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 ! | ||||||||||||||||||

Also for the mines ,can there be a mine in any cell?(other than the numbered ones) .also what do the numbers outside the grid signify?? 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 :-) | ||||||||||||||||||

| Posts: 3581        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. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Posts: 3581        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. | ||||||||||||||||||

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 ;) | ||||||||||||||||||
