Country : India | Thanks to all the Organizers, Authors, puzzle testers and LMI team, for a wonderful competition.
I have enjoyed all the puzzles that I have solved. I am shocked to see that I have submitted answers with no errors.
And regarding the power cut, Yes there are power cuts at many places at around 2, even I had power cut, So I have completely relied on my laptop backup and MS Paint.
Regards,
Ravi |

Country : India | I have now come 2nd to Rohan on the National stage too. I'm officially the best at coming 2nd to Rohan :P
I really enjoyed the set of puzzles. Made some silly errors, and probably not my best performance, but happy with it nonetheless.
Congrats Rohan, Amit, Rakesh. :) |

Country : India | Thanks to Deb for single handedly organising the test this year.
And thanks to the authors who have created some wonderful puzzles.
It is great to see Prasanna's strong performance (under par as he would put it.)
After IPC 2011 I had told him that I would participate the following year and he can expect stiffer competition to make it to the team.
Looks like he took it very seriously :P
Also goes to show how much practice of not only solving but also puzzle creation helps in a great way.
Congrats Rohan on retaining the title :)
And most happy to see Rakesh, with him we definitely can form a team that can challenge the top few teams.

I agree that the top 4 this year is close to what I think is India's current strongest team. I say 'is close to' and not 'the best' because it is difficult to replace Rajesh, considering his experience (This is probably the first time in a decade that he isn't in the main team ).
But Prasanna has been in good form with his recent improvement, Rakesh has been one of the most consistent top Indians at LMI and Amit still has the best Indian rank at a WPC, so the team is surely a stronger one compared to the last few years... |

Country : India | rajeshk posted @ 2012-06-03 10:16 PM Congrats to Rohan, PS, Amit and Rakesh. You people make a strong Indian Team. It is really nice to see comeback of Amit. PS is improving from last 6 months and I am sure that by WPC time, he will be best among world in solving puzzles. From last few years Indian Team was missing Rakesh. His presence this year will make a strong team.
I will be missing Team India this year but I will be supporting Indian team by creating puzzles for practice during WPC time.

Country : India | Thanks Utkarsh, Rajesh, Amit, others.
Amit, I did take it quite seriously. :P When the year started, I just wanted to be in the team, but with recent performances it was inevitable my expectations would be more, no matter how much I tried to downplay it. And considering I did make about 9 errors, counting the ones where I erased and got it right the 2nd time, I say its below par. But considering previous years, and considering I always make errors( :P ), I agree its a very satisfying result. Another positive I can take from this is every puzzle I made an error in has a similar trend to it. So its quite clear where to improve ;) |
