Note that the competition comprises 3 tracks and over 40 divisions
(logics). To keep this manageable, we shouldn't overcomplicate its
design.

At this point, I am inclined to believe that unit tests (i) can serve
an important purpose in identifying incorrect solver implementations,
and (ii) do not necessarily cause "real" examples to be "lost": if
solving unit tests is easy, state-of-the-art solvers will only differ
in how many of the real examples they can solve, so the (relative)
ranking will depend on those.

Best,
Tjark
