Now displaying the time in local time zone as well. Can the non-IST users check if it works properly / does not work?
2 places
1) http://logicmastersindia.com/M201005/ -> Login -> It should show a message below the "Start LMI Test..."
2) Click on the Timings tab. It should show local start and end.

1) works for me (Eastern Daylight Time GMT-4)
2) Timings tab does not update after login (so I see exactly "(Local Time : Start , End ) " ) .

The numbers between grids represent the number of digits which are at the same cells in the corresponding row in both grids.

Will the puzzles have only 'row' givens? And not column givens?

Rohan,
The actual puzzles will be replica of the examples (except of course that the digits / hints will change)
does that clarify?

More than 150 downloads of the IB and more than 300 views of this thread.

Hopefully there will be significant number of participants too. Being a conservative, I would think around 60.

Any other guesses? Unfortunately, we can't be giving points for these guesses

I agree with you Deb... With the past trends we can expect between 50 - 60 participants which will hopefully increase month on month.

78 looks too high. I hope you will be right, and I'll be wrong

One player asked me how to remove pencil mark. So I think many players might not know this trick

Did you know that pressing Control key while left clicking on a pencil mark removes that pencil mark?
Try that out today - You would might need it in the test if you are solving online.

Not sure if this is the best place to answer. May be we should open a separate thread for these 'FAQ' kind of questions. It will be helpful for new players.

In Marked Quadro Sudoku, in the example from the IB, how can I make out that R7C5-R7C6-R8C5-R8C6 is NOT a 'Marked Quadro'? (Other than the noticeable square shape of the shaded cells?

Rohan, In the actual puzzle there won't be any 2X2 square which are adjoining to each other. Does that answer your question?
