Not sure if it was efficient but my plan of distributing solving between paper and Penpa worked kinda well :) Rushed through lower pointers on computer, did some of 6-8 pointers on paper in case I needed more notation.
Very fun and smooth puzzles overall. My favorites were Norinori 1, LITS 2, Kurodoko 3, Easy as LITS 2, Kurotto Connections 2.
Thanks Nityant!

Very nice set of puzzles Nityant. I enjoyed all the puzzles. Each puzzle was logically solvable without any guesswork.
Thanks for these puzzles. Looking forward to more puzzles created by you in the future.

Excellent set of Puzzles Nityant. Really enjoyed the test even though my performance was below par. My favorite sets were LITS and Easy as LITS.
Regarding Kurotto Connections 1 answer submission of 3rd column, I think I misinterpreted dark circle and treated alongside shaded cells. Not sure if it can be waived.

Unfortunately, the point of instant grading is that these errors get spotted and the solver has an opportunity to fix them, so I can't award points here.

I really loved the 3rd Heyawake, all Tapas and LITS (along with its variant).

Great work Nityant!
Hope to see more puzzles from you :D

Thanks to the 216 participants, and the 79 finishers. Relatively high number of finishers in this round.

Congratulations to Jeffrey Bardon, Endo Ken, Freddie Hand, Murat can Tonta, and Walker Anderson for taking the top 5 spots - and finishing under 30 minutes.

In fact, Jeffrey Bardon's score in this test (168.15) came very close to Endo Ken's 169.817 (PR 2016/17 - Shading and Loops) and 169.483 (PR 2020- Shading and Loops).

Also, Congratulations to Ashish Kumar, Swaroop Guggilam, Rajesh Kumar and Madhav Sankaranarayanan for taking the top four spots from India and completing all puzzles in time.

Thanks to Nityant Agarwal for authoring this round! His debut on LMI as an author! Nice puzzles which felt human made, and were very enjoyable!

Those who missed taking part in this test can still take this test unofficially.
