Great puzzles. Scored some top 3 finishes (thus far). I think the point system is a bit quirky. We'll see how it works out after the test is done. | ||||||||||||||||||

Could you please post a puzzle booklet in .pdf format so that I can finish the puzzles at my leisure? Thanks. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 29 ![]() Country : United Kingdom | Nilz posted @ 2012-12-22 8:47 PM The solving interface said that my time taken for all sudokus had just past the 60 minute mark, but it didn't tell me that the time was up. Is this because the total time allowed was 65 minutes (because it included the 5 minutes to read the rules), or because even after the 60 mins was up, you can continue to view the puzzles you didn't get round to solving? At the time, I assumed the latter, so I just stopped solving and skipped to the end. But now I'm thinking that the first explanation might be correct, which means I wasted 3 minutes of potentially valuable solving time. Of course, if that's the case it's my own stupidity, but I think it could've been made a bit clearer. Anyway, nice test, 30 puzzles in 60 minutes is a tough challenge! Having to solve online made an interesting change- it's harder because you can't make pencil marks, but it's easier because there's no messing about with answer keys. I'm not sure which I prefer. | ||||||||||||||||||

We described some of the technical details earlier here. We did not include the instructions reading time in the 60 minutes. To me, it looks like the score page has a bug, and is not considering your entry which was auto-submitted at the 60 minute mark. The server seems to have received you entries properly. ![]() (Last 3 are submitted after 60 minutes mark) | ||||||||||||||||||

Thanks Deb, I think that explains it. Due to the bug, the clock kept ticking, so I didn't realise that my entry had been auto-submitted (although I'd assumed it would be). It all looks correct, in that it hasn't given me credit for anything I did after that. | ||||||||||||||||||

Thank you Deb, it was very nice test. I usually use pencilmarks very often, but this test disables it, so it was very different solving experience for me. Lot of solving in mind and memory was used. For the scoring - in my opinion penalty system could have been better. In normal tests one wrong digit = zero points. In this test, submission with lots of wrong cells was still awarded with fair amount of points. Next time, especialy for such small grids, there can be some limit of maximum wrong cells (6-8) for each puzzle to any points being awarded. Edited by Gotroch 2012-12-23 4:30 AM |
