Puzzles[edit]

This round has puzzles that use different combinations of three variant rules. From the IB:

"Crossing: The loop is allowed to cross itself. The loop is not allowed to turn at the crossing.

Toroidal: The grid is toroidal, which means that the first and the last rows/columns are considered adjacent.

Liar: In every row and column there is exactly one clue that’s incorrect. Incorrect clue means that the clue describes the opposite property compared to the standard rules of the puzzle, e.g. In Pentominous the incorrect clue V would mean that the pentomino that contains this clue can not be a V pentomino."

All puzzles in this round were written by JinHoo Ahn.
