Yes. The test will be extended for International participants similar to last year.
Just to be clear again, Indian participants will only be considered for the official IPC rankings if they compete within the allotted time (which will be announced).

Adding to what Varun has said, the first post of the thread has links to previous year IPCs, which should help.

Small note on the instructions: The Tetromino Division sample puzzle uses 'S', while the list of tetrominos has 'Z'.

Interesting set of types, looking forward to this.

Nice set of puzzles. Looking forward to it.

I could not understand fully Torodial Slitherlinks. e.g. Where top left corner end is wrapping around? and how we are able to complete the loop?

It wraps around both ways. So the left most column of dots and the right most column of dots are really the same column. The same goes for the top most row of dots and the bottom most row of dots. From this we can also get that all corner dots are really the same dot.

According to the example in the IB it's from outside, which is also consistent with most spiral puzzles (put letters from outside).

Its from the outside (The open cell) to the inside, as the example shows.

Some practice for Cross the Streams - http://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/category/cross-the-streams/

For Tetromino Division, the Beginners' Contest authored by Serkan should be helpful - http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/?test=B2014032

Pentomino Division is basically the Pentominous from GMP - http://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/?s=pentominous

Maximal Lengths was on the recent Puzzle GP - http://gp.worldpuzzle.org/content/wpf-puzzle-gp4 (Both Instruction Booklet example and the competition puzzle should be useful).

For Observer Battleships, you can scroll down to puzzle number 12 here - http://puzzleparasite.blogspot.in/2012/11/13th-24-hour-puzzle-champ...

For some of the base types, me and Swaroop had collaborated for a practice set last year with some basic solving tips, which can be seen here - http://prasannaseshadri.wordpress.com/2013/07/03/ipc-preview-practi...

TomTom and Coded TomTom were both in IPC 2012, which is linked to in the opening post.

If others know more helpful links, feel free to post.

Below is a link to a demo page. This demo page is mainly for newcomers who want to do a test run of how the system works for an online competition. You may check the different warning messages you will get for each answer key too.

It will be counted as empty as clear from example (count numbers for 6 in example to understand and clear your doubt).

Pentomino Division is basically the Pentominous from GMP - http://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/?s=pentominous



Note: Pentominous doesn't have the restriction that each region can contain at most one letter, which the competition puzzle, Pentomino Division, does (as mentioned in the Instruction Booklet). Other than this, there's no change.
