Several Members have expressed a desire to see all the puzzles current and past listed in
a separate record thread devoted solely to that purpose. If there is no objection we intend to create one in a day's or two time.
The "running log" had better stay in the competition thread as it is long and ugly.
The Grand Table of Members' Points on the other hand could appear in the first message of the new record thread, and be edited regularly so to reflect the current position.
Since particularly in the "week ends" there has been so much interest in these puzzles it is our intention now to undertake a more thorough and elaborate computerization; this besides a general acceleration should facilitate the generation of
much more interesting statistics, such as "the setter champions," "the solver champions," "the fastest solvers," "the most popular composers," "the most popular genres," and who knows what else - we have often wanted for example to attach a positive bias to the less frequently encountered
nationalities among composers and a negative to the more. Members should expect though one or two weeks to pass before the above-mentioned computerization begins to bear fruit.
