The contest is over, and the table should be visible for everyone; I have not finalized the standings yet. Score adjustment requests (for 80% of the points) are still possible until Wednesday noon.

So far, I have only sent a message to the participants when the syntax for a solution code was wrong. If you believe you have solved one or more puzzles correctly and your solution codes are not accepted, please let me know (email: hcs@hausigel.de), and I will get back to you asap.

Thanks a lot for participating.

Hi,
after the contest is over, it cannot be started until the scores have been finalized and the contest has been put in "free" mode. This will happen in about two days; I have sent you a private message with the password.

Hi,

The scoring for the contest HCS 2 has been finalized.

Hi folks,

The contest has started. Good luck to all participants.

The contest HCS 3 is over, the preliminary scoring should be visible. I have already made manual adjustments in case of typos. Further score adjustments are only intended for "wrong" solution codes if there is an actual solution with the respective words. Please submit any requests until Wednesday noon, then I will finalize the scoring.

Hello,
the contest is over, and I would already like to thank all participants, even though only four of the twelve intended HCS rounds are finished. I appreciate every single attendance, no matter if the participants are top solvers or try only a handful of puzzles in each contest.
As usual, I have sent messages to those who entered a solution code with the wrong syntax. I have also made a couple of score adjustments without penalty for puzzle 3 (Anglers) where the wrong entries were based on an unwanted alternative interpretation of the solution code. Further score adjustments will only take place on the initiative of the participants. I will finalize the scoring on Wednesday noon, you can sent score adjustment requests (to: hcs@hausigel.de) until then.

Hello,
just a short reminder that the contest HCS 5 will start tomorrow.
Concerning manual adjustments: As usual, I will inquire in case of wrong syntax; apart from that, adjustments are only made on request of the participant. In either case, you can only receive 80% of the points.

The contest is over, please send any score adjustment requests (hcs@hausigel.de) no later than Wednesday noon, after that I will finalize the scoring.

Hi folks,
the contest HCS 7 will take place Jul 12-15.
The topic of this contest is: Instructionless. I know that contests of this nature are generally controversial. There is a thread in the German forum for more information about the interpretation of the contest rules. Questions are welcome, of course. Link to the thread:

The demonstration puzzle in the instruction file contained an error, I have uploaded a corrected version. Sorry.
Hausigel

Just a short reminder that the contest HCS 7 (Instructionless) will start in a few hours. Please note that manual score adjustments will only take place if you can convince me that you have found an alternative solution, not in case of typos of any kind. Good luck to all participants.

Hello,
I have made a very stupid error (thanks to uvo for noticing). There is a new version of the contest file, uploaded on Friday at 12.35; the order of the puzzles, some scores and two puzzles (9 and 10 in the corrected version) have changed.
I apologize for the inconvenience. I hope those who downloaded the old version can read this in time. If there are any problems related to this issue, I will of course adjust the scores in your favor.
Hausigel

The contest is over, thanks to all participants.
Score adjustment requests can still be made until Sunday (hcs@hausigel.de); see the German forum for more details.
