POTM: GLOSSY: The FINALS!

There were three final problems:

SNAPSHOTS is a collection of 25 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 pictures. 17 folks found valid solutions, with 6 finding solutions with no leftover space.

PRIMAL consisted of 26 different sized rectangles with prime-sized edges. The page itself had an aspect ratio over 5.0. 11 folks found solutions, with 3 finding solutions with no leftover space.

SURPRISE is a problem constructed so that it would have a perfect solution without any "stretching" of the pictures. Nobody found the perfect solution, but 15 people found valid solutions and 4 found zero-leftover solutions.
