Location: Germany | There's a small bug with marking off clues: If you click a clue, there's no redraw until you move the mouse, so it feels like the click doesn't work. (This is on Mac OS.) |

The same thing happened to me on today's puzzle.

Damn that was too slow for me. But was trying to avoid mistakes. Excellent Puzzle to start with.

ah. did bad again. Back to back tough ones.
hinowbye commented at 2016-01-03 01:27:29
guess I'm the only one that couldnt do NEARLY any of the others but did this in the shortest time? guess I'm alone...
thesubro commented at 2016-01-03 01:51:48
For those of us who must be missing the top 20, when do the full standings come out and will we be able to see how we did vis-a-vis the rest of the competitiors? Thx.
swaroop2011 commented at 2016-01-03 04:41:19
I think they are still working on Full scoreboard (as posted in forum), it will be available soon.

Prasanna16391 commented at 2016-01-05 04:58:20
This is the first one where I couldn't see a logical path. I did after proving that the middle 3 clue had to have its right shaded, but proving that needed a fair bit of trial on its left. After that though this had very nice logic with connectivity prevented through certain areas.
swaroop2011 commented at 2016-01-05 09:08:31
Tough one. Not my day i guess.
I started out correctly, but kept making same mistake every time in the top. But anyways this is just getting started, hoping to catch up score on other days.
Grizix commented at 2016-01-05 09:31:44
Same as Prasanna.
And I never thought I'd say that about a puzzle ^^
Para commented at 2016-01-05 15:04:48
I couldn't see the path in the solve, but figured it out now.
rob commented at 2016-01-05 16:03:54
My best argument so far is: The only way to connect the two halves of the 33 clue locally leaves the 2 of the 24 clue stranded on the right, so regardless, we have to loop from the top of the 33 clue all the way around the top right to the bottom middle. This implies that R5C3 is shaded, among others. Since the 24 clue takes one of the 13's shaded cells, as does the central 3 clue, R7C3 can't be shaded.
rob commented at 2016-01-05 16:04:38
The best bet for solving quickly still seems to be a case distinction on the central 3 (and don't mess it up...).
xevs commented at 2016-01-05 19:50:46
tough...t'was bad day for me too...

Uff. Finally avoided the mistake. back to back hard ones. :)
swaroop2011 commented at 2016-01-06 02:31:42
and yeah forgot to mention, there is nice uniqueness trick in top left :)
rob commented at 2016-01-07 14:15:14
Besides the uniqueness, what I learnt here is that if two corners of a 113 clue are shaded, then all four must be shaded. Still not a smooth solve for me.
Para commented at 2016-01-07 19:00:01
@Rob: Same goes for the cells orthogonally adjacent to the clue cell around a 113.
Rohan Rao commented at 2016-01-08 17:18:16
Liked the flow of this puzzle. Though, took me a while to get things going. And completely missed the break-ins, ended up guessing throughout.
Rohan Rao commented at 2016-01-08 17:20:13
Sorry, posted the comment on wrong day :-) The above comment was supposed to be for 7th-Jan.

Lovely puzzle
john_reid commented at 2016-01-07 05:06:39
Excellent puzzle - I wish it hadn't taken me so long to see the break-in point. I don't remember ever having seen that clever use of a mostly surrounded 3-1-1 clue before!
rob commented at 2016-01-07 14:19:35
This one was really fun, thank you!
Para commented at 2016-01-07 18:58:19
That was really nice.
rajeshk commented at 2016-01-07 23:23:12
Really fun puzzle. Learned to use uniqueness to solve the Tapa :)
swaroop2011 commented at 2016-01-08 02:35:38
I went pretty slow on this one. but nice solve

It looks like today's is going to be a mistake gallery.
rob commented at 2016-01-08 00:42:19
I don't get it, it wasn't even that hard. But the batch of unsolvable puzzles at the start has put me into this guess early mode, and experimental solving just doesn't work for me with the applet...
swaroop2011 commented at 2016-01-08 03:01:43
nice easy one. I guess i did one mistake with 2-2-1 combination clue, apart from that went smooth.
Para commented at 2016-01-08 09:57:08
Not sure why, but I kept clicking the wrong button. Still a good time though.
rajeshk commented at 2016-01-08 15:32:08

now that was fun!
bram28 commented at 2016-01-09 03:00:52
Ugh! I perceived the 13 as a 113. Stared at it for 2 whole minutes before I saw my mistake.
sayan commented at 2016-01-09 07:08:57
from where you started to begin?
hinowbye commented at 2016-01-09 12:43:40
i started from the bottom right
Para commented at 2016-01-09 14:46:47
@Sayan: Think about how the 33 interacts with the 6's next to it.
Rohan Rao commented at 2016-01-09 15:27:15
That was indeed fun!
rajeshk commented at 2016-01-09 20:27:23
Nice puzzle. once I was able to put some boxes in bottom right everything went very easy.

Really happy I didn't make a mistake on this one, it's so hard to look at adjacent clues independently...
swaroop2011 commented at 2016-01-10 02:54:20
nice one. I went pretty fast. but took time to interpret adjacent 2 , 3 clue cells. nice one.
rajeshk commented at 2016-01-10 19:22:11
Nice puzzle. Made mistake in lower corner for 1,2 hint. Very good puzzle

Another 3-1-1 clue that got me started on this one. Great puzzle!
anderson commented at 2016-01-11 19:16:08
The 3-1-1, 3-2, 5-1 combination was great, I've never seen that before.
