I pride myself on leading the pack for puzzles solved*

Joking aside, it’s awesome to see this, and thanks for posting! I’ve
totally dropped the ball on adding puzzles for Andrey’s colorings, but it
is clear I need to refocus and finish doing that. I never thought we’d see
this many of the puzzles solved, and imagine the remaining 174 must be
those that are especially difficult (deepcut with many pieces).

Cheers,
Roice
