Boomilever (2nd): The instructions were clear and the event was well run. Props to JonB for running a build event under challenging circumstances!

As for the other events, I've heard extremely poor reviews from others. The sounds of music test was 40 questions, multiple choice. With 95 teams :thinking: the pigeonhole principle would like a word. As for the codebusters test, the frequency table was filled out for the timed question, and removed afterwards - yet the question wasn't removed or the event wasn't trialed.
The Codebusters timed bonus was not scored given the issue with the frequency table. Given that all teams had access to the same information, there was no need to remove the question or trial the event. If any team felt differently, they were more than welcome to raise this issue through arbitration; none did.
