Now with 100% more puzzles
* (Fake Manifold money that is) Every year around November or so I come back to Manifold to make my annual trades on the various MIT Mystery Hunt markets. After doing so I noticed in the related markets section something intriguing.

I did not participate in the 24 Hour Puzzle Competition (24HPC), as I m nowhere near good enough at solving logic puzzles to really justify spending so much money to fly out and spend several days at an international (even if somewhat light-hearted) puzzling event. However, I was involved in helping write some puzzles, at the [ hellip
Disclaimer 1: Yes I know it is nearly 3 months after Mystery Hunt. Just clearing out some drafts. Disclaimer 2: this sounds a lot more like a log because I stuck to the script of the Activity Log a bit too much. I m sorry about the decreased readability of this post. But I don t really [ hellip
Akari rules: lightbulbs light up all orthogonal straight lines until hitting a black square. Place lightbulbs in some white squares such that all white squares are lit up. Lightbulbs cannot light up each other. Furthermore numbers indicate the number of orthogonally adjacent lightbulbs
