Forsmarts 9th Anniversary Squared Contest (3rd / 4th December,2011)

All puzzles in this contest are “squared”, meaning there are four of each kind, forming a 2x2 Square. Clues in the grey cells are common for both adjacent grids. Finding their complete content is a part of solution.

Points are given for every single puzzle solved (but only if it is a part of entire solution of the “squared” puzzle). If the entire “squared” puzzle is solved (all 4 answer keys are correct) the participant is awarded with the additional bonus.

The answer key will be either 2 rows or 2 columns. The empty cells should be marked by “-”; battleships, tents, coral and snake parts - by “X”, numbers and letters should be entered as they are.

Duration of the contest is 120 minutes + 10 minutes extra time. There will be a penalty for the submission during extra time: 0.2 points per second (12 points per minute).
