Location: India | Little more than a day left, as I type this, for Marathon to end. See the submission page, just above the puzzles, for exact timing in your timezone.
Given that the score page has been displaying partial scores, you rank will take a (huge) dip if you have not completed at least 8 puzzles.

I think a few of the puzzles could have been easier. While the puzzles as they are will differentiate between the top solvers, the solvers around #50-60 have too many that take over an hour.
The equal points per minute scoring system for all puzzles regardless of difficulty seems a little skewed. |

Thanks to all the puzzle makers! This was incredibly fun.
The statue park in particular was cool: The givens were super elegant, and solving it was nice when everything kept getting paired up.

Location: United States | Would love to know what the intended break-in was for the Heyawake. I noodled around for about 30 minutes before I caught a contradiction, at which point it was way too late to push through for a bonus. |

Location: Poland | How to start Heyawake? I guessed one square ( http://imgur.com/UxG5adv ) and then it went with no bigger problems (...I mean without guessing). I want to know how to start it logically.
I really liked Turning fences and sudokus. The worst part for me was scrabble (because I hate word puzzles) and solution code for Araf (but the puzzle itself was really nice).

Fillomino-Fillia 2 Author
Location: United States | karzym: I believe that's the right break-in point. The 2 by 2 square in the upper half of that 3 room there needs at least one shaded square. The other three positions hit very quick contradictions. |

Location: Poland | Well, I noticed that the bottom of that 3-room must have 2 blackened cells. Then I found that the square with number 3 written (in the same room) must be blank. And then I panicked :).

Seeing all results after the contest would be nice.
I can only see the few I completed.
All results are now available. It was supposed to be available immediately after the contest ended, like all other LMI contests. But a bug had crept in.

About answer key of Araf : We did have alternate thoughts about it. But we stuck to this because 1) we used the same answer key last year (without any complaints) 2) if the answer key is computationally extensive, it is same for all. |
