Question about submitting puzzles
I wonder if someone can tell me a bit about how the system of submitting a problem works. I saw an interesting little bit of algebra recently and thought it might be of interest to the group. Only thing is this - I don't have a solution, and if there is a solution, it's more of a question of philosophy than math, yet the problem is mostly in the form of equations.
Anyways, which category should I post the problem to, and does it matter that it's just a good starter for debate rather than a solveable "puzzle"?
Also, I don't want to post something that's been posted before - will someone check this when I submit?
Peace,
Rawlyn. |

Re: Question about submitting puzzles
Rawlyn,
We can always change the category in the queue (and we sometimes do, if necessary), so don't give it too much thought.
As for posting something that's been posted before... well... the combined memory of the Journeymen+ is pretty effective at weeding these out, but nevertheless, you could save yourself a LOT of unnecessary waiting, and save us some time if you go through Flooble's archives. (Not to mention, you'll probably come across some pretty decent problems.)
As for the way the system works... I would suggest you read through the forums starting right here, then read this... and then you can graduate to this.
And hopefully, you'll soon be making your own contributions.

Re: Question about submitting puzzles
If you mailed your problem to someone, maybe they could tell you if it is already on the site or not. Otherwise it will take a while in the queue, but still be worth it. |
