now contains the latest status

it updates with each game entry

after the game closes the last post will contain the final tally

beautiful!!

so now i must ask,
why is the status still being posted here after every 10 entries?

if you just need the synchronizatoin with the forum-clock,
you get "The time now is---" whenever you refresh the main page

I figured there would be some differing opinions
and I could possibly just change the frequency to hit a happy medium

also, you'll note that the forum does not change the post date, nor
does it add a last edited date when the last post is edited
and I was concerned that doing a delete and then a new post in rapid succession
from a script would sometimes get a not so fast error from the forum

thanks, gsf, the light begins to dawn

the up-to-date status (well, almost up-to-date)
is always available in the other Topic,
but that other Topic isn't flagged as updated
therefore the players may not notice it's been updated

In order to reward Mauricio on his victory, here is his Prize, a Samurai based on his 9.3/9.3/9.2 submission. Outside the (empty) overlap boxes, his puzzle forms the central puzzle, the other four being isomorphs.

Code: Select all: . . 1 . 7 . 4 . . . . 6 . 8 . 5 . . . 7 . 1 . 3 . 6 . . 8 . 6 . 1 . 7 . 9 . . . 6 . . . 7 4 . . . 7 . . . 8 . 1 . . . . . 8 . . 6 . . . . . 9 . 3 . 9 . . . 5 . 6 1 . 4 . . . 2 . 7 . 5 . . . . . 9 . . 2 . . . . . 4 . 2 . . . 3 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 1 . . . 6 . 4 . 6 . 8 . . . 1 . 4 . . . 7 . 9 . 3 . . . 5 . 2 . . . . . 5 . . . . . 3 . 7 . . . 1 . . . . . 7 . 4 . 6 . . . 8 . 5 . 8 . . . . . 6 . . . 4 . 8 . . . . . 4 . . . . . 9 . 4 . . . 8 . 4 . 6 . . . 5 . 7 . . . 1 . 3 . 8 . 1 . . . 3 . . . . . 9 . . . . . 8 . . . 9 . 4 . . . . . 5 . . 1 . . . . . 2 . 6 . 1 . . . 2 . 3 3 . 5 . . . 7 . 8 . 2 . . . . . 1 . . 7 . . . . . 5 . 7 . . . 6 . . . 4 6 . . . 3 . . . 1 . 9 . 3 . 5 . 7 . . 4 . 8 . 2 . 6 . . . 2 . 7 . 3 . . . . 7 . 6 . 8 . .

[Edit: following the posts of Glyn and Tarek, I determined that there are, indeed, four solutions to this Samurai. Apologies.]

Are you sure? The bottom right wing is not solved, although you say it is.

P.S. We have to wrap this up quickly as Game is about to start.
