How balanced do you think the puzzle types of this test were?	Fairly balanced
What was your opinion of the distribution of easy/hard puzzles?	A bit hard
What did you think about the puzzle quality of the test?	Very nice
How did you feel about the length / time limit for this test?	Just right
Of the puzzles you solved/attempted, how well did the point values reflect the difficulty?	Most puzzles were worth the right amount
What was your opinion of the booklet formatting and printing?	I have a different complaint

I did not receive credit for the "tapa-like loop" problems I did because I put the answers in the wrong format. Requiring us to read the directions AGAIN after we have already read the original instructions seems excessive. Even if I received credit for my answers, I think I would still be annoyed at the principle of the matter.

We didn't have a chance to review the claims yet. If the answer is wrong format, but otherwise correct and sufficiently demonstrates that puzzle is solved correctly, you will get points.
