Is this test open to all?

Troy, Given that we've decided to keep it at fixed period, we do not expect lot of international players to participate.
However, everyone is free to participate during that time.

Note also that the puzzles difficulty level will be much less than a 'typical' LMI monthly puzzle test.

Do you plan to open this tournament to international players for longer period of time (for example 24 hours as last year)? Thanks, Radek

Radek,
Just answered above. It will be at the fixed time, and will not be extended. We don't expect too many international players to participate.

OR
You couldn't solve it

Lets wait till the results are out at 3:35 (10 minutes from now)

Players can see their own score at http://logicmastersindia.com/IPC2011/score.asp

Note : We have found that some players have used unfair means. It needs some cleanup before everyone can see others' scores.

Why not? It is easier to find 60 minutes to spare than 120..... the standard is good, and, then, you are not taking into account the addiction factor....

stefano, thanks for participating and congrats on a good score!
As everyone can see by now, we had really easy puzzles in this round. We were not sure if this is something international players would appreciate.
added to that, we have the Sudoku round still running for 48 hours.

But I get your point - LMI's tests are mostly 120 minutes. It will be nice to see 60 minutes' test.

Karan, I got your PM too.
As per server time, you started at 2:31:28 PM. So by the time see you saw "00:10", it was already past 3:30 PM.
We can't do much, but request you and everyone else to read the rules, timings properly.

I really liked this contest. Thank you for your great work. These easy puzzles can be kind of refreshing. For me as an average solver it means a lot more joy to be able to solve >10 puzzles in 60 minutes than staring at a difficult puzzle so long that you have no more energy for the remaining one and a half hour
