 Bonus puzzle exhausted
Hi, Patrick. I think I have exhausted once more the pool of puzzles. This time the problem is with the bonus puzzle. I have received the message: "You are -20 points away of your next bonus puzzle". Could you, please, verify?

I have reserved the solution of the 6x6 easy in order to use the new pool when it is ready.

Yes, I already had some new puzzles lined up, but wanted to wait until the morning before adding them (not a good idea in general to make changes at the end of the day ![Glare [glare]](./images/smilies/msp_glare.gif) ) And do you have any suggestions for a new bonus puzzle type?

 Re: Bonus puzzle exhausted
The new automatic warning message _did_ work: ("solved: no more bonus puzzle available for [clm]" etc.), but it got auto-filed into a folder I don't normally check ![Mellow [mellow]](./images/smilies/msp_mellow.gif)
