Toketa? Selection


Here are some notes about my creations for Toketa? Selection.
I made 3 puzzles, which were distributed from the remaining pool (, avoiding some types).

Araf 1:
Prepared to match the harder one. I intended easy and logical path, and a bit of aesthetics as a spice. I was anxious when I got multiple "less than a minute with intuition" feedbacks, but it seems okay in the whole set.

Graffiti Snake 2:
Free creation. Intended first step is "the center cell must be white from topological reason". This is not required, and hard to figure out, but a rewarding back door, at least.

Max Arrow Castle Wall 1:
Again prepared after the second one, and again, my object was easy one. The path is narrow but simple, and you don't need to count more than 3!


I feared that the test was decided by intuitive ones, and there were some exchanges between practice and test. I think it was an acceptable level as a result. For me, the best way to do with intuitive puzzle is to be better at logical part and leave enough time to be intuitive (, or move on to whole-check mode).
