Instruction Booklet has been published and is available on the link (its the same IB for both parts so you can just go to one of the links to download it).

For Part 2, are the puzzles designed to be solved in order?
Ie. Is it possible that a puzzle 'in the middle' is unique on its own?

In the IB:
Part 1: 80 min
Part 2: 113 min

But the contests are set to 60min each, is this intended? Will the timing change?

I'm pretty sure my solution to #2 Between the mirrors is correct, but counted wrong.

For part 1 Off-Road, am I misunderstanding the ruleset? I don't see how the 3rd, 5th, and 10th rows and 8th column can be simultaneously satisfied.

What does "All the letters O are already given" mean in the Scrabble puzzle? Could someone explain, please?
