Solvers are Trip Payne, Tyler Hinman, (reigning champion), and Francis Heaney. "A" Division solvers are the elite of the elite and have the hardest clues, although the puzzle that they solve is the same one that the "C" and "B" divisions solve. Be sure to view both segments to enjoy all of the excitement.
