    My USPC score (maybe)
    My target goal was 200.

    I scored (presuming no typos)... 201.

    Most brilliant puzzle: Tetris Crisscross. Elegant, lovely logic.

    Most frustrating puzzle: Closing the Loop. I must be misunderstanding the directions -- I get an impossibility. This really should've been a puzzle I solved, yet I wasted time simply proving to myself it couldn't be done.

    Best performance: Fences Variation. I might have even beat Thomas's time on this one. I finished in something like 1:30 flat.

    Biggest disappointment: Atomic Fusion. I *should* have got this one. Really I should have. The bit that kept sticking me was one of the 6-pointed stars in the lower left corner of the puzzle (the SE one of the NW-SE pair). The square just to the left seems to need to head NE and close off the ability to connect those two stars, and I couldn't find anywhere else on the grid to generate symmetry. *sigh*

    No surprise on who the puzzle designers are.

    Atomic Fusion answer is "holy cow". I'd really like to see more examples of this one.
