Amazingly, as I said this I realized I'd got the end date wrong. Fixed it in all places I think. |

Location: India | Clarification for a query asked elsewhere: In the Akari [Skyscrapers], 0 is allowed as a valid height. This will be noted on the submission page too. |

Location: France | Clarification request on the clarification: is 0 visible from the outside? For a row that contains a 0 followed by a 1 and nothing else, would the clue to the left of the grid be 2 or 1? A height 0 building is not normally visible from the outside, since its height is equal or smaller to the surrounding ground, but I am not sure that this is the convention you are using. |

The clue to the left would be a 2. 0 is visible.
I'm sorry for using a more confusing convention, I didn't really consider it till it was too late.
It might help to just consider all of their heights as _PLUS_1. |

Hey what does this "Pen" in the score table mean? And how can one get bonus points?
Pen means penalty, if you have a wrong submission and then submit the same puzzle correct later you'll get a penalty. Look in the Instruction Booklet for a breakdown of this.
There is a bonus of 1 point per minute saved if you finish all 22 puzzles before the 60 minutes.
This is also in the instruction booklet, I suggest that anyone with questions look through it once, especially the starting pages. |

Location: United Kingdom | As I say, I'm not deliberately guessing, I just get to a broken point. I think this is the last common point before I start trying different things, so I reckon something is wrong by this point.
