Title adjustments in 2024/ferguson[12]
This did involve updates to news.{md,html} and years.html. The prize in
diabolical logistics now reflects the title of the game and the prize in
yil-tas has a capitalisation fix (that was missed yesterday).
Also reworded some of the text of 2024/ferguson1/index.html.
