How should this work?

Dizzy · 08-13-2007, 05:28 PM

I plan on scanning a bunch of pages out of one of my books with various riddles and problems. I'm planning on doing a bunch and posting each in it's respective thread. What do you want me to do with the answers?

PM's could be a problem, at least at first, because of the number I will receive.

I could post the answer and highlight it the same color, but you know you'll be tempted to give in after a few minutes of thwarted attempts.

I could post the answer a week later, but then it's kinda dead in the water afterwards.

Any suggestions?

I like the idea of sending the thread starter a pm. then get permission to post their answer later.

All wrong answers would be ok to post whenever.

As long as there're some posts with wrong answers... more fun that way.

You could upload a text file(with the answers/solutions) to a site, and put the link up, maybe after a week still, to make sure no one succumbs temptation.

David · 08-20-2007, 04:37 PM

that sounds like a pretty good idea.

CameleonMK · 08-23-2007, 12:59 PM

I'd say post answers later, but that sounds good too.

do like an expiry date on the competition and after that date post the answers

just to let you know, you can now use spoiler tags for the answer

[ spoiler ]
spoiler - highlight to read: the answer is pi

Dizzy · 11-26-2007, 04:42 PM

Sexified Loveandhatejw · 11-26-2007, 11:26 PM

Dizzy · 11-27-2007, 01:58 PM

If this ever happens. It didn't seem like there was much interest to begin with, but whenever I've got free time, I'll try to squeeze a few in

Nurta · 11-27-2007, 04:10 PM

That was back when this was a private forum. There is a bigger audience now

Yeah diz that sounds like a good idea with the spoiler tags but temptation is a huge factor.
