Mark Longridge reports:

I was the sole prize-winning Canadian in the US contests (the 2nd one).
Unfortunately, that was not really allowed by the rules so the feat
was never recorded in the Ideal newsletters,

Oh. Did Ideal's rules constrain the entrants to Hungarians only?

Should puzzlers located outside the US boycott Ideal products?
Unfortunately I didn't know about this in time to do so.
