RC1: I didn't want to count the first GGY, but some argued that it wasn't a NTR since the yellow was used. So 4 or 5 acceptable.
RC5: A couple of debateable through whites, so 7, 8 or 9 were okay.

Pass through the following coded spot heights. The digits of each spot height are in the correct order from left to right, but not consecutive.

Not intended to be as difficult as it was. The spot height order was 92 78 165 118 112 134 215 178 184 235. Tricky avoiding 194; I allowed the white or orange route. Only 3 attempted with 2 correct.

Pass through spot heights summing to 100.

The two spot heights were 46(5046) and 54(5246). One competitor produced an amazing solution that visited spot heights whose digits totalled 100! Two attempted - none right.

Each junction is coded as an (unusual) colour depending upon the sequence of colour of the roads at the junction. Some are easy Yellow = YYY, Red = RRR; the others aren't.

A lot trickier, but still most got it right. The key was: 
YRR = Pink, RRW = Mauve, YYY = Yellow, YYYY = Gold, YYW = Silver, WWW = White, YWY = Scarlet, YGGG = Turquoise, GGGY = Brown, WBB = Primrose, BBB = Blue, BRR = Magenta, RBR = Cyan, RRR = Red, WYY = Purple, YYWY = Lime, GGY = Fawn, WYYY = Lemon, RWR = Khaki, RRY = Bronze

Peter Robertson has correctly pointed out that there is a much shorter route to the one originally published. It's based upon passing under two footbridges on the A20 instead of ETLs in Oaken Wood. "Crow" deliberated long and hard over this since it changed the results significantly, but could find no flaw in the argument. (see the new downloadable map)
From the start you can cross the M20 on the original yellow or the white bridge (footbridge?). No matter, since then you use the whites to join the A20 on GL72 before picking up the new shortest route. The WWW count is variable whether you consider white/blue or white/footbridge are valid.

492(5) The desired route was 69, 87, 79, 143, 114. Shorter was 69, 79, 87, 114, 143 though this clashed with Routecard 10 part 2, but had to be allowed. 35, 85, 84, 121, 167 was too long.
