CTC & TVC Author & Organizer Posts: 183 Location: Turkey | paramesis - 2016-12-16 7:40 AM In Dutch Tapa, am I correct in understanding that any cell with a black or white circle that is part of the wall must be adjacent to exactly two shaded cells? If a black or white circle is the part of the wall, yes; two adjacent cells of those must be blackened. Edited by yureklis 2016-12-17 12:33 AM | ||||||||||||||||||

CTC & TVC Author & Organizer Posts: 183 Location: Turkey | chaotic_iak - 2016-12-16 8:49 PM Latin Tapa: The clue on R3C4 seems wrong; it reads WDRO, not WORD. Also I hope it has a clearer appearance on the test; white on light gray is awful. Yes there is a typo, will be fixed. About colours, it seems you are right, it is really hard to see letters, I'll do better. Tapa In The Cave: Can clues see past other clues? There is not any restriction, so yes they can [TVC XIV, http://puzzleparasite.blogspot.com.tr/2013/08/tvc-xiv-practise-part... Taca: What happens if a row/column with a Tapa clue to be placed is full? Or such row/column may not be full? I don't get the point; is this a question about rules or are we discussing some possibilities? Edited by yureklis 2016-12-17 12:33 AM | ||||||||||||||||||

Typed Logic Author Posts: 241 Location: Indonesia | For Taca, yes, talking about rules. The clue on right/bottom of the grid is placed "on the first empty square". I suppose that means there must be an empty square, aka the row/column may not be fully black? | ||||||||||||||||||

Or does the clue no longer apply? Yes, shaded clue cells are still valid. Please don't forget this, blackened clue cells are still valid, you can look at the example. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 69 Location: Japan | I think rules of Taca need some clarification. From puzzles in the actual test, "first seen unshaded cell" should be replaced by "first seen cell that is neither shaded nor clued". | ||||||||||||||||||

Thanks for the puzzles Serkan. I think the first Taca is broken though, which is frustrating since I wasted valuable time trying to solve it. EDIT: I see now that the rules were incorrect for Taca. Edited by ghirsch 2016-12-25 2:52 PM | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 315 Location: The Netherlands | Is there any chance this one can get extended as it's running over Christmas? It's been hard to find some time to do this in between traveling and family gatherings this weekend. I doubt I am the only one to have this problem. If not, I'll try again tomorrow. | ||||||||||||||||||

2021 World Sudoku+Puzzle Convention Organizer Posts: 164 Location: Slovakia | The Latin Tapa is much harder when you are ignoring the clockwise rule. The bottom one deserves 100 points and the upper one at least 1000 Edited by greenhorn 2016-12-28 1:50 AM | ||||||||||||||||||

The bottom one deserves 100 points and the upper one at least 1000 I agree, the Latin Tapa stumped me for a significant while longer than the other ones. It was the only blip on an otherwise perfect contest (I mean from a competitive perspective, from an enjoyment perspective all puzzles were great!) | ||||||||||||||||||
