I think I get more PV from this than you think I do.
For reference:
10) The answer submission period for a list of puzzles ends one week
after it begins. As soon as possible after the end of a list's
answer submission period, for each puzzle published by the
contestmaster and having at least one eligible answer during
that period, the contestmaster SHALL award points in this order,
up to a maximum of P points per puzzle (where P is the maximum
number of points that a contest CAN award per week per
contestant). For the purpose of this clause, contestanthood is
measured at the end of the period.
a) 4 points to its author.
b) 8 points to the submitter of that puzzle's first eligible
answer.
c) 4 points each to the submitters of all other eligible answers
for that puzzle, in order of submission.
d) As many points as possible to its author.
Note specifically the following:
- P is the maximum number of points that a contest CAN award per
week per contestant
- for each puzzle ... the contestmaster SHALL award points ... up to
a maximum of P point per puzzle
"As many points as possible" in d) is most naturally interpreted
as "as many as remain before the maximum of P is reached", and this
maximum is for each puzzle, not for each week.
