Location: India | About Extra time =========== For this contest, we will make few minor changes to extra time concept. 1) Penalty will be .2 points per second 2) In the submission page, you can see the amount of penalty when 'Extra Time' is running. This will help you determine easily if you should submit any puzzle or not. See attachment. (2011-11-24 20 19 56.png) Attachments ---------------- 2011-11-24 20 19 56.png (8KB - 3 downloads) | ||

Posts: 315 Location: The Netherlands | Is there still going to be a claim bonus button? Not that I expect it will apply to me, but as I saw it said score won't be available till Extra time is over. | ||

Location: India | Yet another quick note about Penalty points The time of your submission will be the time the server received your answer, not the time you clicked on submit button. In most cases the difference will be couple of seconds. | ||

CTC & TVC Author & Organizer Posts: 183 Location: Turkey | anurag - 2011-11-26 9:12 PM Serkan: I think you forgot to write this in the answer key. Thanks for a fun and challenging test. :) No, actually I didn't forget. This issue is a specific condition, so I didn't want to consider a general case in this contest, so I ignored that. Because we can easily give points to both answer formats, not a big deal. Main idea in my mind is that don't make confusion for competitors with more details in answer format Thanks | ||

CTC & TVC Author & Organizer Posts: 183 Location: Turkey | To get bonus points all puzzles must be solved, so if a competitor solve 15 + half of Spiral Snake puzzle he/she cannot get bonus points, he should solve whole Spiral Snake puzzle. Edited by yureklis 2011-11-27 4:58 AM | ||

Posts: 42 Location: United States | Terrific work, Serkan! I will spend many hours on the ones I did not finish, and really enjoyed the ones I did (except maybe that one I got SO CLOSE to finishing!!). Thank you for generously offering your time to write these puzzles for all of us to enjoy. JZ | ||

Posts: 3 Location: United States | Thanks for the puzzles. I would recommend consistent wording for whether or not snakes can diagonally touch. Some instructions refer to "points", others "diagonally", and others make no mention of diagonal touching. Trayton | ||

Sudoku Grand Prix - Italian Round Author Posts: 21 Location: ITALY | Great job Serkan, thank you. But I didn' find a solution for Masyu Snake. Was it possible that the snake touches itself diagonally? It wasn't specified in the PB. Otherwise I miss something. (May I have a visual solution?) Alberto | ||

Alberto It has a solution, probably you missed something. For Masyu Snake in the IB says that the snake cannot touch itself, so I think it is clear about diagonally touching. | ||
