Country : India | A bad answer format will not be penalized.
For example, "entering 3 digits while 4 digits are expected" will not be penalized. The individual submit button will not be enabled if the answer key is not formatted properly. |

Country : India | 3 things i need to be carefull is : (shared it thinking that it may be helpful to others too)
kakuro triplet - numbers repeat
doors - excluding cell itself
Hitori - shaded cells can be adjacent
2 questions ??
1) can one more sample of arithmetic box utilizing BODMAS Rule be uploaded (if possible)
2) Trimino hunt the triminos can be read from any direction right ??
i mean 223 can be read as 223 from left to right and 322 as if from right to left or 223 from top to bottom and 322 as if from bottom to top?? |

Yes, they can. In the given Trimino set in the IB, there is no 322 given, as 223 and 322 are considered the same instance (this is usually the case with domino hunt puzzles and it looks to be the same here ). So hunt for the ones given without caring about direction and stuff. Edited by prasanna16391 2012-09-20 10:42 PM

233 is same as 332, irrespective of its direction, irrespective of it being horizontal/vertical.

The water cells do not 'have to' be connected. They may or may not be connected. |

I broke 9 puzzles during the test and got completely confused. Probably my worst performance ever.
I hope I won't repeat the same failure in the upcoming WPC and WSC. |

Country : India | The score page is not yet done.
Some quick updates :
deu finished in 63:19 (too long in his opinion), but without mistakes
Melon finished 14 puzzles in 26 minutes (continuing). ETA : Melon finished in 36:52 minutes, with one submission mistake.
I hope to finish the score page soon. |

Country : United States | That was quite a sprint. Most of those puzzles fell in 1-2 minute rushes where the pencil almost didn't leave the page. Trimino Hunt, Battleships, and Snake really gave me trouble though. Probably didn't help that I broke each one midway in.
I continue to be 0 for something in correctly solving/entering sudoku puzzles over the last several months. Glad that was the only error, but that's going to hurt the time bonus... |

Country : India | I had a similar experience to deu's, kept breaking puzzles everywhere, and sometimes didn't see that I broke them. Thats gonna cost me quite a few places in this sprint-like test.
The puzzles themselves were nice. I liked Polyominos and Number Snake most, even though I made a stupid error on both of them during the test time. |

Country : India | NIce puzzles and really needed sprint
Could have solved 3-4 more easily if not some disturbances and mistakes.
But was happy that submitted Fillomino at last second :p
was stuck in doors, snake, nurikabe, in which i made a mistake and it cost me the points as well as time.
Will have to take care from next time as in sprint test 1 mistake as much more effect than in normal test
Anyways Thanks Rohan for nice test :) |

Does it mean that the thick layer region will have water completely or will not have at all ?
If so the example provided doesn't satisfy this rule.

Someone asked a similar query above, and you can refer to that. Anyway, The thick layer region, if it has water, will have at the same height. So suppose there is a scare region, you either have all 4 cells filled (surface height 2 units ) or 2 bottom cells filled (surface height 1 unit ) |

Country : United States | One thing I was surprised by a bit was the penalties on questions that I never managed to figure out at all. I assumed from the earlier posts that if you entered a wrong answer, then a correct one, you'd get partial credit, but entering a wrong answer and never solving it would not incur a penalty by itself. I could have read it wrong, but was a little disappointed.
Very enjoyable puzzles, misunderstanding of penalties aside. :)
Edited to add: And now I see some of those penalties evaporating. Maybe it just needs a little post-processing by the admins.

Yes :- ) We haven't automated that part. It would probably be in place by the next Instant Grading test.
I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzles. |

Like Rohan replied in the previous post, "penalty for puzzles that were never solved" have to be removed manually. It is done now for you, and you can refresh score page to check. |

It's quite well like that.
I just didn't read the IB carefully, and I think it's not written on the forum.
When taking the test, I just thought it was as usual a 120 minutes test. Of course, after solving 13 puzzles in ~73 minutes, I felt that it was a bit strange (generally, on puzzle tests, I'm happy when I'm able to solve half of the puzzles in the given time ).
