I have completed the puzzle, but not quite sure what happened to me I kept checking it and felt it was wrong, totally got lost and finally gave up. After the contest I solved it again took around 10 minutes and the solution matched with the one I did during the contest.<br />This time I should not repeat the same mistake.<br /><br />Also your practise puzzles helped me a lot. Expecting you to prepare for the TVC XI and XII.<br /><br />Regards,<br />RaviAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283950071005526162.post-34930623732117430292012-03-01T08:36:38.511+01:002012-03-01T08:36:38.511+01:00Oh I found the opening.

Like I said, tired mind. It seems we have more similarities than the Braille Tapa, I also saw the red timer and thought the same and finally moved away from Difference and finished the Total False in that 1 min 27 seconds penalty.<br /><br />I know what you mean about the traffic, similar stuff happened during the Puzzle Marathon, especially when I posted the Graffiti Snake practice puzzle, its never come close to those numbers since!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283950071005526162.post-8033869967310384342012-02-29T22:02:53.162+01:002012-02-29T22:02:53.162+01:00Well the Difference Tapa I just found it hard to f...Well the Difference Tapa I just found it hard to find the opening, which is why it was the last puzzle I solved, but after that I never really got stuck. I got through it in under 4 minutes in the second try when I did spot the opening. I started it when I saw the red timer start and thought "oh yeah there is extra time", while I was trying to figure out why I thought the Pata had 2 solutions. (My second solution has a 2x2 square.)<br />I'm sure it's somehow tradition by the fact Deb posted the links to my puzzles on the official page, which immensely increased traffic to my blog. The first part is now my most viewed post.Parahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367804879917808922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283950071005526162.post-12165863835610371392012-02-29T21:14:47.260+01:002012-02-29T21:14:47.260+01:00I raced through Braille as well.

I doubt any difficulty would justify spending 23 minutes on it and not even reaching half a solution.<br /><br />Looking forward to TVC XI and your practice puzzles. This could become a TVC tradition, probably already has :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
