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. If you want a reminder to your inbox – hit the Subscribe button on the right and guarantee you’ll never miss an event.
Until next time…
Happy Halloween!
Somewhere Over the Rainbow 
Ah, I only just noticed the colours are gone from the rainbow for halloween! 😀
Nice observation but wrong reason.
SOTR went monochrome from 13th October to mourn the passing of our King. (All Thai websites and TV stations went black and white – the population are also encouraged to wear black during this time of grief).
I’ll restore the colours again after one month.
