70 horses could get to the goal among 390 horses. (17.9%)
No entries for gate numbers 5 and 15 and 21 and 48 and 63 and 64. These numbers all had a chance to finish in the top10.
81 horses, 20.8% of all entries were from outside Japan. Japanese horse owners seem to be well informed about the Nikoli Derby, so many Japanese horses won prizes.
Almost all the prizewinning horse owners were members of nikoli.com. Thank you for your running in the Nikoli Derby. We hope you keep enjoying our puzzles!

I think Nikoli.com should hold some sort of exciting world championship of online logic puzzles. It could be run in addition to the usual puzzles and cost just a small fee that would pay for the constructing of the additional puzzles needed for the championship. Please consider it, it could be great, and everybody could play from their home!

How the winners are ranked

The gate number is the key to winning the Nikoli Derby. The smallest gate number chosen by only one person is the winner. If two or more persons choose the same gate number they will lose the race. This means that you have to choose the smallest number that nobody else has chosen to win the race. What is the smallest number from 1 to 100?

Right, of course gate number 1 has the greatest advantage, but other horse owners know that too. If say, two or more horses are entered for each of gates 1 to 50, then the horse starting from gate 51 will win. Now, you have to guess the "smaller number" of those where you will be the only starting horse. The final ranking is ordered from smaller to larger numbers.
