Instruction Booklet has been published and is available on the link (its the same IB for both parts so you can just go to one of the links to download it).

For Part 2, are the puzzles designed to be solved in order?

Ie. Is it possible that a puzzle 'in the middle' is unique on its own?

In the IB:

Part 1: 80 min

Part 2: 113 min



But the contests are set to 60min each, is this intended? Will the timing change?

I'm pretty sure my solution to #2 Between the mirrors is correct, but counted wrong.

I can agree that the solution code for between the mirrors seems to be wrong

I loved the puzzles overall, but I am confused about 'Painting a maze', my solution to the previous puzzle appears to be unique and correct and yet I can't get this one to work... tried 5 times. I'll probably feel stupid when the solutions are posted.

You're not alone in that confusion, Auroux. I tried something like 5 times with a wrong ruleset in my head (I thought the black squares had to connect to the border, like a Cave) and then another 5 times after with the right rules. I'm sure there's a stronger logical path, but I wound up bashing eventually.

Entered the Battleship portion of the Cube around the wrong way. The IB's answer key example being palindromic didn't help. 😔

Thanks Riad for a very nice contest and very cleverly designed puzzles... but just for our egos, will you please adjust the scores for the correct solutions to "Between the mirrors" that were submitted before things got fixed?

For part 1 Off-Road, am I misunderstanding the ruleset? I don't see how the 3rd, 5th, and 10th rows and 8th column can be simultaneously satisfied.

nvm - I did misinterpret the ruleset: The points do not have to be consecutive along the loop path to be considered consecutive for the row/column hint; they merely need to be used by the loop with no unused points in between.

What does "All the letters O are already given" mean in the Scrabble puzzle? Could someone explain, please?
