Thanks!
I didn’t know English was not her first language, but most of the puzzles are worded well. I think we should be allowed to ask questions for clarification sometimes.
I also didn’t do a closed loop at first but I re-read the puzzle and re-submitted my answer. So you missed a part of the rule in 56.
According to the rules of the last puzzle, I think my answer is still correct.
No, an "unbroken loop" is not the same as a "closed loop". Although the latter can have two different explanations, an "unbroken loop" does not dictate the start- and endpoint to be the same. In fact, that would be weird in real life (take the Hyperloop for example). With a loop (in travel) you can traverse in both directions, that's all. I regarded that puzzle as a snake game.
So after seeing the correct (accepted) answer, I understood what the intention was. But that was too late for me, obviously. Asking a question was not in my mind, as I hadn't realized that ksolymosi might think of a loop in a different way. Also, I kinda agree that allowing questions clutters and takes away part of the fun (in other words - getting what is meant is part of it).
Having said that. It still can be frustrating when that happens. In any case, I wholeheartedly agree with the notion that ksolymosi decides no matter what.
Your explanation of loop just went over my head there. LoL.
Sure. Questions do clutter a bit but getting a clear understanding is more beneficial to the fun and the game in my opinion. Also, I think more people might participate if they have a better understanding of the puzzle at hand.
Yeah, I agree that no matter what it is ksolymosi’s decision since it is her game and her rules. She puts in all the hard work for creating the fun for us.
Well, your points are noted, I'll try to do my best to improve my explanations on the instructions... :-)
