Hello, you've just said some of the magic words in my language. Might I interest you at all in the work of the UK Puzzle Association (http://www.ukpuzzles.org/)? I'll be doing the LMI timed test this weekend, far more in the hope of entertainment than any particular result.
Max, perhaps you might consider a GPS or GPS-enabled phone in the hope of interesting Welsh geocaches?
Gosh, there's a coincidence! I registered on the UKPA site like, well, yesterday or something like that. I will indeed be doing Sprint, and have suggested to the family that I need 90 minutes of uninterrupted peace and quiet just as soon as they like. There are several puzzle types in it that I'm very unfamiliar with though. Not just the rare ones, but I don't really know Tapa at all well.
I've done a couple of practices on the LMI site, and based on those I think I'll be about 80% of the way down the finishers. So we shall see.
Good places with Tapa to practice are PuzzlePicnic (http://www.puzzlepicnic.com/genre?tapa) (click on "Puzzles in this genre") and janko.at (http://www.janko.at/Raetsel/Tapa/index.htm), both of which probably also have examples of most of the other types with which you're not familiar.
Well, that was fun. I didn't submit many puzzles, but I did get all the ones I submitted right. And I solved another one immediately after the finish. So I just need to pick up speed really. Still have a few to figure out.
You did perfectly respectably, and your position will very probably be rather better than you had anticipated! You hammered me, not that that's saying much. :-)
Not an excuse, just an observation; you can ask people for uninterrupted quiet time as much as you like, but somehow it doesn't seem to work for cats!
