Forsmarts Puzzle Forum

well done !!!
congratulations

stefano

Great news. Congrats!

Each of 5 qualifying parts lasted 35 minutes.

Part 1. Assorted

1. Snake
2. Tree
3. Domino
4. Two cubes
5. Pills
6. Subtraction
7. Policemen
8. ABC-connections
9. Shops
10. Rectangles
11. Robots
12. Multiplication

1,2,3,5,8,12 are quite standard, so here are the descriptions of the rest.

4. Two cubes
Construct two cubes using the given elements. Each cube consists of two elements.
6. Subtraction
Reconstruct the expression. All digis are drawn as shown above, but are partially erased. (Note: for addition there is also unique answer (according to A.Bogdanov, I didn't check), so you can try to solve it this way too).
7. Policemen
Each policeman standing at the crossing, observes all the convergent streets. Place four policemen so that every street is observed.
9. Shops
Starting from any parking (closest crossing to P-sign) visit all the shops (black rectangles) and finish you route at another parking. Some streets allow only one-way traffic. The route cannot cross or retrace itself.
10. Rectangles
Divide the grid into some rectangles of different sizes (XxY and YxX simultaneously are also not allowed), so that each rectangle contains any number of digits equal to its height and width (but at least one digit per rectangle).
11. Robots
There are five robots in the grid (marked by letters A,B,C,D,X). The goal is to lead robot X to the marked cell. Each robot can move horizontally or vertically until it sets against another robot (there are no walls outside the grid!) Robots can move in any order.

If there are questions about the puzzles I treat as classic - feel free to ask.

Translation of instructions for the rest of the parts are coming soon.

In the docs it's written 30 minutes.
So, 30 or 35 is correct?

OK, I wil try myself.
Where can I see the results to compare with?

exactly these corrections brought Andrey higher than Riad

Yes, and I think this is not correct. I think more fair in the case of equal results would be consideretion of all five results, or total sum of the points. Unfrotunately I did not notice this during competition - I was too nervous.

Part 3. Tents

For all the puzzles, except the first one, difference from standard rules is given.

1. Standard Tents
2. Tents can share corners.
3. Each tree has one tent, which can be bound through the side or corner.
4. Each tree has two tents, which can be bound through the side or corner.
5. Each tree has three tents, which can be bound through the side or corner. Numbers outside show the maximal number of tents for the rows and columns.
6. Hexagonal. Each tree has two tents.
7. Triangular. Each tree has two tents, which can be bound through the side or corner.
