All the Fun of the Fair - Correction
🕑 Added 2024-01-02 08:42:57 +0000 UTCDear Patreons,
With sincere apologies, we present a correction to the puzzle Tunnel of Love (the blue 3x3 box has moved!). Quite a lot of people have already solved the hunt, by making an assumption about pentomino shapes, and what counts as different. The intention of the rule wording was that any pentomino shape is the same as another even if it has been rotated and/or reflected. Apologies for the mistake in the grid however.
We are also changing the document uploaded in the post below.

I have the same issue. I think any must mean all, as otherwise there are multiple solutions. Or, if one is supposed to work out which to add, a specific number should have been given. Did you figure it out at all?

Trying to solve these wonderful puzzles on the last day, i managed to solve 1 to 4 but in Exit Strategy i struggle with the clues to add numbers from earlier puzzles. does the work ANY mean ALL? so all circled 4's and all digits clued by 11? if i do that i cannot add any thermo or pentomino, since they break with sudoku rules/green line. or could it be that an earlier solve wasn't correct (although i did get the solution correct box?)

Yes they can!

In Hall of Mirrors, can digits on a diagonal repeat if allowed by normal sudoku rules?

I couldn't type any numbers either.

Am I missing a trick here, puzzle 3 requires extensive numbering outside of the grid, but I cant type them in, Windows 10 and Chrome browser
all, diagonal as well

With tin can alley, when it says surrounded by X cells, are we looking at 4 adjacent cells i.e. connected by an edge, or diagonal as well?
