The Latin Tapa is much harder when you are ignoring the clockwise rule. The bottom one deserves 100 points and the upper one at least 1000

I agree, the Latin Tapa stumped me for a significant while longer than the other ones. It was the only blip on an otherwise perfect contest (I mean from a competitive perspective, from an enjoyment perspective all puzzles were great!)
