Yes, I struggled in puzzle #2 as well. I tried now again and found many solutions (even more than 2).
Another comment: The Aquarium rules differ from the usual rules used for that type. Usually all cells of a region within a row are filled or unfilled, independent if there are other fields in between. I should have read the rules better or especially also looked at the example. But common puzzles I normally skip in the instructions. I lost at least half of the time with the sheep and wolves and the aquarium..

Re Ropeko's comment: I've always thought that the version presented here was the usual, and that full rows is the variant.

As a first-timer who's never done most of these puzzle types before, I'm quite happy with 287. (Except for the typo I made when entering an answer for the second Anglers)
It was a fun ride!

I am using a Mac with Safari version 14. This apparently does not have flash player. They say other browsers will drop flash player as well. Anyway, I no longer have any way of participating, all I see is a blank screen below the download buttons.

Thanks to everyone for participating in this contest! I apologize again for the error in the initial booklet and hope that the set was enjoyable overall despite turning out harder than anticipated. Congratulations again to Walker Anderson for being the sole finisher as well!

I've queued up every puzzle from this contest to be posted on my blog with some comments on the constructions. If you're interested in hearing a bit about the behind the scenes or checking out my other works, feel free to check it out here! https://ihnnpuzzles.blogspot.com/

Finally, thank you again to the LMI team for allowing me to run this here.
