prasanna16391 - 2016-12-01 8:05 PMHi Denis,The LMI interface has the feature of candidate marking, which is what I assumed is meant by pen and pencil input (i.e. two different kinds of markings). Is there some other meaning here I am missing?

Yes: I like many others have a tablet computer with a pen, and find it much more pleasant to solve puzzles by writing with a pen on top of the puzzle (like one would solve on paper, but paper-less) than by entering numbers with an on-screen keyboard (or plugging in an external keyboard). I am not sure what the original poster meant, but I understood "pen input" to mean this. Though "pencil and pen" could actually mean what you understood. I am not sure what the intent was.

Ah alright. Well I got a few queries on phone too which were similar and meant what I understood so I assumed this one meant that too. Anyway, I think our replies clarify the answer for either meaning. You are right that the feature you say is not there in the online interface. Candidate marking is there.

In Online Mode, if I make a mistake and I correct it later, will my points be deducted? Thanks

Only if you submit in-between.

Make mistake => fix mistake => no penalty (point will not be deducted)
Make mistake => Submit => Get error message => Fix mistake -> Penalty (point will be deducted)

The sudokus were very nice designed and the interface was very user-friendly as usual.
Just a quick question ... What is the significance of the orange and the green cells in the ranking column?

Orange - A player who has participated after you last viewed the score page

It was a good game and being a first time online player I enjoyed it. It would be better if the time remaining can be displayed more prominently. For online solvers we need to scroll up to see the time everytime and an alert before 5 mins would really help (for the ones who gets lost in the game :))
