Very nice puzzles but too hard for PR, that made it less enjoyable.
I felt the points distribution was a bit off, but maybe it was just my preferences.

Favourite puzzles:
Slitherlink 3
Ripple Loop 2
Masyu 2

Thanks Ashish!

I have a suggestion. Can LMI implement a change in the answers input page for contests such that once the test is over, I can check if my answers for unsolved puzzles are correct or not without affecting my score? Currently I think waiting for solution booklet is the only option. Kindly respond.

Excellent set of puzzles. Had a smooth run in almost all genres until the first of Regional Yajilin puzzles.
The choice of puzzles for the contest was as impressive as the solve paths. I enjoyed the set very much. Would love to see Round trip and Country road puzzles make an appearance in future contests.
Thanks Ashish for a great contest !

Hi, I got some technical issues during the test and had to refresh my browser. Then I realized the timer was reset as well so I lost track of time. Is this intentional or some kind of bug?

Thanks

From what we have seen, the first seconds after a refresh resets the timer but then it comes back down to where its supposed to be. We have had reports of alternate behaviours though and are looking into it.
