CHAIN
OPTIMIZATION
Create the
honeycomb chains by painting the adjacent honeycombs
at the
platform above with the different colours.
The chains must have at least three honeycombs.
Each honeycomb which forms a chain can have two neighbours at
maximum.

WARNING:
If two different chains are connected with each other according to chain
rules, they must be counted as one chain. And the numbers must be placed
according to this.
Namely; You cannot separate the chain which has 7 honeycombs(For example,
triple and tedrad chains). Otherwise both of these chains will be invalid.
The wrong chains in your solution don't invalidate your
solution. But, the honeycomb numbers at these chains don't be added to your
score as a positive multiplier. Besides, the honeycombs numbers affect your
score as negative (ullage).

examples to this warning:
|
VALID CHAINS
The chains with
4, 4 and 11 honeycombs
|
INVALID CHAINS
Only two blue chains are valid. |
VALID CHAINS
The chains with
3, 3, 3, 4
and 5 honeycombs |
 |
 |
 |
After than; Place the numbers which are 1 to 9 into the honeycombs in
the main diagram with the rule that there must be each numbers at least
once.
THE RULES:
1) There must be numbers at two honeycombs of each chains you created at
least. And sum of these numbers must show the honeycombs numbers in that
chains.
For instance, you cannot place number 5 into the only one honeycomb of a
chain which have 5 honeycombs.
You can place the numbers into the honeycombs as 1- 4, 2 - 3 or
1 - 2 - 2.
2) There can be numbers at maximum two of six honeycombs which are
adjacent neighbour of one honeycomb which has number. And these numbers
cannot be adjacent.
3)
There cannot be same number at none of the honeycombs where the
directions of six edges of a honeycomb which has number.

4) The numbers placed by
not obeying the rules about the number placement will make your solution
as invalid. So you will get 0 (zero) point from this puzzle.
5)
The honeycombs
which cannot create a chain will be accepted as ullage. The honeycombs
which form the chains whose honeycombs numbers is not equal with the sum
of the numbers on it will be accepted as ullage. The honeycombs which
form the chains formed by not obeying to the rules about the number
placement will be accepted as ullage. These ullages will decrease your
score.
SCORE CALCULATION
You will calculate your score by multiplying the honeycombs numbers
of the chains which you create.
If you have not more than one ullage, this score will be your
real score.
If your ullages are more than one; you will calculate your real score by
subtracting 6 base of your ullage number from your score.
For instance, if you
have 2 ullages; 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64 will decrease your score.
WARNING:
Paint the honeycomb you determined as ullage, with black colour.
You cannot place number into the honeycomb you determined as ullage.
If you don't paint the ullage honeycombs with black colour, that
chain will be completely invalid. So, the honeycombs which form that
chain will decrease your score.

