I live above a star, and yet I never burn,
I have eleven neighbors, and yet none of them turn,
I am visited in sequence, first, last or in between,
PRS (& sometimes Q)are my initials, now tell me what I mean.

Lewis, I think that you'll find a lot of the problems on this site, or on any site, can be found elsewhere on the Internet, especially the less difficult ones.

What sets this site apart, in my opinion, is the fact that the general caliber of the problems is much higher. The voting system is set up not to maximize the number of problems, as many sites do, but to make sure that the problems on the site are thought out and interesting.

As a side note, I'm willing to bet that I could find links to ¾ of the problems on the site, being displayed somewhere else on the web. However, I would also wager (as I have been looking for a long time) that few collections of puzzles have as many 'good' problems as the one right here.
