I really should not do the test when tired. Wasted a huge amount of time on the easy questions. By the way, only my score is showing on the scoreboard, while everyone else gets 0 points. Is that normal? Edited by achan1058 2014-05-25 4:59 PM | ||||||||||||

The rules of the every puzzle should be listed in bullet form. Each bullet point should have one and only one restriction of the puzzle mentioned in it. Currently, one instruction statement of the puzzle has multiple restrictions mentioned in it (or all the rules are described in a paragraph format) - increasing the probability of a new-comer to miss one of the multiple restrictions. (Anyway, some of the statements in the instructions are complicated/convoluted for new comers. So breaking the instruction statement down into individual bullet points, with one rule per bullet point will make it clearer to new-comers) = = = = While the participants are supposed to read the rules very carefully, but it does help if the same are listed in bullet-wise fashion so that the solvers (especially new-comers and non-regular-puzzle-solvers) don't miss any facet of the puzzle. It also makes it easier for non-regular solvers to validate the answers upon submission - by checking against each bullet point. Edited by rajibrborah 2014-05-25 5:24 PM | ||||||||||||

We'll consider them in the future. | ||||||||||||

Posts: 9 Country : India | megu posted @ 2014-05-25 6:17 PM I have a query in A2 Match the following puzzle. I have submitted the answer as ZYWX and I haven't got any points for that. I arrived at the result as follows: 2 + 3 x 6 / 9 = 4 4 x 5 / 2 - 7 = 3 5 x 3 - 9 / 6 = 1 6 / 2 + 7 - 8 = 2 What is the right answer? Edited by megu 2014-05-25 6:18 PM | ||||||||||||

Without releasing right answer yet, I'll give you a chance to solve it yourself. You've missed the rule that operator precedence is followed, i.e., Multiplication and division are done before addition and subtraction. So your equation for 1 will actually become 15 - 1.5, not 6/6. | ||||||||||||

Posts: 9 Country : India | megu posted @ 2014-05-25 7:09 PM Oh! I get it now! How silly of me! I applied the operator precedence rule in other 3 parts and failed at one part. I solved it now, I hope I have got it right this time: 2 + 3 x 6 / 9 = 4 4 - 5 x 2 + 7 = 1 5 - 3 / 9 x 6 = 3 6 / 2 + 7 - 8 = 2 I will have to keep in mind to re-check everything before submission for future contests, however few puzzles I am able to finish. Thank you for the reply. Also thanks to the other two people who replied. ![]() | ||||||||||||
