The restriction only counts for every individual row or column. So in each row or column there should be at least N cells between two numbers N. So for example, between two 3's in the same row or column there should be at least 3 cells. Edited by Para 2013-01-05 1:34 AM

Booklet formatting and printing: Bold borders and non-bold borders aren't really distinguishable. |

I didn't have that problem in any puzzle. |

Country : Indonesia | Perhaps it's the fact that I printscreened the images at a zoom level not 100% (I solve by MS Paint and MS Excel because I don't have any printer easily accessible), so thin lines might seem thick. |

Country : United States | What exactly are the rules for when you can and when you can't claim a puzzle's points? Is it exclusively if you think that the puzzle was broken? or also if you misdid the answer key? For my case, I mixed up the white and black cells answering the mochikoro. Does it still count? Should I claim the points?
Thanks! |

Certainly a valid claim in this case. We'll look into it. |

Country : Slovakia | I really enjoyed this test, there were too many great puzzles. In my opinion, three best puzzles were Spiral battleship, Grafitti snake and Cubic sudoku. On the other hand, I still have no clue, how to start Fence samurai, it was the hardest puzzle for me. Consider that 150 minutes is too much, when you are solving during the night. I have lost track of time and missed the chance to submit my solutions  |
