Location: India | Bonus StructureThe WP Mini Marathon is similar to Puzzle Marathon in many ways. So the bonus structure will be exactly same.Details ===== For any particular round Let, n = number of players submitting all puzzles correctly in the round within 60 minutes B = Solving time of the best player M = Median solving time of the n players There are 2 components for bonus in each round. Rank Bonus = 60 * (n + 1 - player's rank) / n So the best player gets 60 points as Rank bonus. Solving Time Bonus If a player's solving time is <= M, he will get 30 + 30 * ( player's solving time - M ) / (B - M) (A linear distribution between 30 and 60 between the best player and the player with median time) If a player's solving time is > M, he will get 30 - 30 * ( player's solving time - M ) / (60 minutes - M) (A linear distribution between 30 and 0 between the player with median time and 60 minutes) So the best player again gets 60 points as Solving Time Bonus. Also, as mentioned in the IB,

Typed Logic Author Posts: 241 Location: Indonesia | In IB, the rules of Price Tag has the following: "each placeholder becomes a digit". Does this mean every set of segments must become a digit and may not be left empty? For example, in "_1 + _9 = 10", there are two empty places. | ||

Th IB says that "It means that to solve the middle puzzle it is necessary to find the correct positions of outer puzzles". Identifying which corner goes where is a part of the solving process. | ||

WPMM Author Posts: 66 Location: Hungary | chaotic_iak - 2013-09-18 8:18 AM In IB, the rules of Price Tag has the following: "each placeholder becomes a digit". Does this mean every set of segments must become a digit and may not be left empty? For example, in "_1 + _9 = 10", there are two empty places. There aren't empty placeholders. _1+_9=10 is invalid. And don't forget that numbers cannot start with zero, so 01+09=10 is invalid, as well. amitsowani - 2013-09-18 11:40 AM chaotic_iak - 2013-09-18 9:06 AM Also, in Pentomino Samurai, will we get the grid in samurai fashion in the actual PB (instead of assembling them first like in the IB)? Th IB says that "It means that to solve the middle puzzle it is necessary to find the correct positions of outer puzzles". Identifying which corner goes where is a part of the solving process. Amit is right. There will be five separated grids. You can recognise the middle one, because its corners are grey. Just like in the example. You have to build up the correct Samurai grid. | ||
