I am not a novice puzzle solver and I thought that this puzzle was a 3 in difficulty.

Oh my gosh, this is so cute, and was great fun to solve.

This is NOT a 1 in difficulty.

I found this puzzle because it is one of three puzzles that are affected by the ancient "sixteen million people rated this puzzle easy" bug.

I think I can go into the database and fix this: There is an old ratings system and a new one, and the bug is a giant inflation of the old-style rating. So I could blank out the old-style ratings and leave the puzzle with only its new-style rating, and that should be pretty close to its true rating. Should I?

I say yes! I'd hate for a novice solver to be discouraged by what they thought would be an easy puzzle.

Difficulty ratings did not work the way I thought they did, but people's ratings are stored in the database, and I was able to recompute the difficulty score for this puzzle and fix it.
