Triplets & Triangles Author Posts: 63 Location: United Kingdom | Another question about Prime Domino. If there are no shaded squares in a domino, is the total necessarily non-prime? | |||||||||||||||||||||

WCPN Author Posts: 191 Location: The Netherlands | David McNeill - 2013-09-05 7:46 PM Another question about Prime Domino. If there are no shaded squares in a domino, is the total necessarily non-prime? According to the instructions it is possible that two white cells in one domino add to a prime number. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 35 Location: United States | Ugh. Not pleased with my performance, but the puzzles were great. However, I did lose about 10 minutes on an error in the instructions for 12 (Spiral City). Instructions claim the numbers go from 1 to 32, but there are only 30 segments. My math on the two center rows just refused to work until I threw out the 31 and 32 segments. Probably could have figured out one or two other puzzles in the time, but it still would've been awful. :) Regardless, thanks for the entertaining set! | |||||||||||||||||||||

Location: India | FoxFireX - 2013-09-07 9:05 AM You are right. Just added a note in the Submission page about this typo.on an error in the instructions for 12 (Spiral City). Instructions claim the numbers go from 1 to 32, but there are only 30 segments. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Hex Slitherlink Author Posts: 145 Location: France | The puzzles were indeed really really good -- one of my favorite recent tests. But I had terrible luck with timing, finishing the Sudokakuro just 5 seconds too late (of course it'd have taken another 10 seconds to copy down the answer key). Sigh. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 187 Location: New Zealand | Great puzzles Richard, thank you! I'm glad they were easier than most of your portal ones. One comment on the submission page: Is it possible to have the puzzle numbers (1-20) included as well as the names? It would be much faster to find the correct location to enter the answer, especially as some of the puzzles had similar names. | |||||||||||||||||||||

A good test, but hard to prepare for. It was 16 unusual types, some with rather specific rules. The LMD practice material helped a little, but some of the LMD puzzles used subtly different rules from the test. Despite doing all of them, I still felt shaky going into the test. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

WCPN Author Posts: 191 Location: The Netherlands | An LMI player - 2013-09-08 12:12 PM A good test, but hard to prepare for. It was 16 unusual types, some with rather specific rules. The LMD practice material helped a little, but some of the LMD puzzles used subtly different rules from the test. Despite doing all of them, I still felt shaky going into the test. I am not aware of subtly different rules, maybe apart from the Filled Loop. I think I didn't use the non-diagonal touching of pentos when I created the first puzzles of this type a few years ago. For the other types I think the rules in the portal are the same as in the test. Please point out if not so. When the test is over I will post some notes and considerations about the test and selection of puzzles. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Thanks a lot Richard. Your puzzles were lovely. Whole test was smooth for me except the Spiral City C. I forgot the loop thing, probably the reason is that I solved the puzzle as Spiral Battleships. Also I assumed that we must use all numbers from 1-32, I didn't count all segments of the city. So I experienced difficulty in the middle of the grid because of this. I erased, I repeated, but the result didn't change. But last ten minutes I remembered there was a loop :) Then I did it. So I could be much better if I hadn't done this stupidity. Anyway, thanks a lot! | |||||||||||||||||||||
