If the puzzle you solved before you solved the puzzle you solved after you solved the puzzle you solved before you solved this one, was harder than the puzzle you solved after you solved the puzzle you solved before you solved this one, was the puzzle you solved before you solved this one harder than this one?

(In reply to " YES "........it was harder :) :) by Ravi Raja)

... and the reason is that each "before" counts as a -1 and each "after" as a +1, so "before...after...before" counts as a "before", while a "before ... after" adds to zero and is just this one.
