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...
David Millar • 12/15/12 9:08 am
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)
David Millar • 12/15/12 5:54 pm
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.
