Thank you for your suggestion. We'll keep this in mind.
A request to all : Please refrain from posting anything other than IPC 2010 in this thread. There are other threads open for requests like this. See this, this, and this |

Country : India | As part of our regular Monthly tests, we have 2 Puzzle Tests planned before IPC2010.
Broken Pieces on 28th and 29th September
EverGreens II on 4th and 5th September
Both of these will be online events and will be conducted similar to IPC2010.
If you are new to IPC or LMI events, it is strongly suggested that you participate in these tests to get familiar with the online system.
These 2 tests will expose you to several things, including
• How to download the IB and Puzzle Booklet?
• How to get the password for Puzzle Booklet?
• How to submit the answers?
• And most importantly, how do you prepare and plan for the event.

Country : India | <<<< For all non Indian participants >>>>
Since the IPC is mainly for the selection of the Indian team for the WPC it will be open for Indian participants only between 14:00 and 16:30 IST on 12th September
However after the official test has been completed we will open the test for all foreign participants for 24 hours from 12th September, 17:30 IST till 17:30 IST on 13th September. All Indian results in this duration will not be considered for selection to the national team.
If you find the official timings comfortable then you are free to participate during the official test too.

It is easier and efficient if you print the puzzles and solve on paper. |

It will be good to request the international Participant, not to participate during the official test to avoid overloading on the server. |

Hi,
You dont need to register individually for any competition. If you are registered on our site/forum (which I presume you already are since you posted on the forum ), you can simply use the same username and password to participate.

Rajesh, I dont think there is any worry with regards to overloading of the server, we have not faced any overloading issues in any of the monthly tests. and it is unlikely that a highly drastic change will be there in the number of foreign players participating. |

I would suggest entering full name be made compulsory if not already entered in the IPC. |

In the monthly tests, test remains open for 48 hours. If consider that there are 160 participants then on the average, people submitting the answers will be around 4/hour. The test will be open for 2 hours and say 100 people participate and all submitting the answers at the same, it may overload server. Hopefully LMI server will be able to take this load. |

Country : India | The puzzles have been divided into five groups.
The first group is dedicated to Sudoku, which is definitely one of the most popular puzzle type. A couple of the Sudoku concepts have been borrowed from Jan Mrzowski's blog and from the Polish Puzzle Championship 2010.
The next section is for Basic Variants which the participants are very likely to have seen before even in newspapers.
The third section has observational and word puzzles, like spot differences, word search which I am sure most of you must have solved when you were kids :)
The fourth section is dedicated to Puzzle types from the Polish Puzzle Championship in accordance to the fact that WPC 2010 will be hosted by Poland.
The last section is again a section of basic variants which have commonly occured in past Polish Championships.
Hope you all have a great time solving these puzzles.
Please go through the Instruction Booklet carefully and do post any doubts regarding the puzzle instructions answer format etc. on the forum.
