#1: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on May 22, 2009

I need a very good solver here!!

let me explain. Fisrt of I must admit that my schedule don't allow me to do all the WCP puzzle in time for sunday night. I usually end up finishing them during the following week and that don't help me in getting the new one done for the next sunday.

So some of the puzzle are judge by me on look only ( thank Jan for the peek button) But my other two judge do them all and we nearly always agree so I must have a great eye for puzzle.

The problem is that when great puzzle are submit late in the week and the first people to try them mark them as a ? we can't admit that puzzle into competition. Plus many people have to mark a puzzle as not needing guessing for the ? to disapear.

So my point is this I need someone with enought skill as a puzzler and time in his hand to be able to "officially" told us 3 judges if a puzzle require guess or not. I insist on a great solver since what might be needing guess for me ( a normal solver) might be no guessing require for the very talented solver here

So if someone can volonteer to just like send me a mail once a week with confirmation of availability for the puzzle enter in the WCP it would be very appreciated.

thank you all

I do make some extra effort to check WCP puzzles, but I often don't get to them in time. I'm working on improvements to the checker that will get a few more puzzles automatically marked as logically solvable. Eventually I also want to delegate a few other people to help rule on the solvability of puzzles. But none of this is going to solve Sylvain's problem any time soon. I hope people do volunteer.

As far as the issue with late puzzles being marked ? goes, as nice as it is getting the results quickly, I think it would perfectly reasonably to wait until mid-week to declare a winner.

If I find a WCpuzzle that requires guessing I'll state so in the comments and won't vote for it.

i agree with Jota on this matter
