Pls refer post #7414 where it is mentioned that results will be out later in the night....

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.

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 ;)

Congratulations, Rohan! It seems Indian R-factor is going on!
Congrats to all team! I hope to see you in Croatia.

Full score page now available.

The guess the author selections disappear when they disappear from sight as you scroll downwards or upwards to select the rest.

Yes. Will fix that.
(All your 'guesses' are recorded though)

I had been randomly assigning some to test what was happening in the end.

I do see I have good timing as I was just now randomly checking if the full score page was up for the first time today by clicking the results link. apparently it´s just been uploaded.

Congrats to Rohan, Prasanna. Amit and Rakesh. Good luck for WPC 2012.

Congrats to Rohan,prasanna,amit and rakesh. Best of luck for WPC 2012.
After seeing the whole scorepage it seems satisfactory that i am at that position because I know with what conditions i have appeared for the test. It seems that 1 puzzle mistake if was correct then i would have been in.
anyways nice experience and thanks to all authors,Deb,LMI for organizing IPC 2012.

Great performance by Swaroop too, narrowly missing out on the top 4.
A few days before the IPC I has spoken to Rajesh and he had correctly predicted the top 5 and he had mentioned your name.
Being away from the scene I was not aware that you have been doing so well.
Good to see you in the mix of things. Makes for stiffer competition for making it to the team in future years.

It is fixed now.
Thanks to those who have already played "Guess-the-authors". We expect others to participate as well.

Intersting fact
The top 5 Indian positions in No Numbers and IPC 2012 are identical.

The number of wrong submissions made by the 2nd placed individual are also identical. Very interesting indeed.

The mistakes by 5th person are also same :P
also the gap between 4th and 5th person is small. :) in both cases.

You may want to edit that image out for now; how many puzzles were solved by some contestants is a bit too much information for someone who hasn't taken the test yet.

Sorry I forgot to remove them, I usually take care of such things.
I think its already removed.

Regards,
Ravi

Indian Puzzle Championship 2012 is now over.

Congratulations again to Rohan, Prasanna, Amit and Rakesh.

Rohan played really well, but pressure did him in and he couldn't solve one puzzle although he had 7+ minutes in hand.
Prasanna kept making mistakes in every LMI test and continued to do the same in IPC as well. Hope he gets rid of this good habit soon.
When Amit told me that he wants to participate this year, I was extremely happy for him. But I was not sure if he had enough practice. He certainly proved me wrong.
We have always considered Rakesh as the dark horse and he finally proved his worth in a national championship.

It is bit harsh for Swaroop who was just 10 points - a single puzzle away for 4th position, but I'm sure he can improve a lot in coming years.

A total of 128 Indians participated during the official period. Thank you everyone.

Among international players, top 3 positions go to deu, Kota and uvo. deu played extremely well to finish all puzzles in 84 minutes. ( I also want to thank deu for taking IPC earlier to check any problems in submission site.)

Obviously, the timing was decided keeping Indian players in target. So 150 minutes might have seemed too long for many international players. Many players completed all 30 puzzles (some with few mistakes). I hope everyone enjoyed the puzzles.

Guess-The-Authors is now closed for voting.

Here are the voting results of the Guess The Authors:

---

Some comments: As Easy As ABC and Square Division were the only pairs that had different authors for the two puzzles. Palmer's Slitherlinks, Serkan's Kakuros and Thomas' TomToms were probably the easiest to guess due to the practise puzzles on their respective blogs. It is surprising to see Palmer get many votes for Tapa (when Serkan is part of list of authors) It looks like Thomas' set of 6 puzzles were the easiest set to guess. Serkan's Mastermind votes are the least. Star Battle was probably the toughest puzzle to vote for. Thanks for voting and hope you enjoyed this little game.

Thanks to the authors and organisers for conducting so smoothly!!!! the puzzles wer really nice....good mix of easy and hard puzzles..had a great time solving them .... few puzzles wer new to me ... solving aftr almost 2+ yrs...hope to participate regularly now :) !!! Congrats to all the winners !!!!

Congratulations to Bram for winning Guess-The-Authors contest. He got 24 correct (he mainly missed the Masterminds and Star Battles).

Here is the list of all players who have voted for at least 15 puzzles.
