Sorry, I sent this as a "problem" to levik using "petition director" ;cause I didn't think about using forums. Here is the basic idea of how I petitioned Levik:

This is more of a suggestion than a problem.

One of my favorite types of riddles are those that require a group of people (such as this community) who ask a series of yes or no questions, to determine the answer. Here is a very basic example:

A man dies. What happened?

Answer, he was skydiving and his parachute didn't open.

The "riddle-solvers" would ask the "riddle-teller" yes-or-no questions to solve it. Note: Most of these riddles are more descriptive (like: a bell rang, a man died, a bell rang).

You could have a category for that (I'm not really sure what to call it), and perhaps require that the author log in once per day to answer the questions until the riddle is solved. This would be more of a group effort and anyone could contribute, unlike other categories where less riddle-inclined people just browse the site and don't really contribute.

A quick note... if you do implement it, then you should make it so that, after the riddle is approved by scholars/journeymen, the author has to activate it himself. That way it doesn't get posted when he is out of town for a while or something.

Anyways, just a thought. I have several of those types of riddles and they are usually very fun to solve.

Sorry, I do have other things in mind, I have briefly scanned this, and I apologise if I haven't taken this all in.

This looks a little like a game of "Charades", would this be close to your idea?
It would certainly be a possible addition to the site, but ...
I cannot perceive how that would fit with Levik's philosophy of this site
The 'ever-present' author seems to present a problem (I'd hate to suggest that
a 'committee' be given the task should the author default)
I am thinking that many other regulars here would not accept this; as for me,
in all honesty, unless you can prove some value in this, my outlook is
negative.
If other members can see merit, and means of providing responses (a la author),
then I have no problem. It could just be another Forum or addon
Chatterbox. :-)

Am I right in thinking that you are thinking about "lateral thinking" problems? These are good fun but have not featured in these pages. I think they are fairly within the ambit and would be well answered by this community.

Okay, found it: http://www.lateralpuzzles.com/
One fun side is mentionned by Stephen already: solving can be a group effort, or even a team effort. That's something I am missing here, that was much more present at the mentioned site.

A bit of Perplexus lore for you.

I think several years ago, at least one lateral thinking puzzle was posted on this site. I believe this is the one. Based on the response to this puzzle, Levik decided that LT puzzles would not work properly with Perplexus' structure, precisely because they require many yes/no questions.

Anyway, it's now an unwritten rule among voters that we're not to push lateral thinking puzzles, though there's a little grey area here. This is pretty much the only category that is "banned" on perplexus, except maybe string puzzles (inside joke).

Go for it Stephen, there are a number of new scholars and JM, maybe now it is possible to get three TU's on a LT puzzle.

I don't think we should let history repeat itself. No reason to make the same mistake twice, right?

Hugo is right though, there are a lot of journeymen, so a minority can comprise of 3 TUs and thus get posted anyway.

For everyone's information, Levik got back to me and said that Lateral Thinking puzzles kinda go against the idea of the site. So I'll keep all mine over at www.lateralpuzzles.com.
