Posts: 114 Location: India | In E1 Star battle my logic went like this. 1. Every region need to have 6 stars. 2. At C2 there must be a stars. 3. The same region holds 2 stars at column A and D. 4. So one star must be at B or C9. 5. The other small region holds 2 stars at column F and H. 6. One star at G 5/6/7. 7. One at I 2/3. But i wasted hell of time and could not finish the puzzle. Can any one guide me were I went wrong. | ||||||||||||

You haven't gone wrong anywhere so far, but you can reduce things more. Remember that there can be only one star for each 2x2 area of cells. Dividing the "K" shape into this distribution helps - 1 star in I23/H3. 1 star in H34. 1 star in F34. One star in F56/G56. One star in F78. One star in H78. (G7 cannot be a star because you need 2 stars in F78/G7/H78 and this will contradict things). You should be able to reduce it further from here. | ||||||||||||

Posts: 114 Location: India | G6 also cannot hold a star. If we place a star at G6, F8 and H8 must hold a star, this restricts placing any star between E9 and I9. Is this logic correct. | ||||||||||||

No, you can still fit 2 stars in the remaining 4 cells of the row, A/D9 and B/C9. You can reduce it elsewhere on the K. | ||||||||||||

Hex Slitherlink Author Posts: 145 Location: France | Hmmm, my first time ever having a time bonus :) I think someone mistakenly configured the scoring page so that solving 26 puzzles would give a time bonus, but solving more wouldn't :-) Apart from that, great puzzles! Denis | ||||||||||||

Very nice puzzles! My only complaint is with Coded TomTom puzzle (C3). Symbol for division looks very similar to plus symbol. Maybe next time using / symbol for division might be better. Edited by Gotroch 2014-05-26 1:17 PM | ||||||||||||

2021 World Sudoku+Puzzle Convention Organizer Posts: 1800 Location: India | Hey everyone, Solutions will be released soon after the last International participants finish the test. On a related note, since I haven't yet explicitly stated details associating puzzles to authors, you all can go ahead and guess in replies here, if you want, for fun. Hints: Me, James, Bram each contributed 3 of the 13 sections. Thomas/Grant contributed 3 together with Thomas writing the variants where applicable. Deb contributed 1 section. | ||||||||||||
