One of my aims for running a daily contest at LMI was to attract some Indian solvers into daily puzzle solving. It was achieved to some extent. I'm really happy with Prasanna's performance, who ended up at 27th overall, and notched top 3 positions few positions.

Before CTC started, I had requested Serkan if it is possible to have Tapa books for top 3 Indians, and he had very kindly agreed to the proposal.

CTC	Overall	ToPo
Prasanna	27	350.726
Rohan	42	315.751
Swaroop	63	283.181

Incidentally, or otherwise, they are also the top 3 players in TVC. Congratulations.

Thank you. Slightly disappointed that I couldn't finish well, but for a first time contest, I'll take that and learn from it. As for attracting the Indians, I think I remember at least 10 who participated almost everyday :) Hope they all enjoyed the experience as much as I did. Congrats to Rohan and Swaroop. A good show from Swaroop, when we were discussing at around the start of CTC we both agreed he had an "outside chance" for 3rd. In the end, his 3rd place was probably the only one among the 3 of us that was never in doubt(Rohan did cross me a couple of times before I had my top-time-strings :P ).



Woohoo! :D Thanks Serkan.

Thanks a lot,
This was my first TVC experience and CTC anyways was new to everyone. I have a learned a lot especially got to know lots of variations of TAPA's. It feels good to finish at 3rd position in INDIA in both TVC and CTC. Also thanks to Prasanna, who used discuss with me daily and clarify my doubts.
Hope to give tough fight next time. :)

Here is the cover for the Tapa books

Is it possible to download the puzzles in pdf format? The file seems to give me an error.
