Posts: 315 Location: The Netherlands | In Opti Pentobattle, if I input the wrong K+1.5N because I didn't count the number of solutions correctly, will my solution be counted as wrong or will it count as the correct K+1.5N? | ||

Location: India | Para - 2016-04-21 10:05 AM In previous years, Riad has corrected the "optimized value", if it is wrong. It will be done similarly for Opti-Pentobattle. In Opti Pentobattle, if I input the wrong K+1.5N because I didn't count the number of solutions correctly, will my solution be counted as wrong or will it count as the correct K+1.5N? The purpose of asking optimized value is to sort the solutions quickly. | ||

Moscow Puzzle Cup 2016 Author Posts: 234 Location: Russia | kiwijam - 2016-04-21 5:34 AM "Borderless Sextet" questions: - Is every cell of the grid in one of the 6 regions? Or can there be cells which are not used? - Packing Figures are only on white cells, Battleships only on blue cells, the other 4 regions can be white or blue. Correct? - The Battleships region must include empty cells between ships, but can other regions include empty cells also? e.g. can the Snake region be larger than 19 cells, or can the Scrabble region include cells without letters? I think in the other three regions, every cell must be part of a loop/tetromino/yellow figure? 1. Each cell belongs to one of 6 regions. 2. Correct. 3. Yes. | ||

Posts: 315 Location: The Netherlands | Administrator - 2016-04-22 2:37 PM Tie-breaker for Puzzle 10 - OPTI-PENTOBATTLEAnnouncement from Riad - Tie-breaker for solutions with same value of K + 1.5NIf two solutions have same value of K + 1.5N, the solution which has smallest rectangular Pentomino area will be considered as better solution.What does smallest rectangular Sea Area mean exactly? Is that the smallest rectangle the pentomino shape could be fitted in (with max dimensions 10 by 10)? Is this purely by size (9x4=6x6)? | ||

Moscow Puzzle Cup 2016 Author Posts: 234 Location: Russia | Para - 2016-04-22 5:29 PM What does smallest rectangular Sea Area mean exactly? Is that the smallest rectangle the pentomino shape could be fitted in (with max dimensions 10 by 10)? Is this purely by size (9x4=6x6)? The best, where Pentamino area limited by the rectangle of smaller area. For example, the area bounded by the rectangle 8x10 better that by the rectangle 9x9. The length of the rectangle cannot be more than 10. | ||

Typed Logic Author Posts: 241 Location: Indonesia | So it's the area that's not covered by pentomino, the area that doesn't contain the ships? | ||

Posts: 187 Location: New Zealand | So it's the area that's not covered by pentomino, the area that doesn't contain the ships? The area not covered by pentominoes is "land". The pentominoes are the "sea". The ships are placed into the sea somewhere. So then the pentominoes contain ship cells and empty sea cells. You need to find the smallest rectangle (max 10x10) that will hold all your pentominoes. | ||

Typed Logic Author Posts: 241 Location: Indonesia | Oh, right, ships are placed on sea. I instinctively translate regions left without pieces as sea. I also misread the tiebreaker, thinking that the tiebreaker is to minimize the area of the largest rectangular region that is entirely inside the pentominoes. | ||

Posts: 172 Location: ITALY | question about 9 ACCORDANCES Is the question solvable only with logic/algebraic calculations or does it require knowledge in a particular field? (music, sport, astronomy etc.) | ||

Posts: 3 Location: Uzbekistan | Sorry for repeating the question, that was above, but nevertheless - my answers for puzzles 1 and 12 are considered in wrong format, though I checked it many times. Deb said that it would be fixed, but it's still not. Is there a way to be sure that the format of the answer is right? Maybe a pm from someone? I'm not asking to check the answer itself, only format. One more question - about puzzle 8 - how do you write the content of a cell with a number, if it has more than one digit - for example 19 - should I write 19 or 9, for example, or somehow else?

Posts: 172 Location: ITALY | I have used the notation in parenthesis - for example (19). i know the length of the input string is longer and the format alarm goes on but i believe this is a warning for the player rather than a physical limitation to the length. If i am wrong pls administrator let me know and i will change the format | ||

Fixed red warnings for 1 (again) Red warnings for 12 can not be fixed. Please ignore them and submit carefully. About 8 : Riad expects to type 19. You can follow forcolin's advice above, if you want. | ||

Only one solver gave the last digits of the numbers, but I'll count this answer as correct. | ||
