Skeeter, Please add your information. I think Patrick should add it on to your stickie, or make it a separate one in 'Solving Strategies' I have tried to work with Beaker, but we have agreed that what I have tried to help them with can be subtle. I grew up with working with different bases. Perhaps that flexibility is hard to learn, maybe its like learning a new language, its best if you learn it as a child. @ Patrick, If you decide that chapters should be longer, please consider making more smaller puzzles - 6x6 through 8x8. Please do not add five 10x10s of each kind I can not speak for others. I use a lot of trial and error on the book puzzles. That requires a great deal of erasure. I assume the ability to do these puzzles online will allow user to save partially and totally solved puzzles. If my assumptions are accurate, I know it will help me, and perhaps help others with tougher puzzles. Second, I assume one will only be allowed to turn in two puzzles per day. I know I work as many puzzles in a day as possible and build up a number of puzzles that are solved ready to be turned in. I am asking if you have devised a mechanism to hold our solved puzzles until they are turned in. |

Hi, eclipsegirl. My bitwise AND tables were posted on Sunday, June 10, 2018 under "Solving strategies and tips" on the English language forum. https://www.calcudoku.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1069 I'm not sure if the link above will work, so I've described where my tables can be found just in case. |

Hi, pnm. By "error checking", I meant error checking software for user-submitted puzzles. There was an issue with bertoldo's 9x9 user-made puzzle since the cages weren't specified in the proper order (left to right, top to bottom). You recently mentioned that you would temporarily suspend user-created puzzles until you had better error checking software. That's what I'd been referring to in my previous post and I'm looking forward to more user-created puzzles. |

(thought you meant the online error checking of the AND operator) |

It sounds great and I'm looking forward to trying out some new variations. Any thoughts on likely publication date, Patrick? |

I just need to create the 10 extra "variations" puzzles (and these take the most time, coming up with a variation, and a lot of testing to get a puzzle of the right level). And a new cover Any suggestions, a different scary animal? |
