9th World Puzzle Championship

Individual Results

After 6 rounds of competition, the top 10 individuals competed in a final playoff round. 10th place received 30 minutes to solve the 8 problems. 1st through 9th place received proportionately more time, based on the points earned during the previous rounds. Aside from the time handicap, the scores from the previous rounds were ignored in determining the rank of the top 10 individual places.

Despite an intimidating 11 minute head start on the rest of the field, Wei-Hwa Huang made one miscalculation that he did not correct until just 2 minutes remaining in the round. On the other hand, Ulrich Voigt calmly ignored his 15 minute disadvantage, and solved each problem correctly, finishing his last problem with just over 4 minutes remaining in the round. The 2 minutes, 11 second difference made him the first new champion in 4 years.
