Somehow the Railroad tracks were my nemesis in this one, although I usually love them. Anyway, this was a really nice set of puzzles :) |

Location: Thailand | I think all PR's should aim for this balance. Very nice.
Should've intuited out more answers than wasting time on convincing myself with logical deductions ;) |

The only complaint I had with the formatting is that I found it somewhat irritating for new genres to start at the bottom of a page with new puzzles. It mostly bothered me during the answer keys. I just instinctively went to te next page when entering the last puzzle in a genre.
I enjoyed the set. It went pretty well. For the mystery linesweeper I feel I took longer figuring out the rules than solving the puzzle. Instructionless is not my thing.
Also: Japan, sigh. ;) |

The only complaint I had with the formatting is that I found it somewhat irritating for new genres to start at the bottom of a page with new puzzles. It mostly bothered me during the answer keys. I just instinctively went to te next page when entering the last puzzle in a genre We have been using this format for last 3 episodes, to have 10 pages instead of 12 pages in the puzzle booklet.
Will it help if the submission tabs are "by pages", and "not by puzzle types"? |

I didn't much care for the formatting of the Maxi-Loop; I think the half-bolded dividers were very confusing. Would either have looked for a different formatting, or an example with that formatting in the instruction book. Please help us to understand more, as far as I can see the formatting is same in IB and PB. |

I'd like the tabs grouped by pages instead of puzzle types. |

Thanks for that. But I am not complaining. ;-)
It was totally my fault that I didn't notice the extension until I logged in early to participate. |

Loops are not normally my thing, but these were very nice, thanks!! Some nice deductions, and I was very happy to be able finish within the time limit, which always feels good. Interestingly, I broke only 2 puzzles, and 1 of them was Simple Loop 1! :) |

I think that was something weird in my drivers/printers/something downstream. I saw that the printout looked weird (I'll attempt to attach a picture of how it printed out), and didn't check to see how the .PDF looked. I guess it was a technical issue here, that did make it much more difficult to solve the maxi-loop (can I use that as an excuse for not finishing that one puzzle?)
