Request to Review Submission Time – Sudoku GP Round

Dear Organisers,

I would like to request a review of my submission timing for the recent Sudoku GP round.

I downloaded the PDF and revealed the password at approximately 8:12 pm UK time on 11 July 2026, which corresponds to the recorded password time of 21:12:33 (GMT+2).

I completed the puzzles and clicked the "Send Answers" button at approximately 9:48 pm UK time. At that moment, the submission page still displayed "The remaining time: 12 sec."

However, after submitting, I received the message stating that my answers had been received after the time limit.

Would it be possible for you to check the server logs and confirm:

when my submission request was received by the server,
and whether it was initiated before the countdown expired?

I understand that the recorded receipt time may be after the deadline, but since the page still showed 12 seconds remaining when I clicked "Send Answers," I wanted to ask whether the submission may have been delayed during processing rather than being started after the deadline.

Thank you very much for your time and for organising the competition.

Kind regards,
Sri Soudamini Konka
