Nice set of puzzles. Fun test. I felt as this test anyway doesn't count for ratings, I would have preferred bit more time (90 min test). I was able to solve all puzzles but may be slow, but i continued solving after the time is over and I realized few of the high pointers later were very easy in comparison to few other low pointers. But anyway completed all puzzles. May be took 30-40 min more considering I took 20 min to do Coded Snake big pointer (was doing lot of mistakes due to some un-necessary assumptions).
Thanks ashish for this set.

Oh it doesn't? That's a pity, why not?

Annual contests have never been included in ratings. I'm sure there has been a discussion somewhere hidden deep inside the forums, I don't quite remember now.
Will let someone else answer :-)

A nice set of puzzles. A pretty easy set, too; maybe the first set in puzzle tests ever where I finished all puzzles in time. (That's a good thing, of course; easy puzzles are better than devilishly difficult ones.) All points roughly match my timing, for the sole exception of the 70-pointer that I intuited through in 52 seconds. Although to be honest Loop Snake is very vulnerable to intuition, so scoring it is a difficult matter, so I'll say it's a job well done.

Total number of participants were 102. I hope everyone enjoyed the contest.
Congratulations to Uvo , EKBM and Rob for top 3 places overall.. Congrats to Prasanna, amit and rajesh for top 3 Indians.
Being for the first time organizing a contest on LMI, it wasn't easy as there were many things to be kept in mind. first of all i would like to apologize to the participants who had to wait a little for the contest to start.
Due to some unforced errors, the competition had to be delayed.
i really thank deb for giving me the opportunity to organize such a contest on LMI. i would like to thank Rakesh for guiding me from the creation of the puzzle till the end of the contest. i would like to thank Rohan, amit and prasanna, who suggested me with some points to note down and helped me to start the contest with no more delay.
At last i would like to thank all who participated in the contest.
The least submitted puzzle was toroidal (big) with 100% correct rate and the tough puzzle according to the correct submission was coded snake (big) with 78% correct submissions.
