Location: India | Swaroop, I guess in the IB example, the path starts from the circle and not from the other end. |
| |
|
  
Location: India | Swaroop, the path starts at R3C1 as Tejal mentioned. Also the boundary wall is missing from the image, if that is your point.
Here is the redrawn image
Note that in the championship it is not necessary to mark the start or end. If the path correctly is drawn, you will get full points. |

Location: India | 1)FOUR SNAILS
i think it can have multiple solutions...
the N of newyork is possible at r5c1,r4c1 and r6c1.
also the N and S of athens can be placed in r4c4,r4c5,r4c6,r5c5,r5c6 differently..
2)NEWS
in the solution it is given wrong and i am not getting proper solution..
in r2c3 it is W and r1c4 it is E but the rule says " directions in region should satisfy their positions with respect to each other"..
please clarify it..?? |

I think you are missing the given "-"
There are dashes at R5C1 R5C5
You can't put a letter where dash is already present |

Location: India | Swaroop, in "NEWS"... For W-E, it need not necessarily be in the same row. In a specific region, if you are to place W-E, just make sure W is on the left hand-side and E on the right hand-side. It may or may not be in the same row. Similarly, if you see R2C4 and R3C5, N-S they are not placed in the same column.
I hope that answers your doubt. |

Location: India | Will the puzzles in the Final be exactly as shown in the Puzzle Types booklet, or will there also be variations of those mentioned?
Also, will there be only one puzzle per type, or a range of different sizes/variations? |
| |
|
Location: India | Puzzle types will be exactly same. No more variations of even those mentioned.
In Round1 and Round2, there will be 1 puzzle from each type.
In Round3, there will be 2 puzzles from each type, one easy and one not-so
We'll publish an Information Booklet which will specify all these and the points distribution. It will take few days. |

ABC Connection: Do all cells have to be used, or can some cells remain empty?
Paint-By-Number: Are the clues in the same order as seen from the given direction?
ABC Connection - You don't need to know if all cells have to be used to solve the puzzle 
Paint-By-Number - Yes, clues are in order. Will change the instruction.
I had the same question for Anglers - Do all the cells have to be used or some may remain empty?
Is the answer same? ;) |

Count the sum of given digits outside. If its equal to the number of cells, then no blank cells :D |

Location: India | For Rd 2 , the grid sizes are given in IB , can the grid size be shared for atleast the easy puzzles in Rd 3 and Rd 1 puzzles |

The reason it is specified for Round2 is because I had to explain the partial points. Otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned that.
I can do that for Round1/3, but will it be really useful for you in planning / making a strategy, I'll do that. let me know.
|
| |
|
Location: India | Oh wait... may be I can't.
Many participants don't read forum, and it will be unfair to publish something about the puzzles here.
Sorry.
As such, if we publish the grid sizes beforehand, it will probably be first of its kind. |

Location: India | Since, i am new to puzzles, wanted to pick and choose which to concentrate on , like points grid size also indicate the complexity of a puzzle,
The grid sizes /range in some cases are surely useful, frameless sudoku, different sums, where combinations are needed
Also if posting in forum is a concern, updated IB is as an option ,open to other view points, |
| |
|
Location: India | I must be sleeping when I wrote that we can't publish here. Obviously, as you said, we can update the IB
Utkaarsh, let me emphasize that the grid size will not reveal anything about puzzle complexity. As a sample, if I say the Frameless sudoku is 9X9, it doesn't signify anything about its complexity. It is only points that tell you more about difficulty.
For players who are new to puzzles, it is important to form a strategy to solve the types you are more comfortable with, irrespective of the grid size or points. |

is it like minimum possible bulbs? Come on Swaroop, it is a standard puzzle, with standard instructions. I've no idea why you are confused. |
