How on earth are the small puzzles worth that many points? I solved quite a few of them quite a bit faster than I solved the classics. |

I'm not quite sure what is trying to be achieved with the 50% easy, 40% medium, 10% hard distribution - the last few competitions have felt very disjointed with many puzzles you can breeze through before getting held up by one or two much harder puzzles. My personal preference is to have a much more even difficulty level.
This is to take nothing away from the individual quality of the puzzles - in isolation each was very nice! |
