First welcome to LMI and best of luck for your first test. :) maxxuk - 2012-05-30 10:27 AM How do I make the submission of completed puzzle? There is an answer key to each puzzle. It is there in Instruction Booklet. After Solving the Puzzle You form the answer key according to answer key rules given under each puzzle in Instruction Booklet. This key you have to enter on the LMI interface or championship page where you will start this test. The total time is 150 mts..for printing, solving & uploading? Yes. Total 150 minutes including printing,solving and entering Answer keys. No need of any uploading or scanning. |

Hope you saw this page http://logicmastersindia.com/IPC2012/ . The instruction booklet is available there, puzzle booklet will be made available later and will have rows and columns marked just like the instruction booklet. Also, IPC 2010 was also held like this. You can check out the puzzle booklet here http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/?test=IPC2010 but there are no solutions or anything I think. Just to confirm related to an earlier query, this is open to all foreign participants as well, only difference being of course, that you won't be eligible for selection into team India ;) Edited by prasanna16391 2012-05-30 12:57 PM |

Posts: 3 Country : India | maxxuk posted @ 2012-05-30 2:04 PM Thanks for the responses...one final query though ....( the information booklet is indeed quite useful), once after solving the puzzles, I need to log in and enter the answer keys in given fields? or do I keep the window active for the entire duration to update the answer keys? These questions may look silly for some one who has been participating for a while, it can still help novices like me. Thanks & Regards Mahesh |

The puzzle booklet (pdf file with actual puzzles) will be password protected. To open this file, you need a password. You can see this password after you click on "Start IPC 2012" on 3rd June at 2:00PM. After you get the password, you can open the pdf, print, solve. After solving, you can enter the answer keys in the given fields. You don't need to keep the window active for the whole duration. After you get the password, you can safely close the window and reopen it only when you need to submit. |

Posts: 6 Country : India | jayantshaq posted @ 2012-05-31 1:28 AM Hello organizers, I would like to know whether citizens of India temporarily residing abroad are eligible to be a part of the Indian team. For instance, if someone is doing a PhD abroad or is posted to another country for a couple of years, are they eligible? |

Posts: 123 ![]() ![]() Country : India | macherlakumar posted @ 2012-05-31 11:06 AM Hi All, For all the new members, here is the link for Tapa practise puzzles http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/dl.asp?view=1&attachmentid=22... The puzzles are sorted from easy to hard, So I recommend you to do it in the same way. NOTE : 1. Please use the booklet for practising the puzzles only. 2. These puzzles are from a competition previously held at LMI and that competition has nothing to do with the IPC 2012 except for using the puzzles for practise. 3. Please ignore Page 1 of the PDF booklet. 4. Please do not ask any questions about that competition in this thread. |

Posts: 35 ![]() Country : India | mathcrazy posted @ 2012-05-31 11:07 AM In the sample puzzle for Coded TomTom given in the instruction booklet, the first number should be AH+, right? It's given as AF+, which doesn't lead to a proper solution. |

Posts: 31 ![]() Country : United Kingdom | PuzzleScot posted @ 2012-05-31 4:27 PM Hi, In the past, IPCs have been open for a longer period to allow international participation. (eg, in parts of USA, it will start at 3:30am). Will there be the option this year to participate later in the day, or even another day for other nationalities competing as guests? |

Posts: 1 Country : United States | PreetiSar posted @ 2012-05-31 9:27 PM Hi.. I am an Indian living in USA... I want to take part in IPC 2012. Since the test is from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm, it will be morning 4:30 am here. What I wanted to know is, will a printer be required or will it be more convenient to solve it if we print the puzzles out on paper? If that is so I will have to run to lab early in the morning :( .... please do give me some suggestions regarding this.. thanx |

If you want to optimize your performance, you're probably better off with a printer and should probably decide if you can go to the lab early, but as long as you are logically sound in solving the puzzles, it won't affect you a huge lot. I gave IPC 2010 and numerous LMI tests before April on paint :) |

If you want to be eligible for Selection to Team India, and be in the official Indian IPC results, you should start it at 2 PM and you have till 4.30. It is open for longer mainly for International participants to enjoy the competition at their convenience. |
