Please note: The solving time has been changed to 40 minutes.
(I have only a very vague idea about the actual difficulty of the contest puzzles, but it felt right to add 10 minutes.)

Nice little contest. Thanks for sharing.

I'm still wondering (30 minutes after I finished), what could "Puzzle XX" be?

Edit : Edited the puzzle number

Missed too many basic types (Snake - I kept thinking it would be Fillomino for a while, but Snake came to my mind too)

I think your original estimate of 30 minutes was more perfect. Since all the grids were 3X4 or 3X3, not much solving was needed. Either one could associate the rule or they can't.

I'm wondering if it would have been a good idea to provide a list of 100 or 200 puzzle types for this contest. But having a chat with Zoltan, and he mentioned that providing a list may kill the whole concept of the contest. I probably agree with him.

Thanks again for all the fun.
