The IB is published. I don't expect any further versions unless there are errors, potentially number of PB pages might go up by 1.

Amazingly, as I said this I realized I'd got the end date wrong. Fixed it in all places I think.

Clarification for a query asked elsewhere: In the Akari [Skyscrapers], 0 is allowed as a valid height. This will be noted on the submission page too.

Clarification request on the clarification: is 0 visible from the outside? For a row that contains a 0 followed by a 1 and nothing else, would the clue to the left of the grid be 2 or 1? A height 0 building is not normally visible from the outside, since its height is equal or smaller to the surrounding ground, but I am not sure that this is the convention you are using.

The clue to the left would be a 2. 0 is visible.

I'm sorry for using a more confusing convention, I didn't really consider it till it was too late.

It might help to just consider all of their heights as _PLUS_1.

Hey what does this "Pen" in the score table mean? And how can one get bonus points?


Pen means penalty, if you have a wrong submission and then submit the same puzzle correct later you'll get a penalty. Look in the Instruction Booklet for a breakdown of this.

There is a bonus of 1 point per minute saved if you finish all 22 puzzles before the 60 minutes.

This is also in the instruction booklet, I suggest that anyone with questions look through it once, especially the starting pages.

As I say, I'm not deliberately guessing, I just get to a broken point. I think this is the last common point before I start trying different things, so I reckon something is wrong by this point.

You saying there were three options in the top right was all I needed. I only had two and found the contradictions multiple times. Thanks!