SCORE: 6 - 4826809 |
SCORE: 6 - 4826809 |
SCORE: 6 x 12 = 72 |
Analyze the score calculation and the sample solutions carefully.
If the puzzle was asked for the numbers 1 to 4, you would calculate your
score like the examples' score calculations below:
INVALID
SOLUTIONS:
0 point
VALID
SOLUTIONS:
|
 |
 |
 |
SCORE: -15576
(7 x 7 - 15625) |
SCORE: 83
(7 x 7 x 3 - 64) |
SCORE: 189
(7 x 9 x 3) |
IMPORTANT:
If
sum of the numbers on a chain is less than honeycomb numbers,
that chain will be invalid and real honeycomb number at the chain
will be accepted as
ullage.
However, if
the sum of the numbers on a chain is more than honeycomb numbers, the
sum of the numbers will be accepted as ullage.
Ullages are calculated
for the total of the whole ullages at the platform. (Not one by one for
each chains)
ATTENTION!
THERE IS BONUS!
After the calculation of
your score, check the numbers you placed. If the numbers form a
number chain by obeying the chain rules, you will get bonus and you will
add this bonus to your score.
But, in order to
get the bonus, the chain must be formed with at least 6 numbers.
You will get the bonus as much as "(Product of the numbers at that chain)"
, from the number chains which are formed
with
6, 7 or 8 numbers.
You will get the bonus as much as
"( Product of the
numbers at the chain ) x ( Number count at the chain )"
, from the number chains which are formed
with
9, 10 or 11 numbers.
You will get the bonus as much as
"( Product of the
numbers at the chain ) x ( Number count at the chain ) x ( Sum of the
numbers at the chain )"
, from the number chains which are formed
with
12 or more numbers.
IMPORTANT WARNING:
The bonus obtained cannot be more than main
score! If your bonus more than your main score, your total scor will be
calculated by equalizing your bonus and your main score.
Look at the examples to the bonus below. (Expecially the last example!)
3 Examples to BONUS:
|
|
MAIN
SCORE: 3 x 5 x 5 x 6 = 450
BONUS:
NO
TOTAL SCORE:
450
Bonus < Score
|
|
MAIN
SCORE: 3 x 5 x 5 x 6 = 450
BONUS:
3 X 2 X 4 X 2 X 4 X 2 = 384
TOTAL
SCORE: 450 + 384 =
834
Bonus < Score
|
 |
MAIN
SCORE: 3 x 5 x 5 x 6 = 450
BONUS:
2 x 3 x 2 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 9 = 2592
TOTAL SCORE: 450 +
450 =
900
(Not 450+2592)
Bonus > Score :
Total Score = 900 |
F or instance, if you create a chain which fits to the rules and has 12
numbers, like
1-2-1-3-1-4-2-5-7-3-1-6;
2 x 3 x 4 x 2 x 5 x 7 x
3 x 6 = 30240
1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 4 +
2 + 5 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 6 = 36
Y ou will get bonus as much as
"30240 x 36 x 12 =
13.063.680"!
EXTRA BONUS !!
(FORCE THE LIMIT OF
YOUR INTELLIGENCE!)
If your number chain
is formed with 12 or more numbers and if there are the numbers which are
1 to 9 (there must be at least one number for each number 1 to 9) at
this chain, add 10% to your total score
you calculated with your bonus points!!
Enter your total score as answer.
After
you had entered your score, whether in the 24 hours solution sending period
or
whether you do not satisfy with your sent score and you had reached to the
better one,
if you need you can send your new score with the solution file by using your
second answer right.
If you need you can use your third answer right with the same rules.
New Rule:
The solution file cannot
be sent after the deadline.
So, the competitors who entered the answer at last hours of the last day
must remember that the solution file should be sent before at 00:00:00.
However, in your second answer, the sending day and the time of your
answer
and the solution file will be taken to calculate your point and including
your bonus points you will get %5 decreased points of your gained total
points.
Also, in the same way, if you sent your third answer you will get %10
decreased points of your gained points which will be calculated according to
the sent day and time of your solution.
Sending
answer rights are limited with 3.
And no matter your last score is greater
than the previous ones only the last answer will be taken to calculate your
point.
Therefore, you should think of the advantages and the disadvantages of
sending one more answer.
IMPORTANT!
Also you are
supposed to email
your solution
to either
turkzeka@turkzeka.com
or
yilmazekici@gmail.com
after entering your
answer within
24 hours.
You may send your
solution in any
common format such
as image, Excel,
Word.
Add your user name,
password and the
answer that you
entered to your
solution as well.
If you do not send
your solution within
24 hours and/or do
not add these
required info,
your
answer will
not be accepted.
POINTS:
The
owner(s) of the best
score will be
rewarded with 200
points,
and others who
achieve
to find
more than 2/5 of
the best score will
be rewarded
according to the
ratio based on the
best.
(If the best score
is 100, 41 will be
required in order to
be rewarded)
"The bonus of the
first 3 hours" or "The
bonus of the first 3
answer" will
be given if the
score is in the best
(top) 3 rewarded score.
Top solvers will be
rewarded with daily
bonus as usual (65,
60, 55, ... , 10, 5,
0),
but the others will
be rewarded with a
ratio based on
their score.
Also an extra bonus of 75
points
will be distributed
among the top
solvers.
The 2nd best
solver(s) will
receive the half of
a share of the 1st
best solver(s).
The 3rd best
solver(s) will
receive the half of
a share of the 2nd
best solver(s).
For example, let’s
assume 3 competitors
found the 1st best
score,
5 competitors found
the 2nd best score
and 9 competitors
found the 3rd best
score;
Three 1st best
scorers will receive
75 / 3 = 25 extra
points
Five 2nd best
scorers will receive
25 / 2 = 13 extra
points
Nine 3rd best
scorers will receive
13 / 2 = 7 extra
points.
If nobody send the answer in the first
hour; the first competitior who send the correct answer in second hour gets
35 bonus points and the others get 20 bonus points.
If nobody send the answer in the first two
hours; the first competitior who send the correct answer in third hour gets
35,
the second competitor gets 20 and the others get 10 bonus points.
If nobody send the answer in the first three hours; the first competitor who
send the correct answer gets 35,
the second competitor gets 20 and the third get 10 bonus points. (No matter
the entering time)
If there is only one
correct answer in the first three hours, the competitor who send this
correct answer gets 35 bonus points,
the first competitor of the other competitors who send correct answer after
the first 3 hours gets 20,
the second competitior gets 10 and the others can't get this bonus point,
they get only "Day Bonus".
