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.

Very fun puzzle set. Drawing a loop seems to add a little artistic spice to a puzzle makiing it a little more fun than a sudoku of similar difficulty.
The linesweeper puzzles were difficult for me...I spent almost as much time on the first linesweeper as the hard maxi-loop. My brain kept wanting to apply snake rules (or Bosnian road rules) wherein the loop cannot touch itself and I couldn't visualize the sharp U-turns required by the solution.

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

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. ;)

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"?

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.
