Congratulations to Ivan Koswara from Indonesia!
He wins the Nikoli Puzzle the Giants 2016 issue!

Warm applause to Michael, Min-Young, Andrew and Sumet for coming so close. Interestingly, the correct answers were all A’s. Ivan’s submission of AAAAAAAB won him the event outright. We had two submissions from Tom and Farhan who went with BBBBBBBB, right concept but wrong letter!

Ivan has been a long time veteran of this blog, submitting entries since Nikoli Hurdles 2 without missing a single event. I’m happy he is finally rewarded. As for everyone else, thank you all for participating and I hope to see you again next time.
