Did you see a login box?
It runs on flash, which you can get from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Country : India | Please install flash first - link in previous post. May be try from different browser.
Are you by any chance working on a mobile or some handheld device?

Country : Indonesia | Remember that Firefox recently disabled Flash plugin, so use a different browser other than Firefox. I can confirm that it works in Chrome.

Also on Opera. It also works on firefox for me, would that be because I have an older version? |

Country : Indonesia | Maybe. Doesn't work for Firefox 39.0.3+Adobe Flash 18. Works for Chrome, and works for Opera (after updating Flash and restarting browser). |

Country : India | Did not work on either Chrome or IE or Firefox at 3 different PCs in office - and I did check the flash installation on those boxes (I am still stupefied).
Was about to leave disheartened - when I logged to a fourth PC at office - and bingo I could see the login screen.
Luckily, because I have the administrator password for all pcs in office, I could login through multiple boxes and get one where it worked.
I would suggest putting a test page, where people could login and check their system technological compatibility (say a page for entering answers to puzzles in Instruction Booklet) before the test itself - rather than figuring this out after the test begins.

Country : India | vopani posted @ 2015-08-09 6:15 PM Thanks to Prasanna and Deb for organizing IPC. Wonderful puzzles as always.
I definitely felt better this year than last year and the dreadful year before last. Except for a couple of small minor stumbles, the test went fairly smoothly for me. Missed the 1000-score, probably needed another 10-minutes or so :-)
Congrats to Amit and Swaroop for 2nd and 3rd. This is the team I predicted and I hope we can achieve India's best rank at the WPC this year assuming we perform consistently and assist Prasanna's tremendous run at the WPCs recently.
Rajesh, seems to be having a year of just missing out. Missed TSC finals by a rank, and now missed the A-Team by a rank. But good to see you still up there.
Ashish... what a wonderful performance. I think we're definitely going to have some interesting competition in the near future. Keep it up.
Rakesh, Jayant, Jaipal... the usual suspects :-)

Country : India | Now that score page is released, Rohan great come back with such whooping score. Rest all ranks were too close , and just a matter of 1 puzzle here and there. I can certainly say that the Gapped Kakuro submission submitted just before few seconds of time, rescued me to top 3 spots. Well done once again all of you. Congrats to all once again. Ashish really very well performed and significant improvement from last year.
Once again Thanks to Prasanna and Deb for such a wonderful test.
