in the page of ALL QUALIFIERS some are marked as registered and some are not. may i know what it means? i have registered in the website but it's not showing tht i have registered in the ALL QUALIFIERS page column.... may i know what that registered column is meant for?

Registered means that player has registered on 'THIS WEBSITE'. Maybe you registered after the list was announced.
Either way, it is not necessary to register. If your name appears in the qualifiers' list, you are eligible to participate in the finals.

k thank you sir.....

Nice to see dates for finals.. When would we get the Instruction booklet for the variants appearing in finals?

Little tough to predict a date now, but definitely 1 week before the event.

i would like to make one suggestion to the organisers. it would be really helpful if you could publish the ib two weeks before as the last 2 to 3 days some of us would be travelling so we would not get anytime to practice.

We ourselves want to publish it as early as possible, since there might be questions on new variations. Just that we can't commit a date right now since a lot of work has to be completed.

Hi,
I have qualified for the IPC - 2011 finals. I have received the confirmation E-mail too.
I have not participated in ISC-2011 preliminary round, but according to the E-mail received it says I can participate in both the events finals, so the E-mail I have received is enough for both the events finals or Do I need to receive another E-mail for sudoku finals?.

Thanks
Ravi.

One email is enough.

guys, any local from bangalore can suggest a decent 3/4 star hotel around the area of drdo complex, if any body has planned a place already pls share

There are no hotels in the CV Raman Nagar area. But there are couple of Service Appartments. Find the details below:

1) 16 Squares - 9980131773

I have already negotiated the deal. So you can go ahead and book. You can contact me at 9886216066.

Guys can please some one explain the Odd length sudoku, it says the number outside equals maximum length of consecutive odd digits , so for C1 (3-5 have 4 boxes in between them, but for C6, it is not holding true ....) pls enlighten

I'm not sure I'm looking at same image as you are, but there is no constraint on C6.

I re-read your statement, and I think you don't understand the instruction.
Number 4 outside C1 means in C1 there will be at least one set of 4 consecutive cells all having odd digits. There can't be a set of 5 consecutive cells all having odd digits.

Check Row 8, the hints outside is 3. So There will be at least one set of 3 consecutive cells all having odd digits. There can't be a set of 4 (or 5) consecutive cells all having odd digits.

true it was c7 and not c6

Thanks deb the word consectuive cells clarified it to me,
earlier it sounded like max lenght between any two consecutve odd digits ( like 1-3, 3-5 ...) like distance sudoku

Deb,

In the number search+classic, can a given be a part of the search string??

Rishi

Yes.

In the number search+classic,

(1) Can any of the number strings appear more than once on THE number search grid? Or, should they appear exactly once each?
(2) For THE classic grid, can some (but not all) of the number strings still show up?

In the multiplication sudoku,

Can a number repeat in the 2x2 box e.g. 4x6=24. I guess the rules allow that, but still asking....to be doubly sure

About the format,
These four rounds will be the only rounds and the winner will be by scores or there will be semis/playoffs after these rounds

1) In Number Search grid, same number sequence may appear multiple times.
2) Some of the number sequences may be found in the Classic grid. But not ALL of them can be found in the Classic grid.

3) In multiplication Sudoku digits are allowed to repeat (4X6=24 or 2X6=12) as long as they don't violate classic sudoku rules.

There is no semis/playoffs.
If anyone is having concerns about that, they should post in forum.

I think this is ideal than having playoffs
