If a walkthrough claims to be original, I think to avoid any negative thoughts, you could upload a password-protected RAR archive of the save file. :)

I don't understand how you can participate in a tournament without trusting the organizer? :smile32: Surely, if the organizer takes first place in the tournament, receiving the save file from the player who came in second just a few minutes before the end of the tournament, everyone will think that the organizer not only understood the logic of the walkthrough but also managed to improve it in those few minutes? :confused:

I also sent the save file, but I would like confirmation: is it accepted or not?
The save file has been accepted, thank you for participating :)
I won't create a table because it's unnecessary. I'll post a list of available save files on the penultimate day :)

I've also thought a lot about this. In reality, you can always find something to criticize if you want to. I'm just organizing a tournament for the second time... The first time, I posted my save file along with the starting one, and now I didn't plan to participate, but I had to fight for a quorum :)

Whether to play or not, whether to trust or not, whether to try to prove that you're not a fool or not – that's a matter of personal preference.
But it's much easier to avoid "sharp corners" than to lick your "wounds" later.
Besides, there are games where "espionage" is built into the gameplay itself.
And, for example, a move like "recruit the host" or infiltrate someone into that position only adds excitement to the game.
And after such games, I personally don't trust myself, let alone the host :))).
Moreover, I didn't express any distrust, but simply suggested a course of action that excludes any situations in which the host's reputation might be damaged, and the players' mood might be spoiled. And the host wisely agreed with this option.

Unfortunately, I can’t seem to create a “stone flower”; there’s no excitement or enthusiasm, and I lack the patience. Although the map is simple (which is what attracted me), I simply don’t have enough free time to realize the idea.
P.S. After the tournament, I’ll post my vision of how to achieve the “Punch-2” result.

Who won? And as always, what is the theoretical minimum?

I don't know who won, I completed it in 7 days (which is obvious), but I can't see how it could be done in 6.

14 days! Who can do more?
And regarding the 7 days, can you be more specific?

Man, you guys are something else... If you had told me earlier that the results would be this way, I wouldn't have even bothered...

Added 1 minute later
And will it be possible to see later somewhere how it's completed in seven days...? Just for educational purposes...
