I was lucky to have the idea to submit after 73 minutes... How long did you want the timing to be? ![]() 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). Fred |

I am returning to LMI tests after a long time. Happy to see a new feature of not showing the comments which were posted after test gets started. Very nice feature. Good going LMI! |

Posts: 123 ![]() ![]() Country : India | macherlakumar posted @ 2012-09-24 1:00 AM Very nice puzzles Rohan. After completing Arithmetic Box I read the puzzle twice, because there was no 3 used (I thought all numbers need to be used). What happened with Tapa is my worst ever in LMI tests, because after solving it in 2 minutes the correct solution is right infront of my eyes, but something kept on saying in my head that the shaded cells must complete a loop :( and I kept on solving it for 6 times. We can call this test as this years Sprint test. Regards, Ravi |

Posts: 145 ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : France | auroux posted @ 2012-09-24 7:14 PM Solving puzzles while watching over a small baby is not the best way to stay focused during a sprint. Never trust that a baby will sleep 80 minutes straight at nap time. I guess I didn't do too badly considering this, but without baby I probably would have finished... oh well, one never knows. |

Posts: 199 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : United States | motris posted @ 2012-09-24 9:26 PM Thanks for the contest; the title suggested a sprint and I really enjoyed the pace. A few hiccups for me - surprisingly on the Battleships which was my favorite puzzle but where after the key insight I didn't explore possible 3-ship space really well, and also on the Number Snake where my mind was telling me "digits don't repeat in columns/rows" around a clue so I couldn't make the 15 work. I must be solving too many puzzles these days as practice. I'm confusing all the rules! |

Congrats to Palmer, Florian and Ulrich for the top 3 places. I'm glad that many players were able to finish the test. I believe Instant Grading was helpful to many players, and any feedback regarding it, or the puzzles or the test, is welcome. Thanks to Nikola Zivanovic for testing the puzzles. Good Luck to everyone for the World Championships next week! |

Posts: 315 ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : The Netherlands | Para posted @ 2012-09-26 2:47 AM I was unhappy after I was done as I wasted at least 5 minutes on the fillomino as I hadn't noticed I had made a typo and thus thought I had made a solving error. Overall my result isn't that bad. Had fun overall. |
