PR 2020 (Shading and Loops) Author Posts: 668 Location: India | WA1729 - 2020-03-22 12:40 AM Very nice puzzles! These were all well written. I like Transparent Yajilin a lot and hope it shows up more often. Favorites: 2 Nurikabe 11 Border Nurikabe 14 Yajilin 16 Ripple Loop 22 Transparent Yajilin Thank you. I liked it too, a very interesting set of deductions can be possible in this variant. Hopefully, I will create more puzzles of this type in future. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 2 Location: The Netherlands | I really enjoyed the puzzles, though I think I don't get the windows rules completely. Can someone explain why this solution to puzzle 5 isn't valid? (x = shaded, _ is white) ___xxxxx xx_x____ _xxxxxxx _x______ _xxxxxx_ _x____x_ xxxx_xxx _____x__ | ||||||||||||||||||

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | Houk13: In your solution, many given shaded cells are showing as unshaded. (Example R2C7). Did you solve the same puzzle? Otherwise, it seems a valid windows solution. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 59 Location: United States | Timjamiller - 2020-03-21 9:21 AM Hey Bob. One misinterpretation you're having is that you're allowing empty spaces to occur. The puzzle instructions say that the loop must visit every cell. The rule I was having trouble with was the horizontal/vertical adjacency stuff...mostly because I overlooked that in my first readthrough. I was originally thinking that it was path adjacent (like ghirsh) and not cell-adjacent. Thanks for finding my mistake. Even when re-reading my eyes gloss right over the little word "all" since I am assuming it is a Masyu variation (which it is not). This makes the larger puzzles possible; thanks again. bob | ||||||||||||||||||

Great puzzles with a good balance of difficulty. I had a smooth run until I hit Windows (7) and Border Nurikabe (12).These 2 ate up a sizeable chunk of my time.In the end, I was just extremely lucky to submit the 12 pointer at exactly the last second !! Thanks Swaroop for a nice puzzle set.Favourites are Nurikabe and Myopia. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 225 Location: Thailand | Nice test, Swaroop. This goes to show that not all easy puzzles are boring. A lovely introduction to these types where a lot of existing puzzles written could be impossibly difficuly for newer solvers. Thanks! | ||||||||||||||||||

Classics & Regions (PR 2016/17) Author Posts: 170 Location: Germany | Thanks Swaroop, this felt like a perfect PR round to me. Easy puzzles (but, honestly, not *that* easy to solve rigorously, so very much appropriate for a contest targetted towards less experienced solvers. Thanks a lot! I feel lucky for the instant grading, since my one mistake was a real mistake (I'd let some transparent yajilin clues unused by the loop) and not just an input error. | ||||||||||||||||||
