I am not able to understand the difference between:
1. The top ranked player for the particular puzzle; and
2. The best player for the particular puzzle

No difference. They are the same.

That means 100 is the maximum score a person gets (by the person who solves fastest correctly) : 50+25+25. Am I getting it right?

Answer Keys

If any row/column/cell has a double or triple digit answer key, only the unit (right-most digit) digit
should be entered. (This rule is applicable to all puzzles except Statue Park and Summon).

So we are coming up with a revised structure for points table as below. Do share your thoughts on this.


It looks much improved, Rakesh, thank you.

Good luck everyone, have fun!

Puzzle Marathon 2015 has started

Puzzle Marathon has started. 7 puzzles are available now.
Submission page has details about each puzzle (size / relative difficulty / author).

The puzzles are sorted based on relative difficulty (i.e. easiest puzzles at top & most difficult puzzles at the bottom).
As it happens in many cases, difficulty is a matter of perception and preference. So your experience may differ.

The remaining 3 puzzles will be uploaded soon.

Good Luck all !!

I took my printout of Fillomino and there are absolutely no grid lines in between except on the borders....Now I need to draw lines with a scale in between

I would advise the LMIans to prefer the one with the solid lines as my printer had a problem with the former and completely missed printing the dotted lines in between.I would stop myself short here by saying that the Fillomino puzzle by itself is absolutely delightful and perfect!!!Good luck to all!

Fillomino seems to suffer the slightest ambiguity at the very end, and not affecting the key (unless I somehow messed up): R13C2 and R13C3 contain some permutation of 20,1.

R13C2 and R13C3 have no ambiguity.

Why is Hidoku listed with 4 players when it hasn't been uploaded yet?

Is there anyway to give up on a puzzle once started? I am finding the Nurikabe impossible to solve logically (certainly not "easy") and trial and error is not much fun.

Finally got it after a lot of erasing. I guess I'm used to Nikoli nurikabes that never seemed that hard. Need to figure out new theorems or guess better.

It's half-time for me (5 puzzles solved). This contest is always so interesting.
A question about the results : because of the calculation, it is not possible to have the complete score, with bonus, before the competition ends, but we could see the problems solved, the time used... Is this "the results that will be available soon ?"

I can't see the results, do I have a problem or is it the same for all?

Score page is now available. Please note, the bonus computation is not corrected (updated as per this year's rule) yet. It will be corrected some time soon.

Link, as usual, http://logicmastersindia.com/2015/03P/score.asp . You can only view the scores of puzzles that you have solved.
