The problems were published as they were received. A solving
tourney was held for all published problems.
While the summary stated that 35 problems were received, the
judge's report said that 41 problems were received, of which
35 were published, and the rest were either withdrawn, or were faulty. During examination, three additional problems were
found to be faulty.
A judge of the tourney was mentioned in the column, but
not by name.
