I am in a bit of a rush at the time of the initial post - expect this post to updated, probably with a PDF attachment for your printing convenience. Please note that I haven't asked the authors whether they are happy to provide links to online solving tools, so please take this into consideration before transposing the puzzles and sharing.
UPDATE: difficulty ratings have been added to the post below, and I have also put together a PDF file. Please note the difficulty ratings are based on my initial solves - a sample of 1 is not usually great for the purposes of testing so do take these with a pinch of a salt. It is fair to say that the two entries rated at 10 / 10 are significantly more difficult than the rest of the set however!
PDF of entries
Expect a further post in the next couple of days with the voting form and corresponding deadline (which will be in at least a week's time), but in the meantime I thought all my dearest readers would be very keen to get solving as well.
Entries have been anonymised using four random digits as a reference. I will further update this page with a rough indication of difficult a bit later; for now I will add that, based on the authors' self-assessments, the difficult levels within the collection range from easy through to very difficult.
The last thing to say is that I have run these puzzles through a computer checker to verify they solve uniquely only *after* I have redrawn into a standard format, so this should mean that there are no transposition errors below. If not, please let me know in the comments.
