   [Number Game] A Real Challenge

This game would be easier if you could guess the same number twice in a turn. . . The original puzzle statement seemed to allow it, and I was confident in my answer until I found out that the 4 numbers guessed in each turn had to be distinct!

   [Number Game]

I found a nice solution, which was probably intended, after asking my questions yesterday. Tough one, though.

   [Coins]

i like that sort of puzzles. Super fine!

   [Coins]

Nice problem! Got an answer thru trial and error. Would be eager to know if there exist a generalized algorithm for such problems. But only at the end.

   [Coins]

Ultra fine business problem!

   [Coins] Difficulty

When I look at the scoreboard I see too many people still have the highest score possible. I appreciate the more difficult puzzle (which I consider this to be one of) to separate better at the top end of the scale :)

   correct answers

We dont know what are the incorrect answers and it will be nice if we know the incorrect answers.

   [5-Letter Code]

this is easy ....

   [5-Letter Code]

easy one

   [Arithmetic Mean of the Neighbors]

good one

   [6-Letter Code]

I love this game though it is a little easy.

   @borah

Last year the score board was updated after round 8, if I remember correctly, and again after rounds 12 and 16.

   When will the scoreboard be updated?

When will the scoreboard be updated?

   [Pattern] Change in wording

Dear PuzzleUp Contestants,

A number of fellow PuzzleUp contestants have sent remarks and asked for the clarification of the term "rotate" used in the question. After reexamining the text, we decided to use a clearer wording as follows: "...rotating another pattern (90, 180 or 270 degrees)".

   [Boat] @c_ekici

have faith in the force

   [Boat]

if my thinking is true it is an easy problem.

   general comment on participation

My suggestion on incresing the number of participants is to give at elast the correct answers to these lovely questions at the end of the competition for each participant in order to motivate them for the next run.My best regards to the organisers as the problems become more life based ones regardless of their degree of difficulty which is a subjective matter

   [Boat] Nice puzzle

Very nice puzzle :)

   [Boat]

"When two people are on board" means "when two people are on the boat"
I think.

Using this section, the contestans may vote for the popularity and the difficulty of a problem on a five point scale. The figures given on the PuzzleUp website is simply the arithmetic mean of these votes, expressed on a percentage scale.

You have the right to change your answer, as explained in Rule #9. Your last answer will be taken into account. If your answer is wrong, you will get zero points from that question.
