    From Mark Brader@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 2 02:22:17 2021
    These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-06-20,
    and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
    by members of the Misplaced Modifiers, but have been reformatted
    and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
    correct answers in about 3 days.

    For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation
    that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting

    that were correct in 2011 will be accepted.)

    If Pete Gayde's answers had been posted on time, he would have scored
    40 points on Round 9 and 4 points on Round 10 for a final score of 136,
    which would have placed 3rd.

    Oops, disregard that! Pete's answers *were* on time, but I miscounted
    days again, this time scoring the contest early rather than late. They
    are accepted, assuming that Pete didn't cheat by looking at the answers
    I posted.

    I also miscomputed Erland's total when adjusting his score before.

    Sorry about all that, folks.


    Scores, if there are *now* no errors:

    Kakuro. I accepted "Kakuro". 4 for Joshua.

    Just to be clear, did you accept "Kajuro" too? Because that's what I put.

    Oh, I thought it was an attempt to use Cyrillic.

    Well, it was. Some Cyrillic characters can easily be mimicked
    with ASCII characters. Even if they have their own code points in
    Unicode. But as noted, my newsreader are not capable to handle
    those.

    If you meant Mockba,

    I guess that if I had meant Mockba, I would have written Mockba. But
    in lowercase, the number of cyrillic characters that have ASCII
    counterparts are fewer.

    Er, right, that's what I meant.
