This group has a shortage of "Easy" quizzes. Most of the "Expert" quizzes are difficult because they require expertise in the problem domain. If we allowed (even encouraged) early posting of "Spoiler" design information, far more of us could participate by producing perl implementations. Yes, there are a lot of details to work out if there is interest in this approach.

I've been absent for many months now .. I posted my Tetris puzzle and had to go away for a while (family dramas -- not jail!) so sorry for not writing it up .. hopefully I get around to it sometime soon.

My thoughts on the 'easy' vs 'hard' puzzles is that they're more about mathematics than about perl. I imagine that we should think more about difficult and easy perl tasks than math tasks.

An perl task would be more like: Sort a list of names in the same way the phonebook does. Rather than: Implement Eulers second theory of circle geometry in perl.

Cheers!
Rick
