Not clear. At the beginning of the round, a player will receive (for example) A1, B1, C1 and D1 or A1, A2, A3, A4? one puzzle of each type or 4 puzzles of one of the four types?

The latter. 4 puzzles of one of the four types will be there on each individual table. We'll try to make this a bit clearer in v2.

I can't see any difference between my old v1 and new v2 Round notes?

How will the time bonus be earned on this round?
Does it require all 4 solvers to deduce their rules and submit all 4 puzzles each and get all those 16 puzzles correct and solve the two team puzzles correctly and not open any envelopes?
I suspect most teams (except the podium teams?) will have people giving up on the individual puzzles so they can take their knowledge to waiting teammates.

What you explained is correct. We will add that.

the score if reduced by 15% if a team opens any number of envelopes OR is reduced by 15% PER EACH ENVELOPE which is open (potentially 45%)?

Per each envelope. I'll make this clearer. And it is potentially 60% I suppose, since a team may open all four envelopes too to see the solved examples again.
