You can check the TVC V, we used this puzzle in there. Normally the grid sizes should be given, but this time I didn't. Outside clues can be true or false, it doesn't matter. We need to find a correct Tapa puzzle with a squared sized grid, other clues outside the grid are irrelevant. | ||||||||||||||||||

For Tapa Logic and Knapp Daneben Tapa, a clue with only zeros means no shaded cells, while a clue with some zeros and some non-zero digits, the zeros are ignored? 1. Yes, digits must be non zero 2. For Knapp Daneben Tapa, if a clue contain zero/s all of them must be 1, but if I remember correctly I don't use zeros in this type. For Tapa Logic, if a clue is formed with just zeros there are no blackened cells around the cell; if a clue contain some zeros and digits, you should ignore the zero/s. | ||||||||||||||||||

For Knapp Daneben, I was thinking of clues that become zeros. | ||||||||||||||||||

Location: India | ghirsch - 2015-12-30 1:53 AM Could you explain how the extra time and penalties work? The contest length is 75 minutes, however you can submit after 75 minutes, upto 80 minutes. This 5 minutes is "extra time" or "grace period". A penalty will be imposed if you submit during extra time (irrespective of whether the puzzle is correct or not). The penalty amount will be announced before the contest starts. For your reference, we used 5 points per minute in TVC XIII and 15 points per minute in TVC XVI. The timer in the submission page will have two components. The extra time will be in red color. Additionally, you will also be able to see how much penalty you will get if you submit right at that moment. Normal timer Timer during grace period | ||||||||||||||||||
