I think Nikola was very happy with JANA instead of KOTA though, especially in the no repeat genres as it gave that nice 9 A's. Sure! To tell the truth, I didn't notice that 9 A's within duration time... Moreover, if KOTA had been listed, 'KO' would have apeeared three times and some puzzles would have been more confused! | |||||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 225 ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : Thailand | tamz29 posted @ 2012-11-19 8:35 PM I would've beaten Ulrich if I hadn't forgot to include him in the Word Labyrinth! 17 points is definitely a huge amount to lose this way. :( I don't think I'll ever have another chance being this close at the front of the pack. Word puzzles are easily my best type to work with. One of my earliest experience with puzzles was from a 24HPC set by Nikola, one of my favourite set of that year, I think it was 2007. Then my first top 20 finish was in Puzzles and Chess. And now, fingers tightly crossed, I'm hoping for my first podium finish here. Nikola, you should write LMI puzzle tests more often. :) | |||||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 103 ![]() Country : Serbia | Nikola posted @ 2012-11-20 4:18 PM Congratulations from my side to Palmer who almost completed the test, with one already described small mistake. He had more than 13 minutes for last Word Search puzzle but he couldn't finish it. Also congrats to Ulrich and Tawan, they solved correctly 9 of 11 submitted puzzles. The fact is that most of the puzzles was a bit hard. When I saw Cedomir's and Serkan's total time, I decided to limite solving time on 90 minutes. It seems I had a strong pretesters for word puzzles. I must say I enjoyed this weekend as many of you. Thanks to all of you for comments and feedbacks. Dominant green color on graphics telling me the test succeded. | |||||||||||||||||||||
