Puzzle #707: Advent Calendar Day 14
Posted December 13, 2012 • #advent2012 #areafiftyone #slitherlink #masyu #corral
I almost couldn't get this tile up in time, but luckily Tyler Hinman came through and saved the day by letting me know how to get Inkscape working again. I like to think of him as the Santa Claus of the crossword world.

I thought the same about the bonus puzzle ... mind you, it looks like I made a mistake in the main puzzle in the top right corner... need to reprint the grid AGAIN!!

That's my mistake (again). I didn't realize there was a bonus puzzle down there while editing the top half of the sheet...

May I ask if the sums on the fourth column (top) and first row (right) really are 15 or should be 12...?
Just wondering if my solution is wrong...

15 is the correct sum. I don't want to spoil the solution, but if you ROT13 this text it should give you a good indication of why it might seem to be 12:

Oh, I just get it why I look at my solution as wrong, I forgot how that works...
Thanks for that... :)

No worries - hope you enjoyed that little puzzle. I may try doing that type more in the future... :)

I'm not reading all the comments every day, so forgive me if I'm repeating/missing something. Is there a problem I should be aware of? There very much seems to be an ambiguous cell in the TR corner. Is there a fix? (Also, Is there a day 15? It's now 16th where I am)

Sorry for the delay. 15th should be up soon and 16th shortly after. If there seems to be an ambiguous cell, please e-mail me with what you have so far.

Nice logic. However, I can't see any difference between this bonus puzzle and the one on day 4.
