With the symmetry constraint, you will almost certainly have a couple of extra clues that you didn’t need, but many of the ones that I have seen have got rather too many clues to really be a puzzle of any sort. I have a personal stash of about 20-30 of these now without having too many clues, and many have already been posted on this blog. I have been aware of some of those mentioned above – certainly Grant’s and those on Puzzle Picnic (I seem to recall really enjoying a couple of those). I’m always pleased to be made aware of more!<br><br>When you manage to get a couple of these that actually have some bite to them, then you have something rather more special. I think I have maybe 3-4 of these – 1 of which will be seen in the next month or two – that are really something to be proud of.<br><br>Thomas Collyerhttp://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/tcollyer/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031071943178978556.post-77843726271790202752011-05-15T11:56:55.000+01:002011-05-15T11:56:55.000+01:00Easy but not trivial; good one.I posted two of the...Easy but not trivial; good one.<br><br>I posted two of them on my own blog, and I have made several others – most of them are not very interesting, but they had the merit of making me realize what Para just said, as none of them is similar to the ones you have posted there.<br><br>Ours brunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031071943178978556.post-46800707327898300432011-05-14T16:27:47.000+01:002011-05-14T16:27:47.000+01:00You can find a bunch of these antisymmetric Masyus...You can find a bunch of these antisymmetric Masyus on puzzlepicnic too. Me and Fred actually made puzzles with this property at about the same time the first time around. Mathgrant did a few too. Always found it surprising how many unique puzzles with this property there seem to be as I found it very restrictive when I first started trying to design one.<br><br>Paranoreply@blogger.com
