Results and Prizes
The Magpie once again submitted an outstanding overall solution, snaring the Dave Harding Trophy for the fourth time in six years (2019, 2021, 2023, 2024). They weren't perfect though, clearly having failed to make the basic observation that 2024 wasn't an odd year. 59 Degrees North was the Best Newcomer.
The results are below. We've also published the detailed scoring spreadsheet (download file, e.g. by right-clicking, to view it: your browser probably won't display it properly). We may add some extra awards, so check back here before the prize-giving.
