Erasing may also be a problem for the case the desks are shared by two people and your deskmate makes too much mistakes or trials :) So my question: in individual solving, do we share our desks or not ?
Two participants will sit on each desk. I think that has been the standard for a few years.
Lets hope everyone gets good deskmates :- )
I remember shared desk in Beijing and Sofia, not shared desk in London and Senec. I here suggest that if someone will set a standard, not shared desk in individual competition should be chosen.
Aahhh ok, I understand now. In Senec, there were two 'desks' touching each other where two participants sat, hence, each one having their own 'desk', but together in pairs. In Sofia, there was one 'desk' where two participants sat together, one on each end.
We preferred one desk per participant. But unfortunately, this wasn't available and we had to go with one larger desk for two participants.

This is eligible only for those participating in their first WSC.

We have used the same paper quality for multiple offline championships in India (including our nationals in July-2017), and they have stood the test of solvers without any problems.
That is why I suggested you can try out your instruments on the IB we provide you on Sunday, 15th October, since it uses the same ink and paper as the PB. Do you have any other suggestion?
How did you test it last year?
Ok good to know that it’s tried and tested at previous competitions, that’s all you needed to say :)
I didn’t test last year as I didn’t really think about it - but I think it was a small problem on some puzzles, which is why I want to be prepared this year. I guess it adds some reassurance if the organisers are able to say they’ve at least thought about this potential issue! |

Location: United States | The book defines "Arithmetic Progression" as
"A sequence of digits are in arithmetic progression if every consecutive pair of digits in the sequence have the same difference. The difference cannot be 0."
According to this definition, 2,4,6,4,6,4,6,8,6,4,2,4,6 would be an Arithmetic Progression.
I'm thinking it's safe to assume that the definition is imprecise and that consecutive pairs of digits need to have the same difference in the same direction for it to be an arithmetic progression, but please let us know if there is a chance of a "trick" here.

Yes, the pairs have the same difference in the same direction.

Location: The Netherlands | Just a general question. Will the Instruction Booklets handed out at the WSC be the latest possible version or have they already been printed?
If they are already printed, is it possible to print an addendum page to be handed with any corrections or clarifications that have been made here since the printing?

It will be the final version.
We will be publishing an entire list of changes along with the final version of the IB on the website / forum.
