Posts: 102 Location: United States | In Open Doors, should there be a rule that any two rooms must have a path between them? Or is this only coincidentally the case in the example? | ||||||||||||||||||

Location: India | The instructions say " All rooms are interconnected by doors." | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 102 Location: United States | Sorry, I meant a path of open doors. To be honest, the statement "all rooms are interconnected by doors" seems meaningless since it sounds like every border between cells is a door (open if you can see through it, and closed if not). Though maybe I'm still missing something. | ||||||||||||||||||

Though maybe I'm still missing something. Yes the rule is not clear to me as well. Can you clarify if the usual rule for Doors puzzle, that any two rooms should have a path between them through open doors (or no set of rooms should be isolated through closed doors) is required for solving the puzzles or not. | ||||||||||||||||||

Can you clarify if the usual rule for Doors puzzle, that any two rooms should have a path between them through open doors (or no set of rooms should be isolated through closed doors) is required for solving the puzzles or not. Rules have been modified "Each cell in the grid represents a room. Some doors are open, while the others are closed. The number inside a room indicates the number of rooms that can be seen (through open doors) from it in all four directions, including itself. All rooms are interconnected by open doors. Draw the closed doors." Answer keys have been modified: "Enter number of vertical closed doors in the marked rows and number of horizontal closed doors in the marked columns." Updated IB shall be uploaded later today. | ||||||||||||||||||

Shading and Loops (PR 2016/17) Author Posts: 60 Location: United States | Is puzzle 3 supposed to have 10s in the lower left and lower right corner? It didn't seem unique to me but worked nicely with those added. Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for a good test! | ||||||||||||||||||

Location: India | Puzzle Booklet updatedDuring a change in puzzle booklet to optimize some formatting elements, some givens were missed in a puzzle making it non-unique. This change has been rolled back and we have reverted to the earlier version at 2:55 AM IST (5 minutes prior to this post). As no Indians were impacted, this is the best solution possible at the moment. We apologize to the international participants who tried out the puzzle while it had multiple solutions. If you wish, we can remove your score from LMI ratings consideration. | ||||||||||||||||||

We request that this isn't considered in the puzzle quality rating since there is a best author prize this year! :) | ||||||||||||||||||

Hex Slitherlink Author Posts: 145 Location: France | I don't mean to be unappreciative, but I didn't particularly enjoy the mechanics of all the grids were one idea was repeated over and over -- it is funny once in a while but here it made solving quite repetitive and not so enjoyable. (Hitori 5 and 6, tents 8 and 9, loop finder 15, doors 17: each of them had a very nice and rather original underlying idea in principle, but in practice these grids were just not fun to solve). This is a case where trying to have original aesthetics / themes in the puzzle construction actually hurts the puzzle quality in my opinion. Denis | ||||||||||||||||||

Wonderful Test !! Actually went smooth for being starter. I completed 20 puzzles in 40 min but took like 15 min in just the Doors and BWG big ones. At the end entering answer keys was little hectic. My favourite was of course Doors Big and BWG big. Thanks Rohan for wonderful test. | ||||||||||||||||||
