imagine now in voice of snooker tournament presenter (what's his name?):
Round 216: hexagonal battle ships

wow, there is a whole science behind this, I may yet swap Sudokos for this

Maybe even easier than the rounds before, but looking good Anyway same as before, except the ships can be pointed in more possible directions (still surrounded by water though- no! rocks)

forgot: PMs until tomorrow 'eveningish' any place

[snookersfun]

so before I forget again:
Monique in with a perfect answer to R216 already! Congratulations!!
But don't let anybody be discouraged by that...
Harder hexes to follow soon!!!

[snookersfun]

and here it is! Take that Monique! Can't keep her idle

Round 217: hexagonal battle ships, advanced

PMs initially until tomorrow night
...and d_g seems to be stuck in one of those submarines

news flash:
Robert battled the hexagonal waters of R216 successfullly as well.
Congrats!!

[snookersfun]

and, what can I say? Monique solved R217 speedily as well
but we will let the others do some catching up now

edit: and Robert joined Monique less than 1 hour later well done!!!

[snookersfun]

guess what, the 'boss' graced us with answering a puzzle as well.
Congrats d_g on round 215!

Next answer can therefore be on the thread now (I am really hoping for a nice pic from Abextra again)


edit: and I just got to my pagers,
Dantuck solved R217. Very well done! Congrats

[abextra]

guess what, the 'boss' graced us with answering a puzzle as well.
Congrats d_g on round 215!

Great news, Snookersfun and welcome back, d_g!

Hope this solution works...

Whats this all about? A new snooker table set up?

Explain please!

[snookersfun]

@ Abextra
works a charm!
Thank you!
So much nicer than d_g's scribbles (but we wont complain)

@Paul: arrange snooker balls on a cut down part of table with blue cloth (kind of in battleship formation)

[PaulTheSoave]

I want to participate. Bring on the rules!
