More puzzles?[ 21 votes ]
1.	Yes, continue weekly puzzles	11 / 52%
2.	Yes, but take a break (a month?)	9 / 43%
3.	No, had enough of the puzzles.	1 / 5%

Shall we continue weekly puzzles, take a break, or quit?

While I rarely get the time(or intuitive leaps) to do the puzzles in the 24hr limit I do enjoy tinkering at them Smile

Perhaps make it a 48 hour period. I have trouble commiting the time in a 24 hour stretch to do them.

Ron, any chance of slowly reintroducing the puzzles ?

This cold turkey is starting to really hit.

Yes, I'll try to do it again next Monday (or Sunday).
Actually, Saturday night might be better. We'll see. Embarassed

I'm clue-less.
What are these puzzles you are talking about?

Sure, this sounds fun.
Must take a bit of time finding interesting puzzles, but I'm sure Ron doesn't have anything else to do does he?

Just kidding, thanks for the time you do spend with this amusement.

Heh. I feel like giving this a try. (Although I looked at the last puzzles and they gave me a headache just thinking about thinking about them)

I personally prefer puzzles that don't involve math Razz

and I'm particularly fond of ones that require you to think around corners. If I ever get a chance, I'll use a puzzle I got that's supposedly a Mensa test. I didn't solve the whole thing, but I stayed up all night until I had a high enough score to be considered a genius by Mensa standards.
I didn't consider it cheating that I spent hours on it, but I felt it would be like cheating if I went to bed and woke up and came back to it the next day.
