 How balanced do you think the puzzle types of this test were? Perfectly balanced
 What was your opinion of the distribution of easy/hard puzzles? Just right
 What did you think about the puzzle quality of the test? Very nice
 What was your opinion of the booklet formatting and printing? Just right


Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed this test. A comfortable level of difficulty, maybe except for the Kakuros.

The instant scoring had me maybe a little too careless on submission -- I'd tend to let the engine do the checking, not sure if that paid off. It did pay off to guess the last two "identical pairs" after staring for a while.

One minor thing: It would have been nice if the Gapped Kakuro page had repeated the 0-for-gap thingy (or did I miss it?).

Somehow, the smaller puzzles are harder than the medium sized ones, sometimes by a significant margin. I am not sure whether that's a good thing.

IPC 2015 is over. Thanks to everyone involved (Deb, Bram, Bastien, Vladimir, Tiit) for helping me organize it.

Congratulations once again to the winners. Rohan Rao posted a winning total of 930.4, which is impressive considering this is the same format as last year where the winning total was 645. It is also impressive considering that he is 14th in the International segment whereas last year, India's best total was 25th in the International segment. Last year's winner, Amit Sowani seemed a bit off-pace this year but still scored 773.7, which was enough to be the Runner-Up. Swaroop Guggilam completes the A-team with a total of 725.2 at 3rd place. Among the remaining rankings, Ashish Kumar showed a notable improvement, moving from 14th last year to 5th this year. The International segment of the competition saw 189 participants, with 13 solvers finishing the entire set and posting a score of 1000+. The three best scores were 2165.4 by deu (Japan), 2099.9 by EKBM (Japan) and 1588.7 by uvo (Germany). The Indian participation for IPC was on the lower side, but hopefully with a shift to Puzzle Ramayan for next year's selection, with a more beginner-friendly format, we can encourage more Indians to take up and pursue other puzzles too as they do Sudoku.

The Solution Booklet will be posted over the weekend.
Thank you all for participating!

I had participated in Indian Puzzle Championship 2015, but have not received the participation certificate.
Could you please mail it to my registered id?

Also, can I still make a request for Hard Copy of the certificate, though the last date is over?

To add to what Varun said, since the delay for the certificates is on our side and not yours, you will be given 2 weeks after the mail is sent to request for hard copy. We will send it soon. Apologies for the delay, we have been more focused on getting the first Sudoku Mahabharat and Puzzle Ramayan rounds ready.

I did not participate in IPC 2015. I downloaded the puzzle booklet for solving. But it's asking for the password which is not in http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/?test=IPC2015 . Can anyone share the password?
@Admins: please post the password there or add the booklet without password.

Added the password there.

We are supposed to remove the password and append the solutions. We will do that soon.

Is this championship different from the National Sudoku Championship? And if this is different, then when is it due in 2016 and the process for the same. Thanks.

It is different, and it is done for this year, on 17th of July, in Chennai. However if you keep track of the forum you should be able to see more contests both in puzzles and Sudoku. The past content of Indian Puzzle Championship is available for free here - http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/downloads.asp?testType=99 . This year's content isn't public and is on sale.
