This one wasn't "easy" - I was 10th (discounting Arnott's "solve"
56 minutes into the puzzle.
I dread seeing what he considers difficult on Sunday then!
Well, I actually never said these were supposed to be easy. I said that my intention was to make them more fun than difficult, which is not the same thing as easy.
Of course, fun is relative.
Sunday's puzzle is difficult not because it's a stumper. I'm pretty sure most of you will figure out what you need to do and what some of the answers are (though that will still take an "aha"... or some salt). The difficult part is that you will then probably need to get most, if not all, of them in order to get to the next step. In other words, I'm not sure if solving half of the puzzle will be good enough to fast forward to the end.
But maybe it is, I don't know. The people who playtested it for me had no problems... but they didn't get back to me until the day after I sent it to them, so they were clearly puzzling under a much looser schedule than many Tangans

FWIW, it's my only puzzle worth 4 points.
