All puzzles in this round were written by Serkan Yürekli.

This puzzle features elements of Matchmaker and Builder. From the IB:

"At the beginning of the round you will receive all pieces mixed together. You will also receive an empty grid for each one of the puzzle types (with the puzzle name attached to it). Empty grids will be in the shape of puzzles you have to reconstruct. For yours (and ours) convenience, each piece will contain its ID in the same format as the provided example. Those IDs are mainly for informational purpose only, but they also uniquely identify the orientation of each piece. All pieces use exactly the same visual representation, no matter which puzzle type they belong to (numbers without backgrounds and thin grid lines), and there’s nothing that identifies the outer grid. All clues are in the form of a single-digit number in 0-9 range."
