In the bottom grid of the battleships example, if we toggled the first two cells each of R3 and R5, would we have another solution?

Yes, you are right. The example has muliply solutions. A hope test puzzles will have unique solition.

What about the minesweeper? Has the puzzle in IB more than one solution? Or I missed something during solving?

In Hitori, the instructions say that all the unblackened cells should be connected. Is it valid for the whole puzzle (5 grids) or always for one small puzzle?

After thinking about it, it seems to be slightly impossible to have one grid without connected white cells and the others with connected. So sorry for stupid question

I had the same doubt earlier. But, I wanted to ask by posting an image and thats when I realised I couldn't create such a case (unless the overlapped region consists of just one cell).
Same goes for Yin Yang too.

I couldn't find alternate solution. Describe if you have it.

All rules must be valid for each single grid. But of course sometimes it implies some restrictions for whole puzzle.

Top grid of Hitori. Is there a 2nd solution by colouring the opposite 5 in row 3? Is there actually a 3rd solution there by colouring the opposite 1 (row 2) and 5 (row 3)?

Yes, there was a mistake in this example, which was found by Deb at the last moment and I've corrected picture without checking uniqueness.

And you should have mentioned that it is me who suggested the 'correction' as well. Sorry about the blind suggestion.

The score page doesn't handle the extra time related computations yet. Please allow us some more time to make it complete.

Are you logged in on the puzzle page? If you're not, there won't be a start button yet. If you have three boxes to fill in name, password and country, you have to log in first and then the start button will appear.

I'm no admin, but as far as I have noticed so far, the forum and the test page aren't directly linked with being logged in. So it can occur that you are logged in on the forum, but not on the Test page. So to play a test, you have to make sure you're logged in on the Test Page (here: http://logicmastersindia.com/M201206P ). If there are no boxes to log i on that page now AND there is no start button, then you should contact Deb, as I have no better information available.

The password will be available when you log into test page and press "Star Seven Samurais" button. After the end of test (on June 19) the password will be available without logging.
