Location: United States		Thanks for sharing this. The puzzle community on LMI is always impressive, and I really enjoy seeing the different solving techniques and discussions here. Some of these puzzles look challenging but very rewarding once solved. @ geometry dash lite

I think there's an error in the online link penpa for 13 - Puzzle Robots 2. The arrows are different from the PB and has no solutions.

Puzzle 13

We have noted that there is an error in the penpa version of Puzzle 13, where the PDF version is correct. As of now we are trying to understand the impact to see if anything needs to be done. Please reach out on logicmasteradmin@gmail.com if you were affected by this error - we will go on a case by case basis unless there are many participants, especially Indians. Otherwise, we will fix the online version now (it is fixed) and keep it as is as this is an important round for the Indian qualifiers.
