Hard on the eyes and only suitable for the young!! Managed it with show wrong and guess work.

That was seriously difficult! This puzzle only has a tiny number of unaided solutions, even after several days.

Gareth, have you considered using the ratio of attempts vs unaided solutions (and perhaps the time to solve) to construct a more objective puzzle rating system? (I still find the user ratings unsatisfactory even after your reform of a few months ago.)

Unfortunately I had to close the window the first time I started this puzzle... Otherwise I would have had the fastest score (without aids).

Key

  • A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
  • Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
  • If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
  • Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
