SM 2024 R3 - Math & Neighbours (5th - 11th Apr) Score Discuss
Riad's April Contest 2024 (13th - 21st April) has started Discuss

Welcome to LMI's Patronage Page. The Patreon page representing this site covers the pledge details (and will be linked to in a day or two), so here we have the details of the puzzle sets available, and also planned sets for the future. These sets are available as free E-books for Patrons. We will soon work out standalone costs as well, so that direct purchases can be made by e-mailing us. The main feature we are requesting support for is the website, but we will make an effort to put in exclusive Puzzle packs here as well. Some of these packs have already been used in competitions around the world, however, please note that the hints feature is exclusive to the packs available here.

A few quick notes -
1. We are planning to bring more structure to LMI and get it recognized as an association among other things. We will have an official LMI account, but that seems to be at the end of a long, arduous process. For now we will be using a personal account of one of our members as a stop-gap.
2. Certain discounts will be applicable for Indians interested in purchasing these PDFs. One of LMI's main motives is to further puzzles in India, and so there will be an effort made to involve more Indians. Please contact patronage@logicmastersindia.com to request a discount.
3. Your funding will initially be used for LMI activities within India such as getting recognized, registered and maintaining the group. Our goal at this point is to prioritize building a better foundation in India again, but we want to be able to continue running the LMI website for our International participants as well. If at any point these goals are achieved, some funding will be shifted to the contests themselves in some way.
4. As of now the Puzzle pack section below is limited to Indian authors, and we haven't thought about expanding further yet. If that possibility arises, it'll be mentioned in the forum. Indian authors are welcome to contact Prasanna Seshadri (prasannaseshadri@logicmastersindia.com) if they are interested in receiving mails about planned packs where puzzles can be contributed.

With all that being said, the puzzle packs available currently are as follows -
