Regarding the contest,
When I click on start, It says "The contest is inactive now, and the result will not be included in the official category"

Is this unusual or alright?

Thanks
Mihir

Yes, thank you Riad for these great new ideas and interesting optimisers. (and that 14-point Sudoku was so hard!)

Thank you Takuma, Stefano, James and all the participants for the nice reviews!

OK, when checking, I inserted W instead of N.

Also, Mihailich wrote to me that in his answer to Puzzle 12, the black cell should be CP, not CI. I took note of that, too.

There were similar problems for OlgaShut, Christian, Jo97 as well. Instead of column I, the black cell was put in column P. This is fixed now.

Is the best solution in puzzle 11 correct?

I checked puzzles 10 and 12, and puzzle 11 was checked by the Deb program. Now I see that Christian repeated some letters in the solution. It is necessary to change the points, but this will not change the place in the top three.
Thank you for your comment!

Like Christian and panista, I also missed the rule that letters cannot be repeated. Have uploaded the revised submissions.

Thank you Riad for keeping the continuity of the former Diogen contest, i miss it a lot. That was the time when I entered the puzzle world.

Congartualtions to the top solvers!
