Şaka bir yana sorulardan ve ilk on'a girmeyi kıl payı kaçırsam da sonuçtan memnun kaldım. Böyle bir olanağı bize sunduğunuz için tekrar teşekkürler.   admin  |  4.05.2010 22:46:57 Serhat Bey, Evet, ilk 10'a giren Türk yarışmacılara kitaplarımdan biri hediye olarak gönderilecek.

Great contest again. Thank you Yilmaz and Erol. I have submited my answers for the first 6 puzzles. But, I haven't enough time for the optimizations :( I look forward to see the results. Good luck to all. Helen from England.   tae14m  |  19.04.2010 17:27:39 Sayın Ekici ve soruları hazırlayan Sayın Kasapoğlu, bir beyin jimnastiği yapma şansını verdiğiniz için teşekkür ediyorum. Soruları genelde beğendiğimi söylemeliyim. Herkese iyi şanslar.   admin  |  13.04.2010 12:03:56 @renatoab, Yes, like those numbers. Good luck...   renatoab  |  11.04.2010 19:34:16 "This means that all numbers in all the rows and columns must be changed." What do you mean by numbers in a row or a column? Like numbers 498575 and 485369?   admin  |  6.04.2010 22:49:17 @bughitza, You gotto find the answer of your question, yourself. Good luck...   bughitza  |  6.04.2010 12:05:07 Hello, good puzzles, indeed. I have a question: In the figure of the first puzzle the colours of balls are accurate or randomly ? I mean, the second figure depicts the situation that in the text is given like impossible. So, i.e. , all the blue balls have the same weight ? Because in that situation the second figure is in contradiction with the text.   Gotroch  |  4.04.2010 02:28:10 Hello, Thanks for another round of Turkzeka competition. However, there are few things I don't like much with the new format: a) Puzzles (except Sudoku and Colour Operation) have clear instruction and we can solve them immediately. What I liked in the previous editions of Turkzeka competition the most was the fact, that we have to figure out ourselves what to do, then solve and then find answer for submission. b) Time effect - Now we have a lot of time to solve pictorial puzzles. It was allways very thrilling to solve puzzles in time limit to get bonus points and fight with other competitors for the fastest time. This is now impossible with new rules.(Also pictorial puzzles will have minimal effect to final results - all will be decided by optimizers) So these are 2 things which make this competition less interesting then how it was before. Thanks Erol for the puzzles, I will be solve it with fun, but I wish and hope you will return to old succesful format.   admin  |  3.04.2010 22:57:11 Please, enter your all answers with one submition possibly after solving all the puzzles to prevent the record pollution. Yilmaz Ekici   admin  |  3.04.2010 22:55:38 Kayıt kirliliği olmaması açısından, mümkün olduğunca soruların tamamını çözdükten sonra, cevapların hepsini birden giriniz. Yilmaz Ekici   admin  |  3.04.2010 21:49:40 progheal, Here are the answers to your questions: 1) A. 2 mistakes B. 2 mistakes C. 3 mistakes 2) 100000000000 3) Yes   progheal  |  3.04.2010 20:49:34 1. About Puzzle #8 KakKuro Optimization: How many "mistakes" are there in the following situations? (A) Two gray cells in the same row have 12 and 21; (B) Three gray cells in the same row have 12, 13, and 14; (C) Three gray cells in the same row have 11, 12, and 13. 2. About the threshold of Puzzle #8: Is '100 billion' means 10^11? (i.e. in short scale, since in long scale it would be 10^14) 3. About both optimization puzzles: Do we need to round the result to integer in the score calculation if the division gives non-integer result?   torrent  |  3.04.2010 19:10:55 Dear Yılmaz, Thank you for these puzzles again. I also thank Mr.Kasapoglu. good luck to all! Öztürk Yıldırım   MYSToph  |  3.04.2010 14:46:26 Thank you Yilmaz for another round of Turkzeka Competition. Good luck and a lot of fun to everyone! Christoph   admin  |  2.04.2010 02:40:59 Stefano, Here are the answers to your questions: 1) Correct. 2) Getting same score at the optimization puzzles is very low probability. So, same scores will show the corperations. Competitors are expected to solve the problem on their own. Good luck.   sf2l  |  1.04.2010 23:59:12 Yilmaz I have two questions 1) I understand this year there will be no bonus for the early submission of the solution of the puzzles (both optimization and pictorials)-correct? 2) To what extent is cooperation between players allowed?   admin  |  1.04.2010 22:54:35 Yarışmaya başlamadan önce yarışma kurallarını, cevaplarınızı göndermeden önce ise soruda belirtilen cevap formatını dikkatlice okuyunuz. Herkese başarılar... Before the start to the competition read the rules and before posting your answer read the answer format specified at the puzzle text, carefully. Good luck to all... Yilmaz Ekici
