Maybe you looked at the last addresses - output number 160 to 255 are empty because the security of a Bitcoin P2PKH address is 160 bits, so the puzzle creator decided it was useless to have a puzzle with private keys with more than 160 bits, and spread the value from them out over the lower addresses.
