If you have any photo editor, that should do the trick. If you are probably not aware of how to use that, an alternative is to use a laptop. Simply download the image, open it your downloads, right click on the image and open it either in paint/photos. ( If it's photos, you'll see an edit option, in that a pen like option, using which you can mark the Bingo cards). -- this is for Windows. Afaik, this is the same in Mac. -- except you'll not have paint, you can straight away open it in photos.

If it's paint, you can simply cross out the numbers you have recieved. I hope this helps.

The box marked as “Free” doesn’t have any number; it’s simply marked as free, right?

If so, does it mean a Bingo along the middle row, middle column, or either diagonal can happen with only 4 marked numbers (from the 30 called ones) instead of 5, even though Rule 2 says it needs 5?

Yeh doubt toh mujhe bhi aayi thi. I googled it and it says yes, if the box is marked free then, it means it's known as 'called', which means the player can use it as a slot for which the number has been called. (Basically to reduce the game time / making it easier for the player)

I'm not sure how it works in Shreya's game.

Free Space – The space in the middle of all bingo cards that is “free” to the player and is considered “called.” Free spaces usually count towards winning a bingo game. Some bingo games are won by playing “the hard way” or without the benefit of the Free Space.

One doubt. How long would be the first round? I can only join the IF group tomorrow at 1pm as it's usually my lunch time. I need to logout by 1.30pm EST so please try to finish by 1.25pm.

How do we inform you about the slots? Here or PM?

Either works.

You can download to something like Word or Excel and use a pen or insert a shape.

Or you can do the second option of just writing down the numbers that you got bingo with. For example, if your bingo card looks like this you could write down

"13, 18, 37, 58, 61" top row makes bingo

Due to work, I also sadly won't be able to join any life slot

That's okay. I'll PM you the numbers after the live slots are over and give you 24 hours to respond so you will still be able to play.

Correct. The "free" basically is a number that you will always get.

Yep that should be fine. I have to "call" 30 numbers and for IF my plan is to post 2 numbers every minute so it should take about 15 minutes just for the numbers. At the beginning I'll give 5 minutes for any questions. So I think it should be done by 1:20. And if you need to leave in the middle that's fine. I'll be PMing everyone the numbers anyways so you'll still get the numbers.

I don’t think I will be able to join the live slot.

As I am busy with my work.

Will be waiting for your PM.

Thanks.
