Even without prizes at stake, LMI faces the problem of cheats too often.

Do you know if it is just LMI, or every other online contests, which are open for more than 2 hours?

I remembered something going on during the early days of Sudoku Cup. I'm not sure if UKPA has the same problem or not.
LMI is probably the biggest and most active online puzzle community so it is a safe bet that LMI is most susceptible to cheaters.

I think there's bound to be cheaters everywhere. There's some that may be erased before the results are displayed, or whatever. A lot of other sites don't have a running score-page during the test, so we wouldn't know. Anyway, I think we all have a fair idea of the top players in the world, so its difficult for a newcomer to just cheat their way through to a top 10 or something, so the WPF tournament shouldn't have a big issue there.

Thanks Fred. I think the types and difficulty level suited me more.

Bit disappointed with PS and Rohan's score though. I was expecting a top ten-ish finish for PS given that there were many many irregulars and killer-like stuff. I understood he loves them always.

Lots of ties in the top, but Jan is clearly ahead of others. Prasanna is placed at 12/13.

As announced by WPF, the Serbian Round will be held here at LMI. IB for that can be expected around 2 weeks prior to the event.
