One more note about Smashed Sums online interface - Please use the Space key to erase entries. 'Delete' key does not work nicely.

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 ISC 2013" button will be enabled only after 2:00PM.
If the button is still disabled, you need to refresh your browser.

In Sudo-Kurve I can see that the answer key is 9 digits long.
I presume that this corresponds to the nine digits along the curve in the direction of the arrow?

i just loved the test, today i was finally confident of solving sudokus though at some case to rush up i used guessings but luckily worked out. Finally i am happy with the number of sudokus i was able to solve. The variants were just awesome and i was able to get logic quickly. At few variants unfortunately got stuck and had to leave it.
Thnks to organizers and the puzzle authors for awesome test.

I simply loved the Smashed sums.. which incidentally made me start thrice. Finally when the logic dawned, I could only gape in sheer amazement at the simplicity of the puzzle. Beautiful.

Thanks to organizers for this great test. Variants were too good and all solvable by logic (even though I still have to solve Smashed Sums Sudoku). Enjoyed this test.

Congratulations to Prasanna Seshadri for a double win (IPC and ISC). Rohan takes the 2nd position and Rishi 3rd.
They all completed 24 Sudokus, with last submission time deciding the ranks.
