We are about halfway through our special two week binder design competition. As of March 20, 17:00 GMT players have shared 64 valid submissions in Puzzle 1968! Participants still have until March 26, 23:00 GMT to submit as many 10,000 point solutions as possible.

Note: We've had to reject a surprising number of submissions that violate rule #2 of the competition, which states that players must restart the puzzle for each submission. We think there may have been some confusion about this rule, and we'll be looking into these rejections to try and figure out if they represent honest work that should be accepted. If you think some of your submissions may have been falsely rejected, please send a private message to bkoep.

We are announcing a special competition for the newest binder design puzzle! We are challenging players to design as many binders as possible for influenza hemagglutinin (HA). Rather than ranking players based on their best scoring solution, players in the competition will be ranked by the number of solutions submitted.
