This contest was between three problems that looked like their titles. Two of them tied for first with three votes each. They were "Morning Star", by the late Ed Atkinson, and "Arrowhead", by Bill Salot. Lloyd Gordon (Canada) voted for "Morning Star", and George Hay voted for "Arrowhead", his 5th consecutive correct pick, lifting him to 2nd place on the International Voters' Ladder below.
"Leaning T", by the late Roy Little, trailed. Its 1 vote was cast by Liam Stephens (Ireland), who preferred its shorter solution.
Contest 68 had 153 visitors, 7 of whom voted.
The International Voters’ Ladder now stands as follows:
1. Don Myles, 8 wins in 12 tries (67%)
2. George Hay, 21 wins in 36 tries (58%)
3. Liam Stephens (Ireland), 19 wins in 34 tries (55.9%)
4. Kathy Wirthwein, 15 wins in 27 tries (55.6%)
5. Gene Ellison, 11 wins in 23 tries (48%)
6. Wilma Wolverton, 6 wins in 13 tries (46.2%)
7, Lloyd Gordon (Canada), 14 wins in 31 tries (45.2%)
8. Slava Gorin (Russia), 11 wins in 26 tries (42%)
9. Gary Ellison, 5 wins in 14 tries (36%)
Eighteen (18) others have either picked fewer than 36% winners or voted in fewer than 9 contests.
This concludes contests with entries that initially display images on the checkerboard. It is hard to say whether these problems are better than those in Contest 67. They are by the same composers, but demonstrate different tricks and afterplay.
You are invited to view them all animated. The most popular entry will be decided by the votes of website visitors like you. Your vote will also let you see immediately how others are voting. If you choose to e-mail Bill Salot at wjsalot@comcast.net, disclosing how you voted, you will be put on the International Voters’ Ladder to determine who the best winner-picker is. Voters on the upper rungs of the ladder are published with the results of each contest.
