Thanks to all participants.

Top three are as follows:

1. Endo Ken (Japan) [16/16, 49:15 min]
2. Thomas Snyder (USA) [16/16, 52:10 min]
3. Bram De Laat (Netherlands) [16/16, 55:50 min]

Almost everyone in the top 20 submitted answers for all 16 puzzles. Some of those lost crucial points with only one mistake. All of these incorrect submissions differed from the correct answer by only one digit, less or more.

In general, I am very happy about the overall difficulty and that many people completed the test. Many thanks to William Blatt that made this possible.
Endo Ken is not only the winner of this round, but also is the first Japanese solver to win a TVC round. Congratulations for both!
The solver with most wins in all TVCs is now Palmer M. (4), followed by Thomas S. (3) and Ulrcih V. (3). For details: http://logicmastersindia.com/TVC/

For TVC XV, 6 of the 10 puzzle types were determined by your votes. The remaining 4 will be displayed in the IB to be published at the weekend. If you think this kind of voting system is reasonable, we can do it for TVC XVI.

Please feel free to share any ideas.

Best,
