I cant remember ever having taken ten minutes for a daily puzzle. Did anyone see anything that you think others probably missed? Or was is this just a strategic guess type puzzle? |
Tilps Kwon-Tom Obsessive Puzzles: 6720 Best Total: 18m 37s | Posted - 2007.02.28 00:24:26 this puzzle was evil - I made a guess - made some progress by doing some nasty nested guesses in my head (which I am not good at) and eventually just Assumed that I was right since I had made it half way. I think this is the first time where I have decided to assume and continue, with the justification that I had so little progress made before the assumption started that if I had to completely reset, it would only take a couple of seconds to get where I was upto beforehand. Even then I had to make another guess to finish it off. |

Edit: My solution (which I've removed) was flawed. Let me try to fix it.

Anyway, I found it very tricky too... but at least the 'wrong' wasn't too bad! |

This one, I got a good time on by just letting my subconscious do the hard work. It can often see the solution without relying on any logical patterns. Woman's intuition, if you will. |

On top, I had a network outage, and spent about 5 minutes fixing this after having finished the puzzle in about 7-8 minutes. Ouch. I guess there is no hope of convincing the Powers that Be to correct my score - especially since i don't know exactly how long I took. |
