I'm posting this event here too, so that no one who is even slightly interested will miss out. Since the Kuma.ee website is down, many people have probably wondered what happened and whether this competition is still taking place. It is. The event has been entered into the events calendar, which also contains all the necessary information for participating in the competition. The competition guide with the tasks that will be given to solve will probably be released on Sunday. This year the World Cup will be held in China! Good luck to everyone and share the information!
Sample assignments available.
Results- http://kuma.ee/loogika/tulemused/
I would like to check the results before trying to solve the problem myself. Is that still possible (i.e. get blank worksheets from somewhere)?
The competition tasks are on the same page as the results. Just select "Competition tasks" from the menu at the top and there will be a link to the pdf file.
Once again, something was not right. Because after printing out the problems, it turned out that Kakuro and Killer Sudoku had missing numbers, which made solving impossible.. for example, instead of 16 there was 1 and instead of 10/20 there was 0, etc. Which of course doesn't mean that I would have done everything then ;) I've been struggling with a couple of previously unknown problems for a long time now and I couldn't solve the ones I knew how to. The explanation of the Japanese mosaic was also incomplete (I was sure that the square with the number should be colored in anyway because the explanation mentioned that it was included) and I quickly found that something didn't add up and threw that solution aside as well.
This is very strange, because it shows everything beautifully for me and also when printed (I just printed out another extra copy of some pages) everything is clearly visible. In Japanese mosaic, the number shows the number of all neighbors that are colored (including the square itself where the number is located).
In the Japanese mosaic, it could also be mentioned that the square itself MAY NOT (although it can) be painted. Nothing else. But sometimes I take these 2 scrap sheets with me when we meet somewhere :)
To understand the instructions, it is always recommended to look at how the example problem has been solved. This gives a clear picture of what needs to be done.
