Most of the standard puzzles can be found at

http://www.janko.at/Raetsel/index.htm

Than Rajesh for introducing us to such a wonderful website............

In fact this site is must have in every puzzlers list. I am practicing puzzles on this site from 2004 onwards and till now there is not a single puzzle type for which I could solve all the puzzles. Hats off to Otto Janko for maintaining this site very well.

Rajesh, the domino sets will be given in the PB... for Battleships the IB clearly states, and I quoet from the IB "The fleet is shown below, one 4 unit
battleship, two 3 unit cruisers, three 2 unit destroyers and four 1 unit submarines."

Hope that clarifies.

<<<< For all non Indian participants >>>>

Since the IPC is mainly for the selection of the Indian team for the WPC it will be open for Indian participants only between 14:00 and 16:30 IST on 12th September

However after the official test has been completed we will open the test for all foreign participants for 24 hours from 12th September, 17:30 IST till 17:30 IST on 13th September. All Indian results in this duration will not be considered for selection to the national team.

If you find the official timings comfortable then you are free to participate during the official test too.

Thank you so much for opening the time window for international players

. I had my alarm set for 3 AM so I could start at 3:30 AM, but now I can get good night sleep.

Good luck to all players!

The set of battleships shown in the puzzle booklet (along side the grid) is incorrect. The correct set includes one 4-unit battleship, two 3-unit cruisers, three 2-unit destroyers and four 1-unit submarines.

Note that the grid is correct.

After the official test is over, IPC will be open for international participants (and for Indians who missed it during the official time).
17:30 12-Sep till 17:30 13-Sep.

To be fair to everyone, we request the official participants not to discuss about the puzzles before 17:30 on 13-Sep.
They should refrain from discussing about answers / difficulties of puzzles / strategies / tricks / password / uniqueness / errors during this period.

Oh, so you mean I did not have to stay awake until 5:00am to take this test!? I should have read the messages before taking the test. :)

It was a very nice test -- accessible and fun with lots of new variations that were fresh but not too obscure; and you had plenty of sudoku in here too! I thank the LMI team once again for their great work.

yes, wrong warning message.
Your submission will be accepted with 7 digits.

I initially submitted with 7 digits. And since it was wrongly erroring out, I submitted without the digit already included in the question (i.e. the digit '1' in the fourth column which was already displayed in the grid in the question).

Since, I guess there could be more people like me, therefore, IMHO both XXX1XXX & XXXXXX should be accepted as correct.

Rajib.
