Is there a reason why Cookie XOR wasn't in the in-person contest, and vice versa for Cookie Tower and Placing Dominoes? Thanks for the contest, really enjoyed the problems!
We generally tried to make the in-person contest easier. Cookie XOR was intended to be in the in-person contest but was removed at the last minute.
