Hello oldmathtchr, I'm observing the same thing. This suggests a koan: what is the value of solving a nonexistent puzzle? Amazingly, the web site says 2 people have done that already and the answer to the koan is "8 points"! |

Same here. No-op not loading, seems to be non-existent. All others okay. |

Yes, not existent, it says "solved 2 times so far" but not showing "who" is the last solver. It looks like if the pool of 6x6 no-ops is exhausted. Sunday is not a good day for correcting problems ... , perhaps the solution is to provide 2 no-ops next Sunday? |

It was in fact missing. It's strange though, after generating and loading puzzles for the next month (which I do in the last week of the preceding month) I run a checking script that checks if all puzzles are present. All was ok then. I ran it again just now, and 4 no-op puzzles were missing (?!) (today's, and the ones for the following three Sundays) Today's puzzle should be there now. Patrick edit: the "solved 2 times so far" comes from the fact that a "puzzle id" number is set to zero if there is no puzzle. There are appear to be 2 records in the database for puzzles solved with id zero (one in 2010, one in 2012, most likely set at the time because of some network/database error). I cleared those records now.. |
