Country : India | Administrator posted @ 2013-06-30 2:56 PM chaotic_iak - 2013-06-30 2:19 PM For International participation, IPC will be open for 48 hours. When flash submissionis enabled - in a few days from now, local times will be displayed. By "IPC will be open for a longer period for international players to participate at their own convenience." (IB), what or how long exactly is the period? Can we assume that it's at least 24 hours? chaotic_iak - 2013-06-30 2:19 PM "A" will always be the first (top-left-most) black circle. Letters will be marked only on black circle. In F1-F2, can we assume the circle marked A is aligned to some edge of the grid? (This makes seeing which way is clockwise to become easier. Related post.) However, full points will be awarded if you start from any given letter, and go clock wise / anti clock wise - as long as you enter all letters you should be safe. chaotic_iak - 2013-06-30 2:19 PM Just like the IB, the final puzzle will be a square with borders. In H2, can we assume that we're told which squares are blank? (Just in case the grid is actually a cross or some other thing that is not a rectangle; if we're not told so, the spaces outside the grid can be either a blank square that is supposed to be filled or simply not part of the grid. Currently, the example in the IB has an outlined grid, so the part inside the grid is visible.) |

There are annual Championships for Puzzles and Sudoku separately. This year, the Sudoku Championship hasn't been announced yet, but that shouldn't stop you from participating in the Puzzle Championship :) |
