I still have total mix feelings about these puzzles. There is a low percentage of "Satisfying" puzzles and I don't know how to put my finger on it as to why. Work to Fun ratio is still too high. I think it's similar to learning Integration in Calculus. You learn a bunch of things you know "work".....and then you get a new formula to try to find the Integral for, and you explore your set of tools until you find the right one.

Lastly, too many are hand-crafted "trickiness" that is usually arbitrary....and meant to decieve. And that philosophy is why I do Randomly Generated Puzzles....where there is no "creator" or trickiness. It's just a mindset that almost always turns me off.

I did the entire "quest" (which I think had the 2 PHDs in them. Then I "wanted" to be done, but started doing the puzzle of the day....and then the "suggested" ones that started at Kindegarten and move to Elementary and now I'm in Junior High. I do 5 at a whack....and most puzzles in this group I find "annoying" more than "interesting".
