Posts: 668 Country : India | swaroop2011 posted @ 2014-06-30 12:54 AM Hi, i would suggest don't make any assumption based on last year's. Things might change or it might remain same. No one knows it until contest begins. But of course you can use past things for your practice. Good Luck :) |

I assume registration is probably a way for them to plan ahead knowing the number of participants, so I'd probably be on the safe side and ask your friends to register too. |

At what time test will end prasanna16391 - 2014-06-30 2:20 PM I recall that last year they allowed one person per registration in some cities. So better to have your friends registered. dopuzzle - 2014-06-30 2:07 PM can some of my friends come with me without their registration.

Basically, the number of people registering would be much more than what can be accommodated in a single group. So there will be multiple preliminary rounds with different groups of people and a few people will be chosen from each of these rounds to proceed to the regional final round which will be held later in the day.

Typically that makes you an early batch participant, and so yes, you will have an interval. I'd advise you mainly to make sure you give the right contact details in the first round sheet, so that if you do qualify, they'll be able to contact you easily to notify. Also, don't go too far away from the venue of course, so that you can reach back in time for the next round. The second round is typically longer and then there's the time taken to check and decide the winners, all of this combined is what takes it to 5 and such. If I remember right, in Mumbai, last year we were called for the 2nd round at 2 PM. All of this information is assuming it is the same format as last year. So don't take any of it as a given unless an organizer confirms it. |

Posts: 16 Country : India | Dileep Singh posted @ 2014-07-01 5:21 PM It was a good experience to participate in the contest. Last year, in Round1: One had to solve 8 6*6 sudoku in 15 minutes. In Round 2: there were 4 classic sudokus and 4 of variant types, 1 each of odd-even, trio, diagonal and alphabet sudoku. And time allotted for the second round was 1hr..but to get selected one had to solve all the sudokus in less than 40mins. Let's see if there will be a change in the format. I am looking forward for the contest. Best wishes for all the participants. Just enjoy the competition, it will be a great experience. Edited by Dileep Singh 2014-07-01 5:22 PM |
