Our german puzzleforum is currrently still down but most of the active users joined in a "waiting for the new forum"-thread on an old website (which was closed when we started the cooperation with puzzleonline.de last autumn and got the forum some of you might have seen). So even if our forum is down for a while (mabye we'll have luck and it works soon again), I was able to write about the competetion and translate the rules to the german forum members. And until now, at least one of them is going to take part so far, I think in the individual category but not sure yet (well as you see it's not me, I'll still think about it). I suggested we could do it on our meeting in Berlin, so well, when the forum is online again it will be easier to really talk about it with the others, maybe there will be a team "Germany" or even more then as well!
