Puzzle #712: Advent Calendar Day 19
Posted December 18, 2012 • #advent2012 #areafiftyone #slitherlink #masyu #corral
We're in the final week of tiles for the Advent Calendar, and I can think of no better way to break in a new notepad than a bonus puzzle to go with the daily tile.

It matches what's on my original, and I just rechecked tile 11 as well at the request of another solver and it seemed fine as well. If you're able to do so, can you please e-mail me what you have so far? I'm not seeing where the problems are but it's possible I've missed something. (Again.) If that's the case, I'm really sorry.
I think this is the last time I'll try doing the Advent Calendar concept, because it's becoming quite clear that I can't put up something without it being found as unsolvable.

Interestingly, I have no conflict between day 11 and 19 (or issue wth day 19)... in fact it let me confirm which of the options for 11 was correct

I had a problem with Day 19 at first, but found it was my mistake as I treated the Corral clue of 3 as a Slitherlink clue and then had trouble with the Corral clue of 9. I tried again and everything seems OK so far. Every day I will now be making a copy of what I have done so far before I start the next day so I don't have to start from scratch if I make another mistake.

"I think this is the last time I'll try doing the Advent Calendar concept, because it's becoming quite clear that I can't put up something without it being found as unsolvable."
Why? Nothing wrong with it, and no mistakes (of your making!) so far. It's a little irritating not to be able to solve the actual puzzle piece provided by itself on a day-to-day basis, but hey, it's your contest. If an opinion was sought, I'd like to see a series of individual puzzles where a section (lines or clues) from one day's solve was required for the next day's.
FYI, so far, I've made one transcribing mistake, and failed to transcribe one clue.

Actually tile 6 had a mistake :(

Everyone makes mistakes. Unless it's a real pain for you to fix it, I don't mind having to back up and change something I've already done, and the calendar concept is a lot of fun!

Yeah. I had to restart waaaay more times because of my own errors

Please tell me this is right/wrong before I print out the calendar again.
