Puzzles
Since you are working on the puzzles section of the site, will you be accepting any puzzles submitted by anybody on the board?

Re: Puzzles
But before I start....can I ask something first? Do you accept puzzles like the sort of when you're asked a question and you need to find a way around it - like the man with the chicken, corn and fox?

Re: Puzzles
Yep, because figuring out those sort of puzzles needs logical thinking.
So long as there is a solution available somewhere (just a matter of honor that every puzzle has to be solvable!)

Re: Puzzles
Can you do private messages on this board? I mean, if I'm sending in a puzlle, I don't want anyone else to see it since it wouldn't be fair if someone else sees it and then it will be spoiled.

Re: Puzzles
Post them into the "Members Only" section, and I can then take a copy of the solution and then delete it off the forum.
Hey, Rora, you should use an Avatar - find a small image that you want to appear next to your name (up to 60x60 pixel) and upload it from your Profile under Personality.

Re: Puzzles
Yes, I am aware of that. I have loads of pictures but I can't find one small enough.

Re: Puzzles
Oh, and I didn't leave this board for weeks just because I lost interest. I was in London.

Re: Puzzles
Not really. I mean, everyone does the same thing there, don't they? See the palace, Downing street, blah blah blah. Though I have to say that the best bit was trafalgar square.

Re: Puzzles
Surely! That one I gave you before - I must say it was the best one, so try not to expect something as good as that.

Re: Puzzles
Pft. You may have a butterfly. But, my Avatar's a Ferret. Fearness!
Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

Re: Puzzles
I'm doing good! Been on holiday to Scunthorpe, wasn't interesting. Good cheese, but nothing too bad. How's life with you then?

So Scunthorpe DOES exist, then ... I though it was just a fantasy land.

Re: Puzzles
Yes! It does! It's not really that great though. It's got a nice Fish and Chips shop. Hm.. Curry Sauce.

Re: Puzzles
You may have a ferret, Zach. However, the elegant, gallant butterfly will always outshine you.
