The puzzle seems to have two solutions that work. One of them has two 7's in the 21 cage at the lower left, but still gives credit for a solution. (One solution has 3-5-6-7 in that cage, the other 2-5-7-7.) |

What do you mean by "still gives credit for a solution"? (I'm trying to reproduce this, but failed so far :( ) |

When I put 2-5-7-7 in the 21 cage (and solve the rest of the puzzle), the whole thing turns green and says I solved the puzzle. |

I'm not sure. I entered it both ways, got green on both, but I don't remember which way I submitted it first (and therefore got the points for). |

All fixed now, thanks again for reporting. Uncovered a tricky bug in the code that checks the solution numbers: the numbers sequence was seen as a large integer, so the comparison failed for large puzzles, because the integer was too large (!) (although I would have liked that in that case the comparison says the numbers are not equal..) Edit: amazingly, one minute after I put up the fix, someone submitted a solution with the double 7! (which now wasn't accepted) (because they loaded the page earlier, the "submission prevention" wasn't in there yet) |
