The number of upper-end scores here is stunning, making 350 points not enough to qualify (!). Does anyone know if Jonathan still gets to come along as an alternate?

The crunch of scores at the top end is rather amazing. As I think you commented elsewhere, there is just too much talent now at the top end for any selection of 4 to really feel fair.

Another interesting note, the new way of grading the "spot the differences" question was essential to the final placements. Wei-Hwa (9) and Zack (8) did not finish that question, but it seems Jonathan did, and I certainly did. I'd say Wei-Hwa did 21.9 out of the 23 puzzles, to be fair in the write-up, but under the old all-or-none scoring for this puzzle, the results would be different.
