Solutions to any or all problems may be submitted at any time up to the close of the contest on December 31st. Any solu- tion received by December 31st will count in the contest; but contestants are urged to send in their solutions week by week as the problems appear in Judge. The prize winners will be the contest- ants in order whose solutions most nearly correspond to solutions by Mr. Lenz which have n written and sealed. Not only correct play, correct bidding, correct read- ing and correct reconstruction, but the directness with which solutions are ar- rived at and the clarity with which they are stated will be considered in awarding prizes. Contestants in order of most nearly cor- rect solutions will be awarded the prizes in order of value. If two or more contestants tie they will receive like prizes. Each problem will have a scoring value in points, making it possible for a con- testant to win any prize, no matter when 1 contestant starts and even if solutions’ to all problems are not submitted; but those who submit solutions to all problems are most likely to secure the winni scores. Mr. Lenz will be the impartial judge of all awards, Prizes will be delivered to winners only. In a January issue of Judge we will be- gin publication of solutions to the prob- lems, and in succeeding issues will publish solutions of all problems. In the earliest possible issues of Judge thereafter we will publish the names of all prize winners; and all prizes will then be awarded imme- diately.
