Re: Here are the two images if anyone needs direct
Posted By: thebruce0 <g.may@thebruce.net>Date: 10/29/12 8:21 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Here are the two images if anyone needs direct (General Vagueness)


: I think with things like this it really is largely about
: luck, which is to say, the luck of how many people get interested, which
: people they are, and how much free time they have.

Exactly this. And also why a community that respects each other is so great :) each person can still have their fun, while anyone who really wants to claim "first" doesn't try to explicitly ruin it for everyone else :)
I tend to see these once-off puzzles as learning opportunities. Often this kind of stuff happens when I'm not available - at work, in transit, asleep... so catching up can be really fun, whether I read someone else's solution or try it out myself before reading up on it, or helping someone along the way, or just announcing someone's progress (especially if it is time sensitive, like completing it unlocks something for everyone).
And also another reason I less prefer puzzles where there is an exclusive reward for the 'winner(s)', because it may encourage people to work against each other, hide stuff from each other, and just generally be dicks about having fun :P
