rajeshk - 2010-08-13 12:43 PMWhat about putting the tester name for the test?
I think that's a valid point. The tester name can be displayed after/with the author.

Updated HP results.

Given that WPC is coming up soon, Sudoku Tests take a break now. The next Sudoku test is planned around early November.

Also, we are planning to have 2 puzzle tests in October. Most likely on 9th and 16th. Details will be updated in the forum as soon as we have more information.

I think I should take time to solve quietly some puzzles before doing puzzles tournament, as I did with sudoku. At the beginning, it doesn't help to have time pressure. I need time to really understand logic of each puzzle. there aren't lot of puzzles with which I'm quite comfortable to try to be fast on solving (sudoku of course, kakuro, skyscrapers... all these things that looks like sudoku )
But the problem is: when I have time, I prefer doing sudoku rather than other puzzles

Yes, but don't worry, chess knowledge or experience doesn't need to solve puzzles. It is enough to know the movement of pieces, and I think that everyone knows.

its still a better idea to put 0 scores particepant in the final results,it gives at least a sense of participation and improve up.

Yep... it seems like yesterday, but we have completed 12 Sudokus and 12 puzzles tests excluding the national championships.

Thanks to all participants for making the tests more and more competitive as months pass by.

The future tests will be posted on forum as and when they are planned, so just keep checking in the forum, every few days and you'll know.

For your second query, you can see a list of all the past Puzzle tests here. Click on the test name for the link to it, where you will find download links for the puzzle booklet and instruction booklet. Download those, use the password where necessary and practice those.

That was all in 2012 from LMI. Hope you enjoyed and had fun throughout the year. We'll start year 2013 with "Best of LMI" contests, but before that we will check some statistics about 2012, like we did last year. So stay tuned.

So a slight recollect at the end of the year 2012 from a personal perspective.Introduced to this site by a friend of mine
during May, IPC 2012 was the first puzzle test that i planned to take..Due to some reason or the other i could not.

Then after taking part in TIMES sudoku championship in july my interest in sudokus began to grow manifold...From being literally a no solver
in sudokus to a medium solver to a confident solver i thank LMI fully for the improvement that i have got...A site that is so well
administered with prim and proper replies to any queries be it sudokus or puzzles.

Earlier 70 - 80 % of my free time would be spent playing chess in chesscube a site that i was crazy about and analyzing the positions
with powerful chess engines.Now situations have reversed to such an extent that the site that i used to frequent and moderated is rarely visited
nowadays!!Such is the interest that LMI has managed to give me in sudokus and puzzles..

I realise the transition that i have gone through because of the prompt replies i got through from the stuck sudokus..That was
the period where i feel i improved a lot solving wise .My scores doubled every month after September beginner's.The good thing about LMI is that
you can learn as much as you enjoy.

I once again thank LMI for the wonderful time it provided me this year and a happy christmas and an advance happy new year to all LMI
members.I wish 2013 for LMI turns out to be a bumper success just as 2012 was !!!!

There is a May puzzle test, on 18-19 May. You don't need to register; if you want to participate, check the current tests at top right corner when the test has started (link opens from a week before the test, for instruction booklet and other stuffs), log in, and start the test when you feel you're ready.

I'm not sure when May Sudoku test is; probably none, since there are many (two) WPF Sudoku Grand Prix tests in the month, and LMI doesn't really want their tests to clash with them.

Indeed, there is no Sudoku test in May because of the said reasons.
