The contest is over!
Thank you for everyone who participated in the contest! Congratulations to

Endo Ken (EKBM) and
Jeffrey Bardon (IHNN) to round up the podium! Congratulations for
Kishore Kumar (kishy72) to be the top Indian solver as well!
We recognize the contest is hard. It was meant for 24-Hour Puzzle Championships, where even top solvers aren't expected to solve every single puzzle. We neglected to mention about this convention ahead of time, so solvers might come with a mistaken understanding and find the contest unexpectedly hard. We apologize for that. We hope you still enjoyed the puzzles, and you'll give a try to all the other puzzles you might have missed during the contest.
The Solutions Booklet has been uploaded below, with some write-up for each puzzle to help with any difficult step you might find. You can also find several bonus puzzles there, which we did not put into the test for one reason or another. Have fun!
