Country : India | About April ContestPlease note this contest will have a slightly different format than regular LMI tests. The format will be same as earlier IPST contests that Riad has been organizing in the past.
Key differences from regular LMI tests:
• There will not be an IB (i.e. no Instructions Booklet )
• The PB (Puzzle Booklet ) will not have any password
• After the contest starts, you can download the pdf and start solving. Login at the contest page to start submitting.
• There is no time limit. You can submit until the contest ends.
• There will be some optimizer puzzles.
• Same scores will have same rank (i.e. early submissions do not count towards rank )
• Russian version of the April contest booklet will be posted on http://forsmarts.com/forum/

Is there any penalty for wrong submissions ??
As I know from the earlier contests, there are no penalties.
Your goal is to find the best solution and you will get some points. If your solution does not fulfit the rules, you will get 0 points. Or not? |

Generally in this type, they are not allowed to touch by a side or corner. |

Generally in this type, they are not allowed to touch by a side or corner. Confirmation from Riad : Para is correct. Clouds are not allowed touch each other, even at a point. |

a) Is the belt an open path or a loop?
b) What does "inside the belt mean?" Is it on the belt, in the enclosed space, or the union of the above? |
