When solving the Kuromasu example, it made me wonder whether the remaining white cells can be orthogonally connected through the clue cells, or whether all the white cells had to be touching and the clue cells blocked the white cell connections.

Exciting looking mix here. I'm looking forward to it.

Has there been any date set for the Puzzles?

Morning Liane For the Twin Killer in Sudoku round 5, I’m a bit confused. It’s a pair of identical solutions but the cages are different in each grid and together they’ll give enough information, but not separately? The Coded First Seen Snake in Puzzle round 3 has no solution in the instruction bookl...

Hi Liane. Have I missed the instructions for Round 5?

I meant to ask this after it appeared in the U.K. Championships, but now it's come up in the Puzzle GP, it has become more pressing.

How do you solve Clouds?

Yes! That's exactly what happened. How frustrating! Thanks, Gareth.

Can we get email reminders for these competitions please?

Was there an email reminder of this competition? I'm disappointed to have missed out!
