Just finished this on a plane after working on it for months on and off. Really great puzzle; I could tell I was solving it the way you intended.

I guess I’ll leave the solution on then until I can think of a prize and a puzzle that can’t be solved with any known solvers, like mike’s variant.

Okay, points taken. I agree the solution might need to be there…

My competitiveness is sometimes unreasonably high, once in a while in four years.

David has a good point, and I suppose it would be a bigger inconvenience for someone who is stuck or made a mistake somewhere to not have the solution than for the solution to be available.

However, it would be fun to have a competitive aspect to the saturday specials

Charmommom, I have posted the beginning of a visual walkthrough here:

I take an opposite view to udosuk – I like the solution together with the puzzle so I do not waste time chasing ghosts (mistakes…)and getting frustrated

A walkthrough and/or some of those new techniques would be great. Only way to learn!

That would be a good idea. I was modeling my posts after djape’s since he posts solutions along with the puzzles.
Thanks for the feedback!
