And once again in English:
We've uploaded a new instructions file which now contains points and the puzzles sorted by points. Also the solutions codes are explained. To mention them also here: For the pentominos the letters of the pentominos which are outside the loop in alphabetical order, for the double loop (Doppelter Rundweg) the sizes of the areas which are within both loops at the same time, for all other puzzles the sizes of the areas outside the loop in ascending order. These codes are also given in the contest file and the solution form (though the file contains them only in German). Also the contest file contains only the German instructions and no example due to space reasons.
All in all 240 points can be gained. We think that the very best might be able to solve all puzzles, so these can roughly count 2 points per minute.
We have decided to change the start time to 0:01 so that more people have the opportunity to participate. Unforunately we won't be able to babysit the contest the whole time. I'll be present for the first 1-2 hours. Also from 12-16 and 20-24 someone will have an eye on the contest. Apart from that we can't guarantee that we react directly. Questions about the contest should be send via PM to Silke and me so that the currently active person really gets it. We are planning to contact participans with probable misspellings, but won't always be able to do this at once due to the given reasons.
If there are any questions according the contest before Saturday they can as usual be asked here in the forum or by PM.
Enjoy the contest!
