Trimmed some less important topics from "More questions" section, to avoid cluttering of priority issues.
::: Good idea. I've started doing so.
:::: Don't forget to add links to pages like that from the front page so people can find them... Also, what about adding the needs_hint, needs_answer, etc templates? Is that something people can usefully do? Since the templates exist, it seems a shame not to use them consistently.[[User:Zerrakhi|Zerrakhi]] 09:33, 17 October 2010 (EDT)
:::: I'll give you a link from my blog sometime this week. (Not that it will do any good: very few people read itThis section later trimmed of less important topics to enhance focus on what matters.) As See history for self promotion, nobody will mind if you mention it in a postscript next time you leave a comment on Richard Wiseman's blog; he's never discouraged people from using it as a giant conversation forum and it will reach a wider audience than I ever coulddetails. :::: Incidentally, I knew the lightbulb puzzle because it's been featured on Wiseman's blog in the past. Also, some time ago I nominated a puzzle that he has confirmed he will use in some future installment. If you want a spoiler, it's the... {{answer | Knights and Pages puzzle, a version of which can be found at http://www.outofworkpoet.com/three-knights-and-three-pages . In the book I got it from, it comes in three parts: (1) as in the link, (2) proving there is no solution with four pairs of characters. (3) solving with four pairs of characters plus an island.}} :::: I'll have plenty to say about that when it gets to the top of the queue, but not before.

::Another thing that seems strange is the requirement to log in before viewing a solution. I would question the sense of that, because the audience of people interested in contributing to the wiki is distinct from the audience of people interested in using it as a resource, and members of the latter probably won't bother to create accounts (especially when most puzzles are searchable). But perhaps I misunderstand how you envision the site being used. [[User:Zerrakhi|Zerrakhi]] 06:12, 13 October 2010 (EDT)
