They've also done a lot of work digitizing the test itself, near-instant scoring, and randomizing question orders.

About that...

DC reported the same when they got stuck on problem 3 - did they actually announce that?  Doing it behind people's back seems stupid and unfair.

The boards I have read and the kids I have talked to were all aware that things were randomized. Kids could skip questions and return to them. One technique that is reinforced in my kids math competition program is to skip the problems you are struggling with and return to them when you have answered all the ones that you are comfortable with.

The kids I've talked to personally all were surprised.

There's a traditional way to approach the AMC contests, which, for instance, gives rise to the [url=https://artofproblemsolving.com/school/course/maa-amc12-final-five]course title: Final Fives[/url].  For them to just throw this out the window without prior announcement and disclosure is stupid.[/quote]
