PR 2020 (Shading and Loops) Author Posts: 668    Location: India | kishy72 - 2015-12-22 6:58 PM The incorrectly done Mochikoro puzzle where all islands are not connected solved in the last few mins of the test .Apparently,there are ways one can gain points by solving incorrectly too !  prasanna16391 - 2015-12-22 11:24 PM I too gained points by solving incorrectly, in a more indirect way. I solved the Japanese Sums 25 pointer incorrectly by placing a digit by mistake where it shouldn't be, which enabled me to reach an incorrect solution and move to the 105 pointer much faster than I would have if I had solved correctly. Considering I solved the 105 pointer with 1 minute to spare, I'd say the mistake gained me 80 points  haha interesting things. | ||

SM 2020 (Math) Author Posts: 419 Location: India | rajeshk - 2016-01-31 12:09 AM I could not proceed much Logical in this Fillomino Stars puzzles. Please do help me to get any logical continuation to this puzzle.  You are missing a crucial deduction here just like I did when I solved it before . 1) R4C1 can't be a star .If it is a star,R3C1 can't be filled by anything. 2)Following the earlier deduction ,you have R5C2 not being a star.If it's a star,R4C2 can't take any digit 1,2 or 3. 3)Now we have R5C4 as a star as otherwise Rows 4 and 5 can't take a total of 4 stars. Just a suggestion.Please post bigger images next time so that people find it easy to look where you are stuck : ) Edited by kishy72 2016-01-31 9:51 PM | ||

SM 2020 (Math) Author Posts: 419 Location: India | Encountered this frustratingly irritating Linesweeper variant that plays around with the rules in the Loop PR round.I couldn't complete it during the test (and even later), discarded it in a corner and totally forgot about it until I saw it creeping up in the LMI fun contest again.So I decided to clear up this puzzle once and for all .I continued until this point unsure of whether it is right or wrong.Could someone post the steps until the end? What is the logic for solving this particular puzzle other than the obvious ones at the lower right and top left and the not so apparent top right ?  Edited by kishy72 2016-03-16 1:26 AM | ||

I don't know how you got that. These are starting steps, which i followed. I hope it helps.  | ||
