My 2007 USPC results

My target goal was 250.

My actual score (presuming no typos) was... 180.

I'm feeling really discouraged about now. Doubly so in that I felt confident going in (in the instructions the puzzles seemed reasonable, and I prepared hard).

I got about 2/3 through the Kakuro but the combinatorial explosion at the end was just too much for me to finish it off.

The Masyu didn't seem to succumb to logic at all. I had to use uniqueness to get anywhere, and I still didn't finish.

Normally Fridge Magnets would be my thing but I just sat there staring.

Same for the Double Murder.

Favorite puzzle: The Fences variant. It really felt like an entirely new puzzle that I'd never tried before, yet I got it smoothly.

Best performance: No Parking. At least there was *something* to help retain my ego.
