Hello organizers,
I would like to know whether citizens of India temporarily residing abroad are eligible to be a part of the Indian team. For instance, if someone is doing a PhD abroad or is posted to another country for a couple of years, are they eligible?
You are still eligible as long as you hold an Indian passport :)

Hello organizers,
I would like to know whether citizens of India temporarily residing abroad are eligible to be a part of the Indian team. For instance, if someone is doing a PhD abroad or is posted to another country for a couple of years, are they eligible? Nationality is determined by citizenship, not residence. |

Location: India | Hi All,
For all the new members, here is the link for Tapa practise puzzles http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/dl.asp?view=1&attachmentid=22...
The puzzles are sorted from easy to hard, So I recommend you to do it in the same way.
NOTE :
1. Please use the booklet for practising the puzzles only.
2. These puzzles are from a competition previously held at LMI and that competition has nothing to do with the IPC 2012 except for using the puzzles for practise.
3. Please ignore Page 1 of the PDF booklet.
4. Please do not ask any questions about that competition in this thread. |

Location: India | In the sample puzzle for Coded TomTom given in the instruction booklet, the first number should be AH+, right? It's given as AF+, which doesn't lead to a proper solution. |

Location: United Kingdom | Hi,
In the past, IPCs have been open for a longer period to allow international participation. (eg, in parts of USA, it will start at 3:30am).
Will there be the option this year to participate later in the day, or even another day for other nationalities competing as guests? |

Yes, we'll keep it open for Monday midnight GMT time (just like other LMI tests) for international participation. |

Location: United States | Hi.. I am an Indian living in USA... I want to take part in IPC 2012. Since the test is from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm, it will be morning 4:30 am here. What I wanted to know is, will a printer be required or will it be more convenient to solve it if we print the puzzles out on paper? If that is so I will have to run to lab early in the morning :( .... please do give me some suggestions regarding this.. thanx |

A printer helps, and its always best to solve on paper speed-wise, but then, you can easily do it on paint/some similar tool as well. If you want to optimize your performance, you're probably better off with a printer and should probably decide if you can go to the lab early, but as long as you are logically sound in solving the puzzles, it won't affect you a huge lot. I gave IPC 2010 and numerous LMI tests before April on paint :) |

Here is the 2nd batch of practice puzzles. Just 3 of them, but since all are from the variants category, they should help :) |

If you want to be eligible for Selection to Team India, and be in the official Indian IPC results, you should start it at 2 PM and you have till 4.30. It is open for longer mainly for International participants to enjoy the competition at their convenience. |

Are both Battleships going to be Classic? No variant? Both Battleships have same rules. |

Location: India | I thought a 15 minute window is available as per IB, it says for IPC answers will not be accepted after 16.45, referring to previous comments by Prasanna
Pls confirm

Location: United States | Sorry, a bit of a semantics clarification question... Instruction Booklet - Masyu: "and it may not visit all cells" Does this imply that a solution cannot visit all cells, or simply that it is not a requirement that all cells must be visited?
