I am quit with this challenge.

A very nice balance between finding too few puzzles, and too few minimal.

Nice pattern!

Perhaps a surrender rule?

Is my understanding correct that anyone can start the next game anytime after Tuesday October 16, 2007 3:15 pm? JPF, will you once again update the rules on Page 1?

Thanks,

The patterns are isomorphic.
Did you start the new search for the second pattern from scratch? or did you use the puzzles of the first pattern?

Sorry, I did not note. So I started the new search.
How to check patterns are isomorphic ?

Good point Mauricio.

I should have seen that, even if the actual rules don't prohibit to propose an isomorphic pattern

Yes.

m_b_metcalf wrote:JPF, will you once again update the rules on Page 1?

I will do it tomorrow by 3.15 pm.
In addition to those mentionned before, I will add 2 rules:

penalty (50 pts) if a proposed puzzle doesn’t follow the rules or if the post is “edited”.
no isomorphic pattern to a previous one.
