Is there a solution posted for the heyawake? I've started it about 5 times and always run into a contradiction somewhere (despite running in different directions).

Out of curiosity, will there be any more tests this month? Believe me, the marathon was more than sufficient, but just wondering.

There is one Beginners' contest. Details will be announced soon. That is the only confirmed one till now.

Feedback page is now disabled. The top 3 voted puzzles are Statue Park, Araf, Turning Fences.

We will try to include as many of the favorite puzzles as possible in next year's marathon, just like we did this year.

Thank you everyone for voting.

Could someone post a solution for scrabble? I did it during the marathon, but lost my copy. Now I want to give it to my students, but I don't want to work through it again (lazy).
