and to compute the exact score,
we need the puzzle-number;
but one of them rejected ( 3.2 already posted ),
and i don't know if it does or doesn't increment the puzzle-number.
( 10.0/10.0/9.9 is either puzzle 31 or already puzzle 32. )

so i would guess dobrichev is leading the score;
yet it could be close enough that
bonus_last may decide the winner

not minimal

[dobrichev]

It is well known that JPF and g.r.emlin are old friends. I am sure g.r.emlin wouldn't notice this little inconsistency with rules.

@Pat, thank you for the provided statistics, and especially for catching the attempt to cheat the referee.

@JPF, hope this wasn't produced by my solver

Today somehow this puzzle with no solutions appeared in my list, and I don't know how it happened.
1..2....3.4..3..5...6...2..2....1.7..8..7.5.....4.......3.8.....5.7...649......2.
By chance the puzzles with no solution also can't be rated and this saved me.

once upon a time, i ran your software without specifying --minimals
and it did produce puzzles with 0 answers

I am not surprised. You hit an untested/broken branch of the code.
You could ask me to fix it.
My case is that I am using a piece of code especially designed for the patterns game - with integrated Champagne's rating engine and several very useful commands added.
I didn't change the code from years, it generated billions of correct puzzles .... till today.
