Location: United States | "Which equation yields maximum output?
Only addition and subtractions are used."
Is this just for the example or for the actual test that only addition and subtraction are used? |

"Which equation yields maximum output?
Only addition and subtractions are used."
Is this just for the example or for the actual test that only addition and subtraction are used? Actual test also.
As we mentioned, the instructions for the example puzzle and test puzzle are same for all. |

Location: India | *I don't think I understand the rules of Max Turns and Max Weights.
*In Max Weights,I got maximum weight for C in the following way :
(3A+B)2 = C(1)+D(2)
which gives C =4 //D = 3//A = 1 //B= 2
Why is the solution D ???
*For Max Arrows,the solution is shown as (?) It should be B
Also,while taking the demo,I found the progress meter in green at the top showing how the time is being eaten very irritating and distracting.I would trust my eyes to look at the corner of the screen rather than some other factor indicating to me that my time is going down...... |

On Weights, A=1, B=3, C=4, D=2. So, answer is C. Will fix it.
On Max Turns, A=2, B=1, C=5, D=3. Do you how a laserbeam works with mirrors?
*For Max Arrows,the solution is shown as (?) It should be B
Sorry :-)

Based on previous ST's feedback, the small little digits in the corner is 'too subtle', and players liked the idea of a bar (so that they know how soon the time will end from the corner of an eye). Not sure which is better, we will try out the green bar this time.

Location: India | Thanks a lot Rohan for the clarification and Deb for the image . I understand now the rules of it.As regards time,if the green meter is tried out this year ,I only hope that I somehow manage to mentally shut it down during the test......
Looking forward to ST5 ! |

For Max Shapes, S appears 10 times and T appears 6 times. Remember, the shapes can be rotated/reflected.
For Mines, there can be a mine on any cell which doesn't have a clue. The numbers outside the grid are the answer options, nothing to do with the puzzle :-)

Location: India | Clarifying rules of "Max Tiles"It seems the rules for "Tiles" is not clear to some players.
Please note that
1 ) the Tile can appear anywhere in the right side grid. See updated example below.
2 ) It is not like domino where [3 4] is same as [4 3].
We have updated the example.
The answer to this is D (Tile 43 )
Tile A (12 ) appears 3 times in the grid, Tile B (23 ) appears 3 times, Tile C (34 ) appears 2 times in the grid, and Tile D (43 ) appears 4 times in the grid.

Location: India | About "Max Shapes"It should be clear from the grid and example, but following line is missing from the instructions "Black cells can not used while placing the shapes."

Location: India | Details about Penalty structureThere is no penalty if you Skip a Puzzle.
Otherwise, minimum penalty for getting a puzzle incorrect = 25.
Additionally, you get more penalties depending upon how many other players submit the same or other wrong answers.
Example :
Lets say a puzzle has 4 options.
Option 1) Correct Answer
Option 2) submitted by x number of players
Option 3) submitted by y number of players
Option 4) submitted by z number of players
Lets have P = max(x,y,z)
Total penalty for players submitting Option 2) = 25 + 25 * ( P - x ) / P
Total penalty for players submitting Option 3) = 25 + 25 * ( P - y ) / P
Total penalty for players submitting Option 4) = 25 + 25 * ( P - z ) / P
So, the higher is the difference between 'most incorrect' and 'your incorrect', higher is the penalty.

Is there any penalty for not submitting an answer of a puzzle? Like, what if the times up and answer is not submitted?
Also note that, if you select the answer and keep, but didn't click on Next Puzzle.
Then it will get automatically submitted once the time is over. So don't select any option unless you are sure about it. Of course not in the case when you want to try your luck of guessing ;) |
