Part 32: Closed Tournament - Round 1 Results & Round 2

Closed Tournament - Round 2

There are two broad categories of SpaceChem puzzles. The first are those that require clever thinking, exploitation of hidden game mechanics, or a very specific strategy to even solve. For me, those are my favorite. I love figuring out the tricks that trivialize a puzzle or give me that extra edge.

For the winner's bracket, this round is about the second category - those puzzles that challenge the player's grasp of mathematics and spatial awareness, sometimes requiring them to fill out a page of notes before they even lay down their first reactor.
