Location: United States | For Mad Max, I did not get as much in the top as rob has in that image, but I had the rest. When I was stuck there I decided I would try to shade in all the unclued squares, save for the top left where at least one had to be left white, and see if that worked. Wasn't 100% sure though when I was done, since it could have been possible to squeeze out more by leaving more squares at the intersections of clues unshaded. I eventually convinced myself that there was no way a puzzle in a timed contest could be that cruel to have the valid and fairly well-constrained solution I had found and not have it be right, but it was a doubt I had even as I went to claim time bonus...
By the way rob, why didn't you shade R10C6 and R10C11? =P |

Location: The Netherlands | Thanks rob, I hadn't noticed the Tapa bit was that much constrained. I was expecting more of maximise coloured unclued cells vs minimise double clued cells. But it seems the optimise bit was much smaller in this puzzle.

Yes, I really should have that pattern down by now.
