Neeraj,
The arrows example is tough and needs T&E.
We've replaced with an easier example. Download the updated IB. You should be able to solve it with ease.

Notes about Puzzle Booklet

The Puzzle Booklet does not have the examples.
So, if you want to refer to the examples while solving, please keep a printed copy of the IB handy

The Puzzle Booklet has the instructions for puzzles, but it does not have the instructions for answer key.
Instruction for answer key is available in the IB and also in the website for submission

The puzzles are numbered for 01-25 in the Puzzle Booklet and also in the submission website. This will help you submit puzzles in any order you need.

The puzzles will be in green color - if that distracts you, please print in b/w printer :-)

More examples can be found at Rohan's blog - http://rohanrao.blogspot.com/2010/07/indian-puzzle-championship-jul...
Rohan has nicely organized it for the EverGreens.

It is little late, but still better than never.
Thanks Rohan!

Players can check their scores 100 minutes after they start the test.
As per a suggestion somewhere else in forum, players can see their own score - and not others.
If someone finds problems with their score, please report here.
Don't post answers - just post the Puzzle and your id.

After the Test is over, full results will be available.

Battleships: It is not required anywhere that the answer should be in alphabetical order (** e.g.), and a reverse order (**) has been judged incorrect (**-* for me).

Marked 50 for P06. Check your answer for P05, you have typed same co-ordinates twice. Bad typing mistake.

The puzzles were great. But the answer key seems to be a problem.
I lost 115 points from my own carelessness. (Both Zig-zags and the first arrow)

..
However, I also lost an additional 80 points from both battleships:

The answer required:
xx,xx,xx,xx (no spaces)

I put:
xx, xx, xx, xx (with spaces)

Can these be counted correct??
