[hzrngb]

Last match, Thursday, March 20,

finally, it is time for Rakesh Rai

Can he improves his performance and make a huge change in standings?



Good Luck!

[lenzo]

Many thanks and many compliments to Hzrngb, he had already won and yesterday he confirmed.

Here you can see the videos of my schemes.

Cubic: http://youtu.be/FjY2oetX8Os
Straight: http://youtu.be/XhFr4Xj_Mdg
Sum: http://youtu.be/iPDtBMSEUdA
Futoshiki: http://youtu.be/XhPjzyIryR0
Pool: http://youtu.be/T6H40Wc6Bzk

If anyone keeps track of his schemes I'd like to make a video with the solutions side by side. I think it would be very nice to see especially if the times are very similar and you could compare the various techniques of resolution.

Thanks. Nice idea. I think we should share our best video so we all can learn and improve our solving skills together. Sorry for late reply. I would like to talk about this later.

Last match, Thursday, March 20,

finally, it is time for Rakesh Rai

Can he improves his performance and make a huge change in standings?



Good Luck!

Probably too late to turn the tables now. I'll be happy if I manage even one win.
It was a real struggle to find five grids where I can pose a challenge.

Anyhow, The grids for tomorrow :

1) 1 and 2
2) Neighbours
3) Plus or Miinus
4) Modulo
5) Spiral

[hzrngb]

Hope you understand clearly the rules that I stated before. You can decide the number of variants that you want to play. Maybe you can 'gambling' by choosing only one variant.

Lenzo, how do you record the video? Can you share so that all of us can use the same way.


Next week, let start just one variant time challenge battle only. Each day everyone will take turn to be the victim and choose the variant while others will beat his/her time. I will make new standings and we will continue until we all agree to stop to play this battle. Player who made the shortest time solution has to submit the video so others can learn and try to make better and faster solution for next match.


An additional rule, variant which has been selected can no longer be selected unless all variants have been played. Want?


One question, you all want to play the game that does not use numbers?
-lampions
-nurikabe
-Mastermind

How about these all?
-ABC
-City
-Patchwork
-QGL
-Counting

Please give your feedback.

[rakesh_rai]

DONE.

Yes. That sounds reasonable.

I am OK with these as well.

[fenicia]

I' m able to play sudoku, I' m not able to play puzzles. I' m not interested to play puzzles. If our challenge is a sudoku challenge, I agree. If not, I can' t play, I' m not competitive.

[lenzo]

I' m able to play sudoku, I' m not able to play puzzles. I' m not interested to play puzzles. If our challenge is a sudoku challenge, I agree. If not, I can' t play, I' m not competitive.

I completely agree with Laura

[lenzo]

Lenzo, how do you record the video? Can you share so that all of us can use the same way.

...

I use a firefox plugin, VideoDownloadHelper that has the ability to record the flash frame in our case the frame of sudoku but any program capable of recording portions of the desktop does the same job.
VideoDownloadHelper is convenient because automatically selects the area to be recorded and does not waste a lot of time, about 1-2 seconds, which generally do not affect the contest.

[hzrngb]

I' m able to play sudoku, I' m not able to play puzzles. I' m not interested to play puzzles. If our challenge is a sudoku challenge, I agree. If not, I can' t play, I' m not competitive.

I like the phrase 'I'm not interested to play puzzles.' because me too.
So let just excluded all that. Hope Black Tiger and Rakesh Rai can accept it.


Ok thanks Lenzo. I will look on that later. Let just record our video starting from next week. So everyone should record their video every day and if your time is fastest one among us on that day, please don't mind to share it here. If not, you can keep the video or whatever you want to do.

Thanks to you all for the feedback.

[rakesh_rai]

So let just excluded all that. Hope Black Tiger and Rakesh Rai can accept it.

Of course.

[hzrngb]

[rakesh_rai]

Final table - my goal difference needs to be corrected. Also, my score with Black Tiger should be 5-0 not 4-1.
