The Basics:

• Scores will be determined by the fastest Puzzle Completion Time.
• Screenshot images must be uploaded directly to the site (i.e. no Word files or PDF files), and must show the number of pieces used to complete the puzzle.
• Submissions must also have the completion time visible.
• Completion of at least 25% will count for Participation.
• Individual Puzzle ties will be broken by Submission Time.
