Sorry I couldn't make, but hope to see you and the gang at Lollapuzzula. One question. Since I'd like to compare my score to the posted BCPT standings, what were the time limits on the four puzzles? Thanks! UPDATE: Nevermind. I just cross referenced this post with the standings and see that they were 15, 20, 25 and 35, respectively. Joon,
