EPP11

EPP11: Puzzle Potluck I (tagline: "The only thing harder than solving a good puzzle, is making a good puzzle") is the first official puzzle potluck organized in Auburn. Like all EPPs, Puzzle Potluck I was headed up by Eric Harshbarger. Charles Pilman and Erin McMullin emerged as victors from the competition.

Gameplay
Puzzle Potluck I included 10 puzzles, nine of which were designed by each participating team, and the last of which was designed by Eric Harshbarger. Each puzzle (besides Eric's) was worth exactly 0 or 100 points, and was judged by the puzzle's creators between each round. Eric's puzzle was a variable-scoring puzzle worth anywhere between 0 and 100 points.

In addition, each team earned a score of up to 100 based on how enjoyable their puzzle was (as ranked by the other teams), and another score of up to 100 based on how many teams solved the puzzle (with a goal of a 50% solution rate).
