Location: United Kingdom | Top grid of Hitori. Is there a 2nd solution by colouring the opposite 5 in row 3? Is there actually a 3rd solution there by colouring the opposite 1 (row 2) and 5 (row 3)? |

Yes, there was a mistake in this example, which was found by Deb at the last moment and I've corrected picture without checking uniqueness. |

• Password protected pdf is uploaded. It has 8 pages, including a cover page with points table.
• Submitting during extra time will be considered only if points scored during extra time is more than penalty.
PS : A wrong date was entered as the start time of the test, and 4 players have participated in last few hours. This has been rectified, but those players' scores will be valid.

Are you logged in on the puzzle page? If you're not, there won't be a start button yet. If you have three boxes to fill in name, password and country, you have to log in first and then the start button will appear. |

I'm no admin, but as far as I have noticed so far, the forum and the test page aren't directly linked with being logged in. So it can occur that you are logged in on the forum, but not on the Test page. So to play a test, you have to make sure you're logged in on the Test Page (here: http://logicmastersindia.com/M201206P ). If there are no boxes to log i on that page now AND there is no start button, then you should contact Deb, as I have no better information available. |

Isn't it interesting why the admins / organizers / author didn't post the password?
May be they didn't have the password! |

Minesweeper costs 20 point for all solvers. 25 is the number of minus to be placed, not points. |

Location: United States | Thanks for some amazing puzzles. I had no idea the overlapping grids concept could result in challenges like what we got here. Yin-yang and Fences/Slitherlink were probably my favorites.
Surprised (in a positive way) at my performance, given how little energy I've had to devote to puzzles in the last month. |

Location: India | Seven Samurais is now over. Results are as usual available here
deu had a perfect 7. He finished with 01:57 to spare. Several others came close, but had typos. ppeetteerr and nyuta take next 2 positions. Congratulations.
Out of 229 players, 157 players solved at least one puzzle (and 1 player was disqualified). Thank you everyone for participating.
Not very encouraging results among Indian players. Rohan, Harmeet and Prasanna take the top spots.
About partial scores : Given the nature of the answer keys, there were lots of wrong submissions. We believed that some of them are typos. So we have been bit lenient this time and awarded 80% to some entries which we thought are typos with some amount of certainty.
Thanks Andrey for all the effort you have put for the contest. Request you to share your thoughts about first contest at LMI.
ETA : deu's score is 815.63, not 815.91

Location: Japan | Although my performance was pretty bad, I really enjoyed the interlocked puzzles; it is something like "1+1+1+1 is more than 4".
Thanks Andrey so much! |

Location: Russia | Congratulations to Hideaki, Peter and Nagata for taking the top three in this test. Thanks to all participants.
The durations seemed to be too small and after first participants I was afraid nobody could solve all puzzles. So I'm glad to see seven solvers with 28 submissions. But only Hideaki solved all puzzles in time and without mistakes.
It was my first test at LMI and I'm very impressed by Deb's efforts on holding it. He changed scoring system especially for the contest and helped me a lot in all matters. Thanks Deb very much.
I hope to repeat this experience in future and make at least one more contest here. |

Yin-Yang is my favorite too. It was a first samurai which I prepared for Moscow Cup competition and it starts the idea.
My second favorite is Easy As ABCD - I had most troubles creating it. Every second clue added to the puzzle led into conflict with previous and I discovered new solving idea. Of course most clues in the final puzzles do not need for unique solutions, but puzzles so was hard enough.
Fences was the most doubtful puzzle - the loop at overlapped parts seems to break rules (it even not a loop :) ). But I think example gives complete picture of the idea. |
