Blank diagrams from the 6th WCCT

Here we have 16 of 17 blank digrams from the book. Many of them were awarded in the WCCT, so the original souce is the same. Some other have been published in between. One of them is now as original for the book (source CYCLONE 2000). And the last (or first) one has not been published yet. It is No. 358 in Cyclone.
