Hi Rohan,

maybe it's a little bit later, but may you answer some questions from the german puzzle community (www.logic-masters.de)? I posted the date in our forum, and some of us eventuelly want to participate, but we can't find some informations on the homepage. Is 14:00 IST the fixed starting time for everybody (like OAPC) or is there a time window and individually starting times are possible? And how much time does everybody have to solve the puzzles?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, been quite busy preparing as the news of IPC came late too.

14:00 IST is fixed starting time (like OAPC) and the duration is of 2.5hrs or 150mins (same as OAPC).

Good luck to all participants!

Finally got a new printer. 460 points and 20 minutes wasted on the superhard "magnets". I still dont get this puzzle. Overall a very nice mix, both from types and from difficulty. Congratulations to everybody who qualified.

Know Why You Need Lenders Mortgage Insurance said...

Good discussions! And without taking on a large financial responsibility and burdensome mortgage, you can still receive high yields and build your investing experience before purchasing a larger property type. Once you have experience and funds, you can then move onto investing in larger homes or take on more ambitious projects such as converted hotels or display home purchases.
