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?

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 order.

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

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.

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