Questions related to Round 8 : Gandhari's Solidarity should be posted here.

Could you share pictures of the raised adhesive tape, bindis and hard rhinestone stickers?
Also, how thick are bindis and hard rhinestone stickers?

When and How do you announce the remaining time?

Is the point scaling for finishers linear from first finisher to last finisher, indeoendently of timing, and does it depend on whether the team is an A team or B team?

For example, if there are 4 finshers, would the bonus points be 300, 225, 150, 75?

For example, if the finishers were

1st A Team
2nd A Team
1st B Team
3rd A Team

Then would this be treated as 4 finishers, or 3 "official" finishers? If it's the latter, would the bonus points be

1st A Team 300
2nd A Team 200
1st B Team 100 (ie the points they would have got if they were an official team)
3rd A Team 100

We will have some mock ups of this available during the Q&A. Hope that helps.

The remaining time will be announced by the organisers on mic when the below times are left - 20 mins, 10 mins, 5 mins and 2 mins.

- Yes, the point scaling is linear, independent of timing.
- The bonus points will be normalised based on Team A's submission. If B/C team(s) submits before time, they will get the average bonus of the two A teams who submitted before and after them. In the example above, the B/C team(s) will get 150 points and the 3rd A team gets 100 points.
- If more than one B/C teams submits between two A teams, all of them will get the same bonus points.
- If B/C team(s) submit before the first A team to submit, each of them will get 300 bonus points. The first A team to submit will also get 300 bonus points.
- If the last team (s) to submit before time are B/C team(s), their bonus points will be the average of the bonus points of last A team finishing and zero.

"The number of bindis in each cell will be counted as the final digit for that cell."
Just to be sure, this does not include the rhinestone stickers already in the grid? e.g. if 2 pips are in the given grid and the right digit is 6, then 6 stickers should be placed inside (not 4).

This will include the rhinestone stickers already in the grid. If 2 rhinestone stickers are given and the correct digit is 6, 4 bindis need to be placed such that 2_PLUS_4 will make the correct digit 6.
