Thread - Round 8 : Bharata's Resolve

Para - 2026-10-07 9:47 PM

A few questions, just to clarify.

There's a mention of Exile at the start, but from there on the rest of the time it's called the Forest Section.

Are the sections next to each other for each team, or is the room split into Capital and Forest sections?

Can the two sections communicate in any way (besides when the Capital solver visits the Forest section)?

The Forest section puzzlers can only ever work on the Forest puzzles? They can't solve any of the additional puzzles once they are done.

If I understand it correctly, to receive the completed transfer grid, the submitted transfer grid does not have to be solved correctly? Any correctly solved transfer section at that point will still get us points?

Exile and Forest are the same for the purpose of this round.

The room will be split into Capital and Forest Sections, with the 2 sections for each team being equidistant (approximately half the hall size).

Apart from the Capital Solver visiting the Forest Section, there can be no other communication between the two sections.

The Forest Section can only work on the Forest Puzzles. They will get a bonus independent of the Capital Section for submitting early.

Your understanding about getting the complete transfer grid is correct. It does not have to be solved completely, and whatever is solved up to that point will be scored.
