Personal favourites were the start of the Star Battle, the easy Skyscrapers, the Maxi Loop, and I spotted your style in the Slitherlink. <br />I hadn't seen Easy As Japanese Sums before, and found it very hard as I learnt, but then I found the intended path which made it much easier :)James McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09477107207813026710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283950071005526162.post-24434120794637344942013-03-26T21:19:01.846+01:002013-03-26T21:19:01.846+01:00Well, there's 20 regions in the puzzle.

I just mentinoed the altered region constraint as the rest remains like normal.Parahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367804879917808922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283950071005526162.post-62600498752005217782013-03-26T11:23:20.730+01:002013-03-26T11:23:20.730+01:00In star battle .what is the rule?

Mainly because the trick lay in recognising that you can only have 4 blank squares in the last 2 columns instead of normally focussing on the sums and numbers. I thought it was a nice new trick, that I hadn't seen used before.<br />Well, this set of puzzles were tested on times between 45 and 70 minutes by the total by the testers. I just hoped there were enough easier puzzles for everyone and then a few harder ones where everyone could pick whatever they preferred.Parahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367804879917808922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283950071005526162.post-33120371959972014412013-03-23T00:49:22.216+01:002013-03-23T00:49:22.216+01:00Very nice puzzles, but so haaaard (for the time al...Very nice puzzles, but so haaaard (for the time alotted). And the sums, it should be called "hard as japanese sums" :) The time wasted on this one more or less cost me the playoff :Dcantdancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17750799705784519293noreply@blogger.com
