A lot of truly original puzzle ideas, and they were a lot of fun. Unfortunately there was not enough time to even start many of them, so it seems some of the effort was wasted. I always intend to finish them later but it doesn't always happen. I prefer the marathon/timeless format. The speed demons will still win (with their bonus points) but other solvers will get a chance to try all the puzzles.

It looks like ending time of this test is shown incorrectly in the submission page, which is contrary to what was announced in this forum.
I'm going to participate on Monday night (or Tuesday early morning) in our time, and I'd like to know if this is possible.

Nice test, thanks a lot. It is hard to believe that someone could finnish this test in 66 minutes, amazing!
My result also surprised me, I even guessed 3 of 4 letters of the Pentomino variant in the last seconds of contest, with almost empty grid :)
