Posts: 13 Country : United States | radekivv posted @ 2011-01-23 3:10 PM Administrator - 2011-01-23 1:08 AM There was an outage for about eight hours. The site is now back up and running. The problem is not expected to recur. The test timing will be extended by 24 hours. We'll individually contact those who were in the middle of the test when the site went down. Does it mean that it will be possible to solve the puzzles till Monday? It still shows on the submisison page that the puzzles have to be submitted by Sunday evening (U.S. Central time). Thanks, Radek |

Posts: 225 Country : Thailand | tamz29 posted @ 2011-01-23 9:42 PM Firstly, congratulations on the puzzle set, I like the presentation a lot. Secondly, while I was entering solutions - the grids came up with 'try again' when I clicked 'show cells to fill' - hence, I had to type all numbers in since I was solving on paper - luckily, this restored when I had about 15 minutes left. Any ideas what happened? Thirdly, I re-checked the Numerologidoku and still can't figure out where I went wrong. Great puzzles, a superb debut from Rakesh. Congratulations once again. |

Country : India | debmohanty posted @ 2011-01-24 11:10 AM TroyS - 2011-01-24 10:50 AM That is pretty strange. Nobody reported the problem so far. Which version of reader do you have? (and which OS?)I don't think my adobe reader can input a password that long. |
