Very enjoyable puzzles! I especially liked all the third puzzles. Thank you very much for the contest. 💜

Thanks for the puzzles! I originally skipped Statue Park 3 because I was intimidated at first, but loved the starting deduction once I came back to it!

What do the columns headed *0#* and *Last Sub* mean?

"O#" is rank for Indians, which is only meaningful in contests like Indian Sudoku Championship.
"Last Sub" is the time at which the player submitted the last time (within the contest limit)

Lovely set of puzzles ! Thoroughly enjoyed .... Nice format too. 60 min was a good time ! Just loved the feature of being able to continue post time over ( even though no points accrue ) and that feedback ( right or wrong ) was offered ... Please make it a regular feature .👍🙏

Wow, some great times up the top of the leaderboard. Well done! 😎

A question for the fast solvers 🤷: Did you use Penpa or paper (or both, or neither) to solve these puzzles?

I used only Penpa for the entire set. I never can get a great setup for paper solving and am very grateful that LMI's been embracing Penpa as much as they have.

this is my first experience i really enjoy it the puzzle thanks

👍

i like hidato

I used only paper. I definitely have more practice on paper, and Penpa links generally take 3-7 seconds to load for me which matters in a shorter contest like this. I appreciate Penpa being an option though - the solving interface is great and it looks like it's opened the contest to many more people! ❤️

Finished clean with time to spare - I can never complain about that. 😎 The puzzles were great fun to solve, with some very beautiful solve paths.

The second edition of PANFOPCWHTTAPA comes to an end, and we are very grateful to everyone who decided to take the contest and gave such heart-warming feedback about the experience! ♥️
This was the first LMI contest after the Indian Puzzle Championship to employ the new LMI interface with Penpa+ integration. The LMI team and Swaroop have worked very hard to create a highly convenient and well designed online-solving interface and making it available to all solvers for every contest. This interface will now be the norm and every LMI contest going ahead will make use of it!

This was also the first contest where we used the instant comment and feedback section under/besides the results page, and we saw a lot of great interaction and responses there. Thank you LMI team for this great feature, we love hearing feedback on our work!
Huge thanks to everyone who participated, and congratulations to everyone who did PANFOPCWHTTAPA 2 as their first ever puzzle contest!

We saw historic participation, with 460 official participants starting the test!
Out of these, 441 people make atleast one correct submission.
242 people completed the contest within the stipulated time!

The top 3 solvers were-
1. Walker Anderson
2. Ken Endo
3. Freddie Hand

With the top time achieved by Walker of 11:17 minutes only, and just a narrow 2 seconds faster than Ken Endo in second place! Spectacular show and congratulations, you guys!

We feel our goal of making a beginner friendly contest that everyone can grasp and enjoy has been a success, and we look forward to bringing you more editions of PANFOPCWHTTAPA soon. The next edition will take place after the SM-PR cycle for 2022.

In the mean time, if you guys want more puzzle contests/ great puzzles to solve competitively, or casually, please do check out the PR (Puzzle Ramayan) rounds that are scheduled to take place throughout the next 6 months. Schedule - here
