Location: India | TentsThe answer key should contain column letters for leftmost tents in each row. Column letters (A,B,C, etc) are displayed above the grid in the Puzzle Booklet in grey colour. Use column letter X if there are no tents in a row. Please go through the example in the Instructions Booklet for more clarity. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 25 Location: United Kingdom | I don't understand why letters are used for columns: using numbers seems like a better option. Enjoyable puzzles, and a suitable difficulty level this time! | ||||||||||||||||||

Very nice test as usual! Thanks for putting this together. I'm not a huge fan of the magnets answer key because you have to alternate between holding shift for + and not holding shift for -. Could we use P and N instead? Favorite Puzzles: 4 Skyscrapers - I like the almost symmetric grid. 12 Anglers - The 2x2 blocks of fish made the solve interesting. 19 Skylines - This had a lot of loop / skyscraper interaction. 22 Magnetic Fields - I like this variation a lot. | ||||||||||||||||||

Had some trouble with big hashi. Also hoped to finish the set and it was close. In general nice and logical puzzles. But the points distribution was a bit off for me. Edited by TiiT 2020-04-18 8:32 PM | ||||||||||||||||||

Maybe it’s just me, but I find answer keys with letters for the column numbering (instead of numbers) really painful. And I cannot see the point of having to put letters instead of digits. The digits are ordered, and the letters are thrown on the keyboard randomly, so I have to put one hand on the grid to check the alignment with the top letter, and the other hand on the keyboard, trembling from one letter to another, eyes staring wildely to find the good letter. | ||||||||||||||||||

Excellent, entertaining themed puzzles as usual. No where near enough time as usual (for me--I have never been a speedy solver). | ||||||||||||||||||

This was fabulous! Priyam, you don't look like a first time author with this episode. Kudos to you and Prasanna for this. Puzzles were on the difficult side but thoroughly enjoyable. Magnets (17) spoiled my day as I got stuck for 15+ minutes and ultimately broke it. | ||||||||||||||||||

Too hard. Entering answer keys were a chore.In particular, Hashi's was very difficult to enter and I kept putting more digits than needed in the answer key due to wrong interpretation until I figured how it works.Maybe specific clues can be marked above by a letter and asking the number of clues connected to them would have been better ?! Also having so many left out puzzles is no fun when one looks to complete the set.Overall an okay contest with too many difficult puzzles than needed. Thanks Prasanna and Priyam for the contest. | ||||||||||||||||||

PR 2020 (MII and Regions) Author Posts: 55 Location: India | The quality of the puzzles were Awesome. I really liked the logic of each and every puzzle. The test was quite hard but enjoyable. It does not seems to be your first round Priyam :) Prasanna is one of the best authors so no need to mention him ;) . unfortunately i solved 2 magnet puzzles and did not type the answer key. 14 points less from the total score :( | ||||||||||||||||||

Very nice puzzles. Anglers were all very enjoyable. The exploratory puzzles were very good too. The other 10 pointers were difficult but had very nice solve paths. | |||||||||||||||||||

As a lockdown exception, I participated in this round. Superb puzles. Quality and logic was amazing. Of course as others have already stated, its definitely hard round. I broke skyscraper 7 pointer and Hashi 10 pointer at the end. Could have been 17 points more. Didn't get time to even touch Magnets. My favourites were: Skylines and Magnetic Fields Awesome Job Priyam. Quality was excellent though difficulty was hard. Thoroughly Enjoyed. | ||||||||||||||||||
