1) How to fill partial answers for A1/A2?
If correct answer key is AHL, but I know answer only for 2nd puzzle should I fill ( H ) or (H) or (XHX)
2) Whats are points tie-braker rules other than time-bonus (situation where tied participants have completed less than 25 puzzles and wont have time bonus to differentiate. Would you consider the submission time for last puzzle submitted?) |

It says that:
"International players can start up to 7/9/2013 8:30:00 AM GMT"
So if I start at 8am Tuesday (GMT) do I get the full 2.5 hours, or only 0.5 hours?
***** This answer is valid for international players and other LMI tests. *****
Hi James, in LMI submission system, once a player starts, *he will always be allowed full solving time.

Good question. Any of the the 3 suggested by you is fine i.e. ( H ) or (H ) or (XHX )
However, note that the submission system expects you to enter XHX, only then the red warning will go away.
Related notes :
1. If the correct answer is AHL, and you enter BHL : You get 0.
2. If the correct answer is AHL, and you enter ABHL or BCHL, you get 20 points. In these cases, since you have entered 2 answers for the the first part, it will be considered as not submitted.

2) Whats are points tie-braker rules other than time-bonus (situation where tied participants have completed less than 25 puzzles and wont have time bonus to differentiate. Would you consider the submission time for last puzzle submitted?) Page 3 of the IB :
Ranking will be based on following rules in order:
1. Most total points
2. Earliest final submission time, upto seconds (ignoring incorrect submissions )

Is this a rated contest? It is not. If we had started Saturday, it would have been. |

Country : India | In pentomino kakuro is it fair to assume that the direction of the slant lines on the pentominoes should match the direction of the slant lines on the main grid?
Also can we assume that in a given orientation if a sum gets blocked then that orientation is not allowed? |

Also can we assume that in a given orientation if a sum gets blocked then that orientation is not allowed? All given sums have to be respected. |

Country : India | How to get the password?
In previous year's championship, many players were not sure how to get the password. Exactly following steps are needed to get the password for the puzzle pdf.
Note that the "Start IPC 2013" button will be enabled only after 2:00PM.
If the button is still disabled, you need to refresh your browser.

Yes.
Everyone, please note we might not be able to answer specific questions about the puzzles / instructions after the championship starts. Not everyone will read the forum after it starts.
However, we will answer any technical question about submission OR questions like "does a 3X3 box in Sudoku need to have 1 to 9 exactly once?" |

Country : Indonesia | GAH I DID NOT PRESS SUBMIT THAT LAST TIME #&@$! lost 95 points qq can I immediately PM an admin for my unsubmitted answer keys right now?
Meanwhile, it's a great test. Save for certain unexpected surprises (in particular M1 made me that have no access to printer cringe), the puzzles are enjoyable. Who guessed an Easy As ABC with 9x9 grid and three letters? And for whatever reason I intuited L2 to score somewhere around 40 seconds. (Which didn't get submitted afterwards. Argh. I must learn to click Submit Answers at one minute left.) |
